Trevor Story and Wife Announce Divorce After Years of Marriage
January 5, 2025 — In an unexpected and somber announcement, Trevor Story, the professional baseball player for the Boston Red Sox, and his wife, Megan Story, have confirmed that they are divorcing after several years of marriage. The announcement came through a joint statement issued on the couple’s social media platforms.
Trevor Story, known for his exceptional career as a shortstop in Major League Baseball, and Megan, a private individual who has kept a low public profile over the years, had been married for five years. The couple, who had been together since their college days, built a seemingly stable family life with their two children. Their public persona as a united couple has long been a source of admiration among their fans and the baseball community. However, recent revelations have brought their relationship to an unfortunate end.
The Announcement
In their joint statement, the couple expressed their deep sadness about the decision, but emphasized their commitment to maintaining an amicable and respectful relationship for the sake of their children.
“We would like to share with our friends, family, and fans that after much reflection and discussion, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” the statement reads. “This has been an incredibly difficult decision, but one we believe is best for both of us as individuals and as parents. We remain devoted to our children and will continue to co-parent with love and respect.”
The statement also expressed gratitude to fans for their support and privacy during this challenging time.
“We appreciate the understanding and privacy extended to us during this personal period. While we both move forward separately, we are united in our commitment to raising our children in a positive, loving environment. We ask for everyone’s respect as we navigate this next chapter of our lives.”
A Look Back at Their Relationship
Trevor and Megan Story first met in college at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, where Trevor played college baseball and Megan attended as a student. Their relationship quickly blossomed, with the couple often spotted together at various events and enjoying life outside of the sports spotlight. Their romance was one of the few in the baseball world that remained largely private, with few glimpses into their personal life until their marriage in 2019.
Their wedding was an intimate affair, with close friends, family, and a select group of baseball colleagues in attendance. The couple welcomed two children, a son and a daughter, over the course of their marriage. Despite the high-profile nature of Trevor’s career, the couple rarely spoke about their relationship publicly, keeping most details about their family life away from the media. This only served to increase the curiosity of fans, who admired the couple’s seemingly perfect, low-key approach to family life.
However, as the pressures of Trevor’s demanding baseball schedule increased — including his mid-career move from the Colorado Rockies to the Boston Red Sox — many had speculated that the couple’s private life might have faced new strains. In recent months, Trevor’s growing commitments to the Red Sox, combined with the demands of a young family, may have taken a toll on their marriage. Sources close to the couple have hinted that the separation was amicable, with both Trevor and Megan focusing on different priorities moving forward.
The Impact on Trevor Story’s Career
While Trevor Story’s career on the baseball diamond has remained impressive — with his five-time Gold Glove nomination and recognition as one of the top shortstops in the league — this announcement comes at a time when his career continues to be under intense scrutiny. Having signed a significant contract with the Red Sox in 2022, Story has been adjusting to life in Boston, working hard to integrate with his new team and deliver for the fanbase.
Friends of the player have acknowledged that his focus on the game and his children will remain his top priorities. “Trevor is a professional,” said one source familiar with the player’s routine. “He’ll do what he always does — show up, work hard, and be there for his team. He’s resilient, and while this is a tough moment, it won’t distract him from his responsibilities on the field.”
Reactions from Friends and Family
The news of their separation has elicited a range of reactions from family, friends, and fans. The Boston Red Sox issued a brief statement expressing their support for Trevor, stating that the organization respects his privacy and stands behind him during this difficult time. Fellow MLB players and coaches have also expressed sympathy and support, with several reaching out to the couple personally.
“Trevor is a great guy and a dedicated father. It’s hard for anyone to go through something like this in the public eye,” said a long-time teammate of Story’s. “But he has a strong support system, and we’re all here for him.”
Megan Story, who had stayed largely out of the public eye throughout their marriage, has remained quiet since the announcement, though it is expected that she will continue her life outside the limelight. Friends have described her as a private person who always put her family first, and many expressed admiration for the dignified way she handled the divorce announcement.
Looking Ahead
As both Trevor and Megan Story look ahead to the future, it remains unclear what the next chapter of their personal lives will entail. While their fans may be saddened by the news, both individuals have made it clear that they are focused on moving forward in a way that benefits their children and their personal growth.
For now, Trevor Story is expected to continue playing for the Red Sox, while the couple navigates their new roles as co-parents. With both individuals committed to providing their children with a stable and supportive environment, many are hopeful that the transition will be as smooth as possible for their family.
In time, the hope is that the Story family will find peace, healing, and a new sense of purpose, moving forward with love and mutual respect despite the challenges ahead.
