The couple, who share three sons, Charlie, born in 2016, Brandon, born in 2020, and Maximus, born in 2021, then playfully asked their social media fans, \u201cWhat do you think\u2026 brother or sister?\u201d The caption accompanied a family photo that saw one of their sons holding up a black-and-white sonogram image.<\/p>\n
The news comes after Chelsea spoke to Us Weekly last year about the frightening health emergency<\/a> that rocked the couple\u2019s family. After Maximus was rushed to hospital in July 2024 as a result of being unable to sit, stand or walk, he was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder: Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome, an autoimmune disorder where the body\u2019s immune system attacks the nerves.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \t\t\t \n\t\t\tGilbert Flores\/Golden Globes 2024\/Getty Images Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman and wife Chelsea Freeman\u2019s relationship has been a well-documented home run. Freddie and Chelsea got married in November 2014 and have since welcomed three sons: Charlie, Brandon and Maximus.\u00a0 The whole family made the move to California when Freddie signed a six-year, $162 million [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n Chelsea, who described the situation<\/a> as the most \u201cterrifying thing\u201d she had been through, told Us in March 2025, \u201cHe\u2019s been so resilient. It\u2019s been amazing to see. He\u2019s still in [physical therapy] two times a week. It will be a full one-year recovery before he\u2019s back to complete normal.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that the family have looked for a silver lining amid the health scare. \u201cIt obviously taught us that health is everything. It was awful. He was fully paralyzed on a ventilator. Seeing him able to play outside, it\u2019s really a miracle for how sick he was,\u201d she explained at the time.<\/p>\n The couple\u2019s fourth child is not the first carried via surrogacy. In 2021, ESPN<\/a> reported that the Freemans \u201cexplored fertility options\u201d after trying to fall pregnant following the birth of their eldest son. After a surrogate was arranged to carry their second child, Chelsea also became pregnant \u201cnearly simultaneously,\u201d per the outlet.<\/p>\n \t\tThank You!<\/p>\n You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n The athlete told the outlet at the time that the pair hoped their story would provide motivation for other hopeful parents. \u201cEvery pregnancy and fertility journey is a little bit different for everyone \u2026 I think it\u2019s an inspirational story that we have,\u201d he said. \u201cWe tried for a couple of years, and it didn\u2019t happen. We were talking with doctors, and they suggested surrogacy. We jumped at that, because we wanted to be blessed with more kids.\u201d<\/p>\n Chelsea added that she had hoped for a large family soon after meeting Freddie. \u201cAs long as I\u2019ve known him, he said that since he was a little boy, he always knew he wanted to be a dad,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cAs important as being a baseball player to him is, I think being a dad is even more important.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Freddie](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/dodgers-star-freddie-freeman-and-wife-chelseas-relationship-timeline-fight-for-glory-kiss.jpg?crop=0px%2C0px%2C2000px%2C1131px&resize=400%2C225&quality=40&strip=all\")
