Alex Cohen, wife of New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, is stepping away from social media to focus on being “present” in her own life.
Alex, affectionately known among Mets fans as Tia Alex, announced her decision in an open letter via Instagram shortly before deactivating her account on Tuesday, January 6.
“Tia out,” the letter began. “This will be my last post for @tiaalexnymets. I have truly enjoyed the last few years sharing moments with fans that they might not otherwise have access to. My only resolution for this year is to spend less time on my phone and social media and more time being present in my own life.”
She also revealed that her son will get married this year and she is “becoming a grandmother for the first time.”

Alex and Steve married in 1992 and share four children. Alex also has a son from a previous marriage and Steve has two kids with his first wife, Patricia Finke, to whom he was married from 1979 to 1990.
“I have made lifelong friends through Instagram and enjoyed the sneak peek into your lives, and for that I am eternally grateful,” she added.
“The Mets will always remain a priority, and so will the fans,” Alex continued. “Please don’t hesitate to say hello if you see me in person — I genuinely love those moments. If you’d like to reach out, you’re welcome to send a note via snail mail to Citi Field (please note that all mail will be monitored).”
This is not the first time Alex has taken a social media hiatus. After the 2025 regular season ended, she posted a similar letter, saying she was stepping away from her account to “recharge and refocus” after the team’s stunning collapse that kept them out of the playoffs.
“This season didn’t end the way any of us had hoped, and like you, we feel the disappointment of not making it to the playoffs,” she wrote at the time. “Still, our belief in this team remains as strong as ever.”
She continued, ”Most of all, we are deeply grateful to you — our fans. Your passion, energy and unwavering support carried us through every high and every low. Owning this team is not just about baseball; it’s about being part of a community that believes, together, in something bigger than the game itself.”
“Thank you for standing with us this season,” Alex concluded. “We’ll be back, stronger, and hungrier than ever. Until then — keep believing, keep cheering and know how much we appreciate you.”
Thank You!

The Mets finished the season with an 83-79 record, tied for the final Wild Card spot but left outside of the postseason picture. They lost 13 out of their last 20 games.
Making matters worse, New York’s disappointing end came after a 2025 season that saw the Mets spend big on high-end talent, including signing free agent outfielder Juan Soto away from the rival New York Yankees in a deal worth $765 million.
As always, the Mets will enter the 2026 season with sky-high expectations, but if the Mets are going to get back to the playoffs, it will have to be without Pete Alonso, the face of the franchise for the past half-decade. Alonso, 31, signed with the Baltimore Orioles as a free agent in the offseason.
