Former National League MVP Cody Bellinger's trade from the Chicago Cubs to the New York Yankees has added some intrigue to the Bronx Bombers' lineup, not just for his on-field potential, but also for a unique off-field connection. Bellinger's fiancée, model Chase Carter, previously dated Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton.

Bellinger and Carter, who share two daughters and got engaged in 2023, are now entering a team environment where Carter's former relationship with Stanton is a notable subplot. Reports from 2018 indicate that Stanton and Carter were seen together in the Bahamas, with Carter even sharing a video of them on social media. They reportedly met at a charity softball game. Carter was also present when the Yankees triumphed over the Minnesota Twins in the 2019 ALDS.

Bellinger and Carter's relationship reportedly began in 2020. Carter, originally from the Bahamas, has had a successful modeling career starting at the age of 13, working with brands like Victoria’s Secret Pink, Maybelline, and Urban Outfitters. She has also mentioned her passion for sports, even being a javelin thrower in the Bahamas at one time. As for Stanton, reports from May 2024 linked him to hospitality worker Asiana Jayd Hung-Barnes.
