Maria Laborde, the wife of Atlanta Braves superstar outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., is originally from Venezuela. Growing up in her home country, she built a successful career as a professional fashion model, working with prominent international brands before meeting Acuña through mutual friends. Due to visa constraints and international travel regulations, the couple navigated periods of long-distance separation before ultimately getting married and establishing their permanent family life together in the United States. Maria now splits her time between supporting her husband during the grueling Major League Baseball season in Atlanta and maintaining her deep cultural and familial ties to her homeland in South America.
