Ohtani revealed on Feb. 29 that he was married, but he did not provide his wife's name. Instead, the 29-year-old said he "began a new life with someone from my Native country of Japan who is very special to me."
Like Ohtani, Tanaka is an athlete on the national stage. The 27-year-old is a professional basketball player who last played in the Women's Japan Basketball League with the Fujitsu Red Wave in 2023.
