Last year, before having a historic last season, Albert Pujols went through some hardships in his personal life. Somewhat around the opening day of 2022, a piece of news got released. It said that Pujols and his wife Diedre had filed for divorce and would be separating because of irreconcilable differences. However, as soon as the news came out, the former athlete started to get heavily slammed because the statement had come just days after his ex-wife Diedre had gone through brain surgery.
