Remember when Haley Ortiz ran onto the 18th green to celebrate her husband Carlos Ortiz’s win at the 2020 Houston Open? How romantic was her display of love and support for her husband! But, hey, skip four years and read how Carlos Ortiz described meeting such an amazing partner, “She saw me. She liked me, and she told me she liked me. And I liked her back. I mean, it was a short story, but it was like that.” Rather simple? Well, you may think so. But their love and married life, which includes beautiful daughters, feels like a scene from a romantic Hollywood movie.

Haley Thompson Ortiz and Carlos Ortiz’s love story began during their college years at the University of North Texas, where they first met and started dating in 2010. After nearly seven years of dating, they decided to take the next step in their journey together. On December 10, 2017, they celebrated their love by tying the knot in a cozy and private ceremony in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, officially solidifying their connection.

Carlos Ortiz and Haley Ortiz officially welcomed their first baby girl, Sofia, on May 29, 2018, whom Ortiz called a “princess” in a 2024 interview with FTH LIVGolf. Their “tomboy” daughter, Mila, was born a year later on August 22, 2019. Their third daughter, Jules, “honestly, she does anything she wants,” as per Carlos Ortiz, was born on August 12, 2021.

Finally, they completed their family with the birth of Emma on January 28, 2023, who “does everything by herself.” Honestly, what a lovely family of six! The Ortiz family celebrated their first Christmas as a family of six in 2023, creating wonderful memories since then! But hey, Haley Thompson Ortiz, who learned Spanish as a nod to her husband’s background, shares her own vibrant life.
