Cody Bellinger's impending move to the Yankees could make things very awkward in New York - as he's currently married to one of his new teammate's ex-girlfriends. Reports emerged on Tuesday claiming that the Yankees have secured Bellinger in a trade from the Chicago Cubs, who will send $5million for salary relief while receiving right-handed reliever Cody Poteet in return.

It comes as another huge boost for the team in the wake of crosstown rivals the New York Mets winning the hotly-contested race for Juan Soto earlier this month. However, eagle-eyed fans have already highlighted an extremely awkward sub-plot in Bellinger's trade to the Yankees: his wife used to date Giancarlo Stanton.

The former MVP, 29, is married to stunning model Chase Bellinger, 27 - who was known as Chase Carter prior to their wedding in December 2023. The couple have been together since the summer of 2020, which is just over a year on from the end of her relationship with Stanton - the five-time All Star slugger who recently wrapped up his seventh season with the Yankees.

Stanton still has three years left on a mammoth 13-year contract worth $325m, meaning he will be going nowhere anytime soon. Nevertheless, since he and Chase went their separate ways the 35-year-old had been dating 27-year-old Asiana Hung-Barnes, only for the pair to reportedly call it quits in the summer.
