(The couple held a second wedding the following month.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Marlins Man shared a photo of the trio in their seats, though he admittedly wasn\u2019t familiar with the \u201cLevitating\u201d singer and her actor husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cSo i had no idea who this couple were and they were so nice and friendly to everyone,\u201d Marlins Man shared <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/marlins_man\/status\/2108058126263914691?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">via X<\/a>. \u201cI told them i know sports, not music nor movies. They recently got married in june in italy i think. I wish them 50 years or more of happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As his interactions with Lipa, which were visible throughout the game on the Fox broadcast, started going viral on social media, Marlins Man shared more details about his new friend.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt was her 1st baseball [game] ever,\u201d he wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/marlins_man\/status\/2108059055948202046?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">via X<\/a>. \u201cAnd 1st american hot dog ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Marlins Man boasted he even got Lipa \u201cstand during god bless america unlike Bad Bunny.\u201d (In October 2025, Marlins Man was unsuccessful in convincing the Puerto Rican rapper to stand during the song at a Yankees playoff game in New York City.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ultimately, Marlins Man said Lipa was \u201csuper nice\u201d and he had a \u201cspecial night\u201d with the newlyweds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was not a special night for the Yankees, however, who lost to the Rays, 4-3, and were swept in their American League Divisional Series three games to none.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tampa Bay advances to play the winner of the series between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox in the American League Championship Series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\tThank You!<\/p>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Marlins Man explained the origins of his omnipresence at major sporting events in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/video\/clip\/_\/id\/17103430\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">an interview with ESPN<\/a> in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI\u2019ve been doing this for a long time, but pretty much in teal,\u201d he explained. \u201cWhen the Marlins went into orange, somebody in San Francisco said, \u2018Come to the World Series and bring your orange Marlins jersey.\u2019 And that\u2019s when it started. Then I wore it to the [Miami] Heat playoff games in 2012 and 2013. When I wore it, the Heat won. And when I didn\u2019t wear it, they lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Marlins Man continued, \u201cSo people said, \u2018Wear the jersey.\u2019 It became a good luck thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dua Lipa and husband Callum Turner had a date night at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, October 7 \u2014&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":824640,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2395],"tags":[5,16221,1296,41068,1816,778,58,4171,4,185],"class_list":["post-824639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami-marlins","tag-baseball","tag-celebrity-news","tag-entertainment","tag-love-lives","tag-marlins","tag-miami","tag-miami-marlins","tag-miamimarlins","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117405914862679446","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=824639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/824640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=824639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=824639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=824639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
