Meet MLB star Gerrit Cole’s wife Amy, from a family of athletes: she played softball at college and the future couple even worked out together … but why did she make him wait a year for a date?
The retired softball player who was in the Bruins team – and once ran a food blog called A Coleinary Experience – is already introducing her two young sons to baseball
But whom does Cole go home to after a long day in the bullpen? Meet his wife, retired athlete Amy Cole (née Crawford). She once ran a food blog called A Coleinary Experience … but what else do we know about her?
Amy and Gerrit Cole were college sweethearts
According to People, the Coles met when they were both attending UCLA. She was in the Bruins’ softball team and he played baseball. They worked out together and were friends before Cole decided to ask her out. She said yes more than a year after he confessed his feelings, when she saw him put in the effort. “I was moving into my new apartment, and Gerrit drove an hour and a half after a wedding just to help me move. My mum was there with me, and he showed up with a bouquet of flowers for her birthday,” she told Inside Weddings. Their first date happened soon after and they’ve been together since. They tied the knot in 2016 at The Ritz-Carlton in Santa Barbara, California.
Her siblings are athletes too
Amy’s brother is former MLB shortstop Brandon Crawford, who’s also a UCLA Bruins alumnus, reports People. He played for the San Francisco Giants and concluded his professional run with the St Louis Cardinals in 2024. Amy supported her brother throughout his career; he even played with Gerrit in the 2015 All-Star Game. In an April 2022 match, she passionately cheered the Giants with her son Caden. Amy’s sister, Jenna, played softball for the Bruins, like her.
