Freddie Freeman, renowned first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and his wife Chelsea have recently expanded their family, welcoming their fourth child, a daughter named London Rosemary Joy Freeman. The joyous announcement was made via a heartfelt Instagram post on Tuesday, April 21, revealing that London was born on Saturday, April 19. The couple’s family now totals six, including their three sons: Charlie, aged nine, and five-year-old twins Max and Brandon.

In their Instagram post, the Freemans shared a series of photos capturing tender moments from their hospital experience. The first image featured their sons gathered around their new sister as proud parents Chelsea and Freddie stood by, all smiles amidst the new addition to their family. Another photograph depicted Chelsea lovingly cradling baby London in her arms, allowing the joy of motherhood to shine through as Freddie stood close by. The final snap showcased London swaddled snugly in a blanket, complete with a charming white hat embellished with a large pink bow.
This recent addition to their family comes after the Freemans announced their fourth pregnancy in a February Instagram post. At that time, they revealed that the newest member of their family would be welcomed via surrogate. The post included a picture of Chelsea posing in a black turtleneck with their three boys, as their eldest, Charlie, proudly displayed a sonogram image. Chelsea and Freddie expressed their delight with a caption that read, “Worth the wait 🤍 Baby #4 is on the way and our hearts are already so full.”
The couple took a moment to acknowledge their surrogate’s contribution to their family while emphasising the importance of respecting her privacy during this journey. In a lighthearted manner, they asked their followers to guess whether the baby would be a brother or sister.
Freeman and Chelsea have been open about their dream of having a large family. In a previous interview with ESPN, Chelsea mentioned that Freddie has always aspired to be a father, a dream he has nurtured since childhood. “As important as being a baseball player to him is, I think being a dad is even more important,” added Chelsea, highlighting the couple’s shared commitment to family life.
Since their marriage in 2014, the couple has celebrated a number of milestones as parents. Their first son, Frederick Charles II, more commonly known as Charlie, was born in 2016. After a period of struggling to conceive a sibling for Charlie, the couple opted for surrogacy to grow their family. Remarkably, in a fortunate turn of events, Chelsea found out she was pregnant just prior to an impending embryo transfer. This unexpected blessing resulted in the birth of their sons Brandon John and Maximus Turner within mere months of each other—arriving in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Freddie and Chelsea affectionately refer to these two youngest boys as “twins with a twist,” emphasising their close bond and the unique circumstances surrounding their births. With the arrival of baby London, a new chapter begins for the Freeman family, filled with the love and challenges that come with raising four children.
As the couple prepares for life as parents of four, many in the sporting community are sending their congratulations. Freddie Freeman is not only known for his prowess on the baseball field but also for his devotion to family. With each new child, the Freemans demonstrate their commitment to creating a nurturing and loving environment for their children.
As they navigate the joys of parenting a daughter after three sons, the Freeman family epitomises growth, love, and resilience. Those closest to them look forward to seeing how their family dynamic evolves with the inclusion of baby London, and the adventure that awaits them as they embrace parenthood in all its glory.
