Kristen Edman and Tommy Edman’s Relationship

Tommy Edman grew up in San Diego, graduated from high school in 2013, and attended Stanford University before being selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2016 MLB draft. While dreaming of the World Series, Edman’s Stanford teammate set him up with a childhood family friend. That girl was Kristen.

They have been together since January 2017. Tommy and Kristen announced their engagement in December 2018.

The couple had an October 2019 wedding planned and organized. Then Tommy got the biggest opportunity of his career. The Cardinals were moving up in the 2019 National League Division Series.

“When we first got engaged (in December), it was originally planned to be in October. But once I got the call-up and there was the potential for us to go to playoffs, I started to think, ‘Hey, maybe we’re going to have to get this changed in case we go to playoffs and I’m not able to go to my own wedding!’ So there was a sacrifice made by my fiancée and her family, which I really appreciate. We ended up settling on November, after the World Series is over. So that’ll give us the chance to win the World Series and then I’ll get married a couple weeks later,” recalled Tommy.
