Shohei Ohtani And Wife Mamiko Tanaka Steal The Show at Lakers Game

Shohei Ohtani, star of the Los Angeles Dodgers and one of baseball's biggest names, made headlines again this week—but not for his play on the field. Instead, it was Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, who captured attention during the Lakers vs. Trail Blazers game in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

Ohtani, fresh off a historic season with the Dodgers, is coming off a World Series win after signing a record-breaking 10-year, $700 million contract. In 2023, he became the first MLB player ever to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. Although he didn't pitch last year due to UCL surgery, Ohtani remains a star both as a hitter and pitcher, boasting a career 3.01 ERA.

But this time, it wasn’t just Shohei making waves. His wife, Mamiko Tanaka, turned heads at the Lakers game. A former professional basketball player for the Fujitsu Red Wave in Japan, Tanaka rarely makes public appearances with Ohtani, which made the night even more special for fans.

The couple, who announced their marriage on February 28 via Instagram, received custom Lakers jerseys during the game. The Lakers shared the moment with the caption, “SHO-TIME 💜💛.” Fans on social media quickly buzzed about Tanaka, with many praising her style and athletic background.


One fan wrote, “Need Mamiko to suit up,” while another shared a photo of the couple, saying, “Sho & Mamiko @ the Lakers game.” Major League Baseball also shared a photo of the pair showing off their jerseys, adding, “Shohei Ohtani and Mamiko are at the Lakers game tonight and were gifted custom jerseys 💛💜.”


Ohtani, a three-time MVP, has become a sports icon in Los Angeles. After leading the Dodgers to a World Series championship in October, he’s now enjoying some downtime with his wife. Their courtside appearance at the Lakers game offered fans a rare glimpse of the power couple outside of the sports spotlight. Source

Khabib Nurmagomedov Reveals Justin Gaethje Hit Him Hardest In UFC Career

Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib Nurmagomedov , one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, has faced many tough opponents. But when it comes to punching power, he says no one hit harder than Justin Gaethje . The two fought at UFC 254 on October 24, 2020. It was Khabib’s last fight before retiring. During the bout, Gaethje landed heavy punches and kicks that Khabib admitted were painful. “He hit like a truck,” Khabib said on Mike Tyson ’s Hotboxin' podcast. “His left hook, right hook, uppercut—they all hurt. But I made him hit me because I knew he didn’t like wrestling. My plan was to tire him out by standing with him, then take him to the ground and finish the fight.” Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib ended the fight with a triangle choke submission. He explained he chose the move out of respect for Gaethje’s parents, who were watching. “I didn’t want to break his arm in front of his parents,” Khabib said. “So I put him to sleep instead. That’s better.” D...
