Shohei Ohtani attended the LA Dodgers' Blue Diamond Gala this week alongside his newly-unveiled wife Mamiko Tanaka.
The $700million star stunned fans back in February when he announced that he was married to a mystery woman, before later identifying Tanaka - a Japanese basketball player - as the woman in question amid much intrigue.
As Japan's biggest celebrity, Ohtani had previously kept details about his personal life private in order to maintain his focus on baseball, with his wife not seen publicly until he shared a photo of the two of them in March.
Yet in a rare public appearance from the couple, on Thursday they arrived together for the Dodgers' annual charity fundraiser in LA, posing for photos on the red carpet before making their way into Dodger Stadium.
A number of Ohtani's teammates were also present at the gala, along with a host of celebrity guests - including British singer Ed Sheeran.
