Jeremy Pena on receiving marriage proposals from female fans: "I did, but my girlfriend wasn't happy about that" 

Ever since Houston Astros rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena became a World Series champion, he has been flooded with marriage proposals from the ladies. The 25-year-old World Series MVP has got it all: looks, talent, poise and humility. Former MLB player Harold Reynolds also went as far as to tag him as the next Derek Jeter.

However, it seems that the attention Jeremy is receiving didn't go down well with his long-time girlfriend, Vasiliqi Turlla. In an interview with Click2Houston, Jeremy was asked whether he saw the marriage proposal signs at the World Series Victory Parade on Nov. 7.

In response, Pena laughingly admitted:

"I did, but my girlfriend wasn't happy about that."

"Jeremy says he saw all those marriage proposal signs at the parade yesterday…but joked that his girlfriend wasn’t too happy about that." - Daniel Gotera

Jeremy and Vasiliqi are college sweethearts and have been in a relationship since his minor league days with Quad Cities River Bandits.

In 2019, Pena took to his Instagram to post a picture with Vasiliqi calling her his "no. 1 fan."

"Glad I got to play in front of my no. 1 fan this week." - Jeremy
