“I met her in high school, and we trust each other, and she is one of my best friends. She is somebody I can talk to and is always here for me.” – Mike Trout about his loving spouse, Jessica Cox.

Trout has frequently said how much Cox means to him. He stated that his wife and family are the most significant people in his life in an interview on the MLB Network series. Both on and off the field, he attributes their support with helping him stay grounded and focused on what actually counts.

Together, they have experienced a lot, and they have emerged from it stronger than ever. It gives Trout comfort to know that he has a loving and supportive spouse at his side while he continues to make history in baseball.

A Heartbreaking Tragedy: The Cox and Trout Families Mourn the Loss of Aaron Cox

Aaron Cox, Cox’s brother, who was also a good baseball player, had spent the previous three seasons pitching for the Angels’ High A squad. His professional career, however, was abruptly halted in 2017 when he was given a 50-game ban after testing positive for Ritalin, an MLB-banned stimulant.

Following his suspension, Aaron had a hard time regaining his footing on the field and ultimately chose to quit baseball. Tragically, he passed away not long after retiring. In a public statement expressing their sorrow, the Angels organization mentioned Aaron as a member of their family since 2015.

“As our families grieve together, we will also celebrate the memories, the laughter, and the love we each shared with Aaron in the short time we had him.” – The family stated.
