Meet Dodgers Star Freddie Freeman’s 3 Kids! All About His Sons Charlie, Brandon and Maximus

The Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman shares three kids with his wife, Chelsea Freeman

Freddie Freeman is the proud father of three boys: Fredrick Charles II, Brandon John and Maximus Turner.

A big family is something his wife, Chelsea Freeman, says the Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman has always wanted — and now he has one to cheer him on during the 2024 World Series against the New York Yankees.

“As long as I’ve known him, he said that since he was a little boy, he always knew he wanted to be a dad,” she told ESPN in 2021. “As important as being a baseball player to him is, I think being a dad is even more important.”

The couple tied the knot in 2014 and gave birth to their first child, Frederick Charles II (who goes by Charlie) in 2016. After struggling to get pregnant again, Chelsea and Freddie decided to expand their family through surrogacy. Days before the embryo transfer, Chelsea found out she was pregnant, and he told ESPN they were happily surprised to go “from one to three.”

They welcomed son Brandon John in 2020 and son Maximus Turner two months later in 2021. Chelsea and Freddie lovingly refer to their youngest boys as “twins with a twist.”

So, who are Freddie Freeman’s kids? Here’s everything to know about Charlie, Brandon and Maximus.

Frederick Charles Freeman II was born on Sept. 15, 2016, three days after his dad’s birthday. Though he also shares a name with Freddie, the eldest Freeman goes by Charlie.

Freddie, who was playing for the Atlanta Braves at the time, got the news that Chelsea was in labor during a game against the Marlins. He told MLB that he sprinted out of the home dugout as quickly as he could.

“Early on in the pregnancy, I got excited, then I got nervous and then I got excited again,” he said. “But once I got that call, a lot of emotions kind of came in.”

Chelsea announced Charlie’s birth on Instagram with a photo of her holding her newborn while Freddie smiled at the camera in a hospital gown and hairnet. In the caption, she wrote that her labor lasted over 24 hours and ended in an emergency cesarean section “after exhausting every other option.”

“Not how I wanted my labor to go, but he is healthy and perfect!!” the new mom wrote. “So smitten by this guy.”

Charlie inherited his dad’s love for baseball and attends a lot of Freddie’s games with his mom. Freddie frequently shares photos of the two of them playing catch on his Instagram, and during a home game in L.A., in March 2024, the then-7-year-old threw the first pitch. He also loves golfing and listening to Bad Bunny — so much so that in March 2024, his parents surprised him with tickets for his first-ever concert.
