From Field to Film: Kike Hernandez and Mariana Vicente Love Story

Kike Fell In Love With Mariana After Watching Her Movie “Hot Tub Time Machine 2”

Back in 2015, after hustling on the field with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the MLB player Kike Hernandez decided to kick back and indulge in a movie – none other than the classic flick Hot Tub Time Machine 2.

But our guy wasn’t just casually watching; he had his eagle eyes locked on a specific actress, the captivating Mariana Vicente.

Curiosity piqued, he went for some online stalking – erm, we mean, research – to get a sneak peek of his newfound interest. A delightful surprise awaited him: Mariana was a fellow Puerto Rican dwelling in the City of Angels, just like our cunning ballplayer.

Kike, of course, then slid into her social media DMs and showered her with congratulatory messages for her silver screen antics.

He Knew He Wanted To Marry Her From The First Date

Fast forward two months, and it’s lunchtime – not just any lunch, mind you. Kike and Mariana orchestrated a rendezvous, a tête-à-tête that would spark the flames of destiny.

The moment Kike laid eyes upon her in person, he had a revelation, a crystal-clear vision that whispered, “One day, my friend, you’ll be proposing to this stunning woman.”

And so it happened. Mariana, embodying the allure of her modeling days, stood before him, just as breathtaking and enchanting as her photos portrayed.

The stage was set, the chemistry undeniable, and after six months of a delightful dance of friendship, they finally unveiled the grand secret – the mutual tug of romantic feelings that had been simmering beneath the surface.

Mariana shared a lovely photo memory of their wedding with a caption: “I love growing with you. Literally and figuratively. Happy 2 year wedding anniversary mi amor! ❤️ May God bless us with a lifetime of togetherness. And may God bless Penelope with your butt.”

Fairytale Wedding And Welcoming Their First Child – Penelope Isabel

A few years down the line, Mariana and Kike decided to take a break from baseball madness and escape to Big Sur. While waiting for their room, little did Mariana know; they were waiting for a sneaky photographer who had to hike his way in.

Room ready, Kike dove into his backpack like a man on a mission – hunting for the ring.

Meanwhile, clueless, Mariana thought the hotel was just being extra nice and started filming their room tour for the fam. And BAM! Kike goes down on one knee, caught on “oops-I-deleted-it” Snapchat video.

Wedding bells chimed, and the hunt for a Puerto Rican venue was on. Since most guests were island newbies, the couple went full-on “Puerto Rican experience.”

Mariana floated in, dressed to impress, wearing a champagne silk-organza gown with a matching cape while Kike rocked a custom burgundy tux with their pup pals in the lining – fur-ever love!

Officiant speaks the magic words, they kiss, and Drake’s “In My Feelings” starts jamming – “Kiki, do you love me?” Nailed it, nickname style!

January 19, 2021 – Baby Penelope Isabel enters the scene. Love and joy multiplied – adding more cuteness and blessings.
