Jose Altuve, the Houston Astros’ second baseman, played against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on August 1, with his family cheering him on enthusiastically from the stands. Altuve’s wife, Nina, accompanied by their two daughters, demonstrated heartfelt support for the Astros player during the game, highlighting the close family bond amid the competitive MLB season.
On her Instagram story, Nina posted a video showing the scoreboard displaying Altuve’s statistics alongside footage of his family applauding and rooting for him.
“We got your back, papito,” she wrote in the caption.
In another charming clip, Nina shared moments of their daughters, Melanie Andrea Altuve, born in 2016, and Lucia Altuve, born in 2020, dressed in matching customized sweatshirts like their mother. The video included a lighthearted mood with a laughing emoji and the Spanish song AY Vamos, which encouraged support and excitement before the game began.
Revisiting the Mexico City Series Through Nina’s Social Media
Earlier in April 2024, Nina Altuve reflected on the Mexico City Series by sharing several images on her social media account. The carousel included five photos capturing moments from this special MLB event, where the Houston Astros and Colorado Rockies played.
One of the photos featured Nina wearing an orange Astros jersey, standing before a poster of Jose Altuve in his Astros field jersey. Another showed her posing by an MLB World Tour banner with the participating teams’ names displayed prominently. A final image presented Altuve with his back turned, clearly showing his iconic No. 27 jersey.
“Thank you beautiful and dear Mexico for a fun weekend of baseball,” she wrote in the caption (translated).
Altuve’s Season Performance and Family Support Impact
Despite going hitless in the recent game against the Red Sox, Altuve’s overall season has been solid. Through 106 games, he has maintained a .281 batting average, amassing 114 hits in 405 at-bats. The visible encouragement from his wife and daughters highlights the significance of family support in fostering his continued success and resilience on the field.
The presence of Jose Altuve’s family at key games and their public expressions of support not only demonstrate their strong bond but also inspire fans and teammates alike. Moving forward, this unwavering family backing is likely to remain a positive force as Altuve and the Houston Astros push through the remainder of the MLB season.
