Lucas Giolito, the Chicago White Sox pitcher, has not only made waves on the field, but he has also captured attention off the field with his love story, which sadly is coming to an end.

Giolito married Ariana Dubelko, his high school sweetheart, and their journey together was as touching as it gets.

The wedding was a lavish affair, attended by notable MLB stars such as Jack Flaherty, Max Fried, and James Shields.

She enrolled in a Veterinary Medicine program and graduated in 2022. Beyond her academic pursuits, Ariana is actively involved in animal charities and dedicates her time to helping underprivileged individuals.
