Cody Bellinger and his wife Chase Carter have never confirmed how and when they met. The couple took their romance public in the fall of 2020. At the time, Bellinger was based in Los Angeles while he played for the Dodgers. Carter, for her part, has lived and worked all over the world. Born in the Bahamas, she was discovered by a modeling agency in the Sydney airport when she was 13 years old.

In 2018, she was named a Sports Illustrated rookie in their annual Swimsuit Issue.

We can trace Cody Bellinger and Chase Carter's relationship back to October 2020. The couple made their romance IG-official right before the start of the World Series between the Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Rays. Carter posted a slideshow of photos showing her kissing her boyfriend between a fence inside the stadium, writing simply, "My ❤️."
Bellinger's team would go on to win the championship in six games. Then, one month after the game, Bellinger underwent shoulder surgery—and his girlfriend appeared in an Instagram photo he shared post-op. "Gangs all here," he captioned the snap.

December 2023: Cody Bellinger and Chase Carter Tease Secret Wedding
Before the end of 2023, Cody Bellinger and Chase Carter appeared to tease a secret wedding. In a photo the model shared on December 2, they can be seen with their arms wrapped around each other, with both wearing rings on their left hands. The comments were flooded with congratulations and well-wishes from followers and friends, including Bellinger's former teammate Corey Seager's wife, Madisyn. The model also changed her last name from "Carter" to "Bellinger" on her Instagram profile, indicating that they did elope or exchange vows privately.
All About Cody Bellinger and Chase Carter's Children
Despite racking up an impressive collection of accolades early in his career, including an MVP title, a World Series win, and two Silver Slugger awards, Cody Bellinger maintains that his family is his greatest achievement. A proud girl dad to Caiden and Cy, the athlete's daughters often accompany their mom to support him at his games.
"I think being a good dad trumps all. Everyone says being a dad is the most important thing," he told People ahead of the birth of his first daughter. "I won't know until I have the baby in my hand, you know what I mean? My girlfriend feels it; she's growing in her stomach so she has that connection with it. I'm just there for the support, making sure she feels alright. Once she's in my hand, then that'll be completely different."
Cody Bellinger and Chase Carter Wedding Predictions
Although it appears that Cody Bellinger and Chase Carter may have already exchanged vows, we wouldn't be surprised if the couple hosts a larger wedding celebration with their loved ones. Given Carter's ties to the Bahamas, we predict the couple may invite their closest family and friends (and MLB teammates) to a destination wedding in the Caribbean.
Beyond having their daughters serve as flower girls, there's a good chance the couple's dog Junior—who Bellinger once lovingly referred to as "my first born son"—will have a role in the ceremony too. Considering the 2024 MLB season just kicked off, fans will have to wait and see if Chase Carter and Cody Bellinger host a second wedding in the fall once his playing schedule wraps up.
