As the three-time AL MVP arrived to spring training ahead of the 2018 season, sportscaster Brian Kenny congratulated him for entering a new chapter of his life, before asking Trout about his decision of tying the knot at a relatively young age.

Responding, Mike Trout opened up about how his wife, Jessica, had been right by his side 'all along his journey,' and helped shape his career into what it is today. Though the pair could be considered young when they married, they had already been together for more than a decade at that point.

"You say we're getting married young, I was with her for 11 years. She was ready and I was ready. It was a big thing for us, and it's been great so far." Trout added
