What Dodgers Idol Freddie Freeman’s 3 Kids Look Like – Pics of Sons, Including Boy Who Was Paralyzed at 3

Freddie Freeman might be one of the best baseball players of his time, but the sport isn’t the only thing he holds dear to his heart. He and his wife share three children, one of whom was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease.

On October 30, 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series with the help of baseball player Freddie. The athlete and his team won against the New York Yankees, beating them 7-6 at New York Stadium.

In an Instagram post, the baseball player was seen holding aloft his Willie Mays World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award while celebrating with his teammates. While playing baseball is his career passion, Freddie has something more personal that he’s always desired.

Striking a comparison between her husband’s love for baseball and parenting, she added, “As important as being a baseball player to him is, I think being a dad is even more important.” Over the years, Chelsea has helped him fulfill that dream three times! Let’s meet the trio.

Freddie and Chelsea’s first child is his namesake, Frederick Charles Freeman II. He was born in 2016 and is eight years old in 2024. After his birth in September of that same year, his mother uploaded their first family photo.

In the Instagram post, Freddie was dressed in hospital scrubs, posing for a picture while his wife lay in bed holding their firstborn child. Chelsea revealed her labor with her son took more than a day, with Charles needing a C-section.

Freddie’s son seems keen on the sport, as he was seen playing with his father in an Instagram post the athlete titled, “Just like Dad. 🥹” In March 2024, Charles got to show off what he’d learned from his father.

Chelsea posted several Instagram photos of her and Charles posing with Freddie and the World Series trophy. One image showed the little boy holding the accolade with his father, while the last picture was of the athlete and his trophy.

The next child to join the Freeman home is another son.

While trying for a second child, Chelsea’s home pregnancy tests kept coming up negative. Eventually, she and her husband decided to consult doctors and physicians. They attended many appointments, went through various procedures, and had many tests.

Due to the baseball season, she attended many of the appointments alone. She confessed that it is one of the hardest things she’s gone through mentally, with emotions running high.

Chelsea felt drained at the time and would question why the infertility issues were happening to her and whether it was God’s plan. Unfortunately, none of the measures they took were successful, and they weren’t sure if they’d have another child.

When they still couldn’t conceive, they were told Chelsea wouldn’t carry again, so the couple quickly embraced the idea of getting pregnant via surrogate. In the spring of 2020, the athlete’s wife had a procedure done to prepare for an embryo transfer.

She continued, “And then it’s just all of those emotions again. It really did feel like immediately I was healed, all the stress and everything lifted off my shoulders when I saw that positive.” Since her husband was exercising at the time, she thought of a way to surprise him.

When asked if they still wanted to do the embryo transfer, the couple agreed. Although the athlete is quite private and has no interest in social media, in 2020, his wife shared their fertility issues via Instagram.

Brandon John Freeman was born on December 30, 2020, and is now three years old. The boy’s name is in honor of his mother’s grandfather. On March 4, 2024, Freddie and Chelsea celebrated his belated birthday by sharing images of him on Instagram.

Like his older brother, Brandon attends some of his father’s matches.

The last addition to the family is also a boy.

Maximus Turner Freeman became the third addition to the family when he was born on February 14, 2021. His middle name is a reference to the ballpark where his father played his first home game with the Atlanta Braves.

She added, “I think our story is definitely a story that God always has a bigger plan. … Whether a family is looking towards fostering, adoption or surrogacy, children — no matter which way they come — are truly a blessing for any family.”

In March 2024, Maximus celebrated his third birthday, with his parents posting several Instagram photos of the special occasion. Giving some insight into their son’s personality, the parents described him as “cheeky, smart and kind.”

With pictures of him blowing out birthday cake candles, they added, “You are determined and meticulous at everything you do. You give the BEST kisses. Happy 3rd Birthday!!! We love you so much!!”

Maximus experienced major pain until he couldn’t sit, walk, or stand. He was initially diagnosed with transient synovitis, a rare condition also known as irritable hip.

The illness sees the body’s immune system attacking the nerves, and now Maximus has to relearn how to do everything.

It took eight days in the hospital before he was discharged to continue recovering at home.

During the game, Freddie received a standing ovation from the crowd after he got up to bat. Fans cheered for him for almost a minute before he stepped up to the plate.

During a press conference, he fought back tears while sharing how Maximus had a scar on his hand from where his IV’s where put that he called a “boo boo.”

Yet, they were still waiting for his reflexes to return. His parents also considered leg braces, but Maximus’s recovery has been so good they are rethinking it.

Wishing him a speedy and complete recovery.
