The pair became engaged in January 2014, less than a year after Chelsea's graduation.
"He makes me smile every single day, he encourages me when I'm down, he still opens my car door, he's learned to buy me a card and flowers every birthday," Chelsea wrote of Freddie in 2014. "I've watched him mature into the amazing man he is today. He is the first and only man I have ever loved... 3 years ago he asked me to be his girlfriend. And I'm sure glad he did."
"It's so beautiful. It's just perfect. It fits her amazing. I just love it so much," Freddie said of the dress during the episode.
"It surpassed everything I've accomplished in my life," Freddie added of his wedding day. "I can't wait to share my life with her for the rest of my life."
"It was a lot of doctors' appointments, a lot of procedures, a lot of tests," Chelsea told ESPN in February 2021. "A lot of them by myself, because it was during the baseball season. It's all worth it in the end, but going through that ... definitely one of the hardest things mentally that you could go through."
"The hardest part about going through infertility is the emotion," she continued. "You are so drained because you don't know why — like, 'Why isn't it happening? How is this part of God's plan?' You think about those things."

The Freemans worked with a surrogate to have another child. Chelsea Freeman became pregnant simultaneously with the surrogate. Brandon John Freeman, named for Chelsea's grandfather, arrived December 20, 2020. Maximus Turner Freeman, whose middle name references the Atlanta Braves' previous stadium, was born February 14, 2021.
"Every pregnancy and fertility journey is a little bit different for everyone, and we wanted to respect our surrogate's privacy, as well," Freddie said in the same interview. "I think it's an inspirational story that we have. We tried for a couple of years, and it didn't happen. We were talking with doctors, and they suggested surrogacy. We jumped at that because we wanted to be blessed with more kids."
"As long as I've known him, he said that since he was a little boy, he always knew he wanted to be a dad," Chelsea told ESPN of her husband in November 2020. "As important as being a baseball player to him is, I think being a dad is even more important."
In March 2021, Freddie told MLB.com that separation from his family represents one of the most difficult aspects of professional athletics.
"I know there are so many people who are gone way longer than me in the military and stuff like that," he said. "I get it but I'm not built to be able to do that. I need my family."
"If I had one word to sum up the 2022 season, it would be resilience," she wrote on Instagram in October 2022. "I am always proud of Freddie, but this year was different. I saw you become an even better man, teammate, and player. To know you, is to love you and I cannot wait to see what the next season brings. Thank you LA, for an absolutely incredible first year. ?."
