Yankees fans are buzzing with excitement as news of Giancarlo Stanton’s new romance with hospitality worker Asiana Jayd Hung-Barnes hits the headlines. The 31-year-old slugger, known for his powerful hitting on the field, seems to have found love off the field with the 27-year-old beauty.
Sources close to the couple reveal that Asiana has been “tagging along” with Stanton during the MLB season, supporting him from the sidelines and cheering him on during his games. The pair have been spotted together at various events, sparking rumors of a budding romance between the two.
While some fans may be surprised by the news, those who know Stanton best say that he is a hopeless romantic at heart. Despite his tough exterior on the field, the $325 million athlete has always been a softie when it comes to matters of the heart.
Page Six says Stanton, 34, has been dating Asiana Jayd Hung-Barnes, who is from New Jersey, since 2022.
The 27-year-old has recently deleted her TikTok and Instagram but the publication claims she has previously posted numerous snaps hinting at a ‘sneaky link’ with Stanton – a slang term for a ‘situationship’.
She is apparently ‘tagging along during the baseball season, staying in fancy hotel suites that he discreetly books for her.’
Page Six says Hung-Barnes stayed at the Four Seasons in Baltimore in April, booked for by Stanton, while the Yankees played the Orioles – a four-game series that the team lost 3-1.
Stanton was poor in that stretch – like the rest of his team – but has otherwise played very well for the Yankees this season after struggling last year.
He’s hit 13 home runs so far – the ninth highest in MLB – and has an average of .230 with his RBI tally at 29 in a rejuvenated offensive lineup following the offseason arrival of Juan Soto.
Hung-Barnes was also apparently in Florida in February, where the Yankees held spring training in preparation for the 2024 season.
Page Six also quotes a source as saying that Stanton might feel uncomfortable with how much Hung-Barnes has been sharing of their romance on social media before she deleted two of her platforms.
‘Giancarlo doesn’t like his business being out there but AJ is reckless on social media,’ a second source was quoted by Page Six as saying.
The report also claims that Stanton prefers to use Snapchat to talk to romantic pursuits ‘because it’s such a private app.’
As Stanton continues to dominate the game with his powerful hits, he has found a new source of strength and support in Asiana. Together, they make a formidable pair, both in love and in life. Fans can’t wait to see what the future holds for this new power couple in the world of baseball romance.
