The Truth About JoAnna Garcia Swisher's Famous Husband

Actress JoAnna Garcia Swisher met her future husband in 2009, according to the New York Post, and it's been a love story ever since. O, The Oprah Magazine reports that Swisher played for five teams during his 12-year career in the MLB, and was playing for the New York Yankees when they won the World Series in 2009. He went on to be named an All-Star in 2010.

A mutual friend set up the couple. "It certainly wasn't the first type of profession for a guy that I wanted to date," Garcia Swisher told Us Weekly in 2018. "I didn't think like, 'Yea! This sounds great.' But the second I met him — I went to go see him play a baseball game against the Mets and I thought, 'Wow, he's just really refreshing and he's really kind,'" she recalled. "He's exactly what people would imagine him to be. He is what you think he is. He's a good egg."

The couple got married in 2010 in front of 350 people, including some very famous actors, actresses, and athletes! According to O, Reba McEntire, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, and Lance Bass were all part of the bridal party. Other famous attendees included actress Cameron Diaz and baseball players Alex Rodriguez and Johnny Damon.

The actress and former athlete have two little girls, Emerson Jay, who was born on May 21, 2013, and Sailor Stevie, who was born on June 28, 2016.
