Giants star breaks silence on bombshell 'abuse' and 'affairs' claims
Share and Follow

San Francisco Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle has spoken out for the first time after his wife accused him of abuse and infidelity in a stunning social media post.

Caroline Hjelle posted a short clip of herself and her two sons on TikTok, sharing a series of bombshell allegations against her 28-year-old husband, a professional baseball player.

Until now, Sean himself had stayed quiet, but he spoke to reporters on Saturday to shed more light on the situation.

‘I don’t have an official comment right now,’ Hjelle said. ‘I would like to talk to my agent, my lawyer. This has been something that has been going on for over a year now in terms of our relationship, our divorce, our separation and everything. 

‘I don’t have any official comment right now, I just want to talk to the appropriate people to figure out what the steps are. I’m just taking it in stride right now. No official comment right now. 

‘I feel confident saying that I will have one eventually. I don’t have an exact timeline on that, but I would like to actually get with the people that are handling the situation with me and for me before I actually make an official statement.’

It also emerged on Saturday night that MLB has launched an investigation into the allegations, and the Giants have confirmed they are ‘aware of these serious allegations’.  

Until the conclusion of the probe, Hjelle is expected to be available to pitch for the Giants – though he did not leave the bullpen on Saturday night.

On TikTok, Caroline wrote on Friday: ‘When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers (sic) Day a week after this once I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse so I’ve been raising two boys alone.’

Her TikTok post shows Caroline’s two sons both wearing t-shirts emblazoned with a drawing of their family. A tall baseball player (Sean is 6-foot-11) is pictured holding hands with a blonde woman and two boys. His No. 64 is also visible on the t-shirts. 

Caroline did not immediately respond to Daily Mail’s request for comment. 

The couple was married in November of 2021 at a private ceremony in Richmond, Virginia, where their eldest son served as a ringbearer, according to Richmond.com. 

Since then, Caroline has become a regular on TikTok, where she gave a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a Major League Baseball family. Her posts have frequently focused on her husband’s career and his extraordinary height.

‘And we are Giants,’ she captioned one clip in a reference to her towering husband and his employer.

In other clips, Caroline jokes about her growing sons, referring to them as ‘7 foot toddlers.’

Fans offered an outpouring of sympathy on TikTok in addition to a few critiques about Sean’s performance in Friday’s loss to the visiting Boston Red Sox.

‘He just gave up a home run like 30 seconds ago!’ wrote one Giants fan on TikTok, referring to a sixth-inning bomb from Boston’s Ceddanne Rafaela.

Other responses were more relevant to the allegations of infidelity and abuse.

‘Let’s normalize calling cheaters out regardless of who they are — I’m so sorry,’ one person wrote. ‘You and your babies are so cute.’

One woman offered a pathway to a divorce.

‘Be the first to file girlfriend,’ she wrote. ‘I just got to our final judgement after a year and a half battle – sole custody and can finally move on with our lives. It was hard but worth it.’

A native of Fridley, Minnesota, Sean was the Southeastern Conference’s Pitcher of the Year at the University of Kentucky in 2017. He would go on to be drafted by the Giants in the second round of the 2018 MLB Draft, but struggled in the minors for several years. 

This season, Hjelle pitched well enough at Triple-A Sacramento to get a call up to San Francisco, where he’s posted a mediocre 4.66 earned-run average while walking as many batters as he’s struck out.
