Who is Blue Jays rising star Joey Loperfido's girlfriend? Meet Faith Reilly

Joey Loperfido is having a career resurgence this season. The Toronto Blue Jays outfielder, who started the season with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, was called up in early July after Andres Gimenez sprained his ankle.

Born to Amy and Joseph on May 11, 1999, in Philadelphia, Loperfido was a seventh-round pick by the Houston Astros in the 2021 MLB draft. After making his MLB debut in 2024, the Astros traded him to the Blue Jays in the same year. During his time with the Astros, Loperfido began dating Faith Ann Reilly, who, like him, is a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
