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

Bruce Springsteen Says Fame Once Scared Him and Therapy Saved His Life

Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   Bruce Springsteen says he feared fame would change him when his career took off with Born to Run  in 1975.  The rocker, now 76, told TIME100 in a cover story on Sept. 25 that he felt life becoming very different after his first TIME and Newsweek  covers.  He said the praise for his music was a dream come true but came with new problems.  Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   His sister Pam even told him about paparazzi looking into their family kitchen, which made him worry about how fame would affect them. Springsteen called fame “a very distorted lens” and said he had to protect what mattered most to him.  Those fears helped inspire his next album, Darkness on the Edge of Town , which celebrated working-class life.  He also revealed he struggled with thoughts of suicide after his 1982 album Nebraska and began focusing on mental health.  Springsteen still goes to therapy today and says it has cha...
