After five weeks apart, New York Mets star Francisco Lindor had a touching reunion with his family despite a challenging baseball season. His wife, Katia Reguero, recently posted a heartwarming video on social media of Francisco greeting two of their three children, daughters Amapola Chloé and Kalina Zoé.
Off the field, the four-time All-Star has clearly been missed greatly by his family. He and his wife welcomed a third child, son Koa Amani, into the world in March 30.
Francisco Lindor, Family Share Viral Family Reunion
As much as Lindor would want his family to be with him on the road, it’s nearly impossible with a newborn at home. Katia has her hands full at the moment. In a heartwarming video posted on X, Lindor’s two girls are seen getting excited as soon as they see “papi.”

Then, with smiles on everyone’s faces, the kids run towards Lindor who scoops them up with open arms. The Mets shortstop does a joyful dance, too, as he clings to his daughters for the first time in five weeks.
It was a long reunion coming. About two weeks ago, in a post-game interview following a game in which he smacked two home runs, the 32-year-old told reporters, “I need my wife and kids to be here. I miss them.”
Instagram Love Connection
Instagram is where Francisco Lindor and his wife, Katia, first connected. In an April 2022 interview with The New York Post, Lindor explained how he first reached out to her on the social media platform.
Lindor sent her a message on Instagram and romance sparked. After three months of phone communication, he finally met her during spring training in Arizona, and they officially embarked on a relationship.
“We talked for three months and then I met her in Arizona ‘cause I was out there for spring training,” Lindor told the New York Post. “We just hung out and I was like, ‘I think she’s the One.’ At first, I was a little bit like, ‘Ahh, I don’t want to really commit,’ but I knew that she was the One.”
On Dec. 16, 2021, the couple exchanged vows in front of their loved ones in Miami. Then, on Nov. 4, 2020, they welcomed their first daughter, Kalina Zoé, who became famous on the internet after a video of her at her father’s news conference went viral. In June 2023, Amapola Chloé, their second daughter, was born.
Katia has a podcast named “The Un-a-Parent,” which she launched in 2022. While speaking about the podcast to People magazine, Katia said, “This podcast began as a means to share the unapparent truths of parenting; for parents and parents-to-be to feel seen, heard and understood by a community of fellow parents; for us all to feel like we are not alone in this journey.”
