Who is Bobby Witt Jr’s new wife Maggie Black? The Kansas City Royals shortstop’s ‘lifetime person’ played college softball and is a fitness trainer as well as an influencer for Kate Hudson’s Fabletics
In high school days, a smitten Witt tracked down Black’s schedule and transferred into one of her classes to be near her – after dating for years, the pair got married this month

The classic Southern fast food chain has long played a part in the couple’s relationship – they used to hang out at the restaurant after games during their high school days and Witt is now a brand ambassador. Guests also sported “Let’s Get Witty” hats as they danced the night away, according to the New York Post. “Our goal was to throw the party of the year,” Black told People.
But what do we know about the bride, Maggie Black, who Witt called “my lifetime person and best friend” in an interview with People? Read on to find out.
