Someone does not get nicknames like The Machine without putting some extra effort into what they do. Former baseball player of the St. Louis Cardinals, Albert Pujols, certainly did have what it takes to be called “The Machine.” Already considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time, Pujols, hung up his cleats after putting in twenty-two years of his life as a professional ballplayer of Major League Baseball. The former athlete did wonders in his last season as a ballplayer. 

And yesterday, the Cardinals legend celebrated his 43rd year on Earth. And to celebrate the big day, one of his kids came forward to wish him publicly. But other than one of his children, his new-found love interest also wished him.

The Machine’s impeccable skills on the diamond have turned millions of people into his fans. Whereas his personal life was a mystery until Pujols came forward and filed for divorce in early 2022. While putting on a hall-of-fame-worthy career to rest, Pujols also moved on from his marriage. The former athlete is currently dating Nicole Fernandez. She is the daughter of the former president of the Dominican Republic.
