Maria Arias MLB Jose Fernandez’s Pregnant Girlfriend

Maria Arias

Maria Arias is the mourning and pregnant girlfriend of late MLB star, Jose Fernandez. The 24-year-old is currently going what we imagine must be the most difficult time of her life.

She surfaced for the first time yesterday, as she was pictured joining Jose’s Miami Marlins teammates and family for an emotional memorial service.

Following Jose’s tragic death in a boating accident on Sept. 25, it was first reported his expectant girlfriend was, Carla Mendoza. However, the former Marlins Cheerleader took to social media and denied reports by writing in an Instagram post

“My heart goes out to Maria, as she is expecting his child,”

Mendoza and Jose dated for over three years and got engaged at one point. Reports say Jose broke off their engagement in April and soon after began a relationship with Maria Arias –a former college psychology major.

It’s clear Jose was close to Maria’s family. He even spent the holidays with them.

He is also in photos in Arias’ father back in August. Maria and Jose were celebrating after a gender reveal cake informed them they were having a girl.
