When you marry a ballplayer, date nights tend to come with a side of baseball—whether you planned for it or not. Just ask Kellie Muncy, wife of Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Max Muncy. For Mother’s Day, the couple snuck away for a well-deserved date night, aiming to swap the chaos of kids and home life for fine wine and Italian food in downtown La-la-land. But while Kellie had her heart set on quality time, Max, ever the competitor, had one eye on her and the other on the game.

The couple dined at Settecento DTLA, a sleek Italian spot famous for its wood-fired pizzas and elegant vibes. Kellie captured the evening with a carousel of Instagram stories: a wine bottle of Tignanello, artfully plated desserts, and a glowing selfie of the two lovebirds. Yet, it was a single frame—Max, utterly engrossed in a baseball game airing nearby—that stole the show. It wasn’t just a candid moment. It was peak Max Muncy. And Kellie, as usual, knew exactly how to deliver it with charm and wit: “I mean… a restaurant that has baseball playing? @maxmuncy is sold.”

“Thank you for a special parent’s night out to celebrate Mother’s Day with my love @settecentodtla,” Kellie captioned the carousel of photos, where Max beams beside her, clad in his signature casual flannel. Another snap captured two pizzas taking up most of the table space—subtly hinting at Max’s well-documented appetite.

For Dodgers fans, it’s no secret that Muncy’s love for pizza has practically become part of his brand. Kellie’s lighthearted documentation of their night felt like an affectionate nod to that. And she didn’t stop there. Her review? She went straight to the point: “Vibes, food & atmosphere were all 10/10,” she wrote, pairing the message with emojis that summed up her enthusiasm.

That small glimpse into their date night resonated far beyond just cute photos and good food. It was a reminder that even Major League stars and their families carve out time for ordinary moments—pizza, wine, dessert, and some laughs along the way. And with Kellie’s knack for sharing those slices of life with humor and warmth, fans were once again reminded why the Muncys are one of baseball’s most relatable couples.

Let’s just say, when Muncy isn’t hitting bombs at Dodger Stadium, he’s likely eyeing a Margherita or pepperoni. And thanks to Kellie, we all get a front-row seat.

From dugouts to home runs: Kellie Muncy’s steadfast support in Max’s career

If there’s one thing Muncy doesn’t take for granted, it’s the woman who’s been by his side long before he became a household name at Dodger Stadium. Behind the slugger’s big swings and clutch moments is Kellie, a steady presence who’s helped guide him through the highs and lows of professional baseball. And Max? He’s the first to say it: “I would not be anywhere close to where I am today without you!”

That support hasn’t just been emotional. Kellie’s been active in Max’s journey from cheering in the stands to showing up during the hard times. When Max was battling injuries and an early-season slump in 2022, she threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium on his bobblehead night. A small gesture to some, but to Max, it meant everything.

“Kellie has always been my rock,” he said about his wife in an interview earlier in March. “Her support allows me to focus on what I love, knowing I have her behind me every step of the way.”

Their journey goes back to Baylor University, where the two first met. Over a decade later, they’re raising a family, navigating the chaos of parenting, and still showing up for one another like teammates. Kellie’s role may not be in the headlines, but make no mistake, her impact is felt in every game Max plays. Whether it’s managing the home front, offering pep talks after tough games, or just being that grounding force, Kellie brings consistency to a sport that rarely offers it.

In a world of stats and scoreboards, she’s the calm that keeps Max charging forward, and fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
