The 2016 World Series MVP hoped to enter a “marriage dissolution agreement and permanent parenting plan” or have a judge order them to be legally separated, the newspaper reported, citing the filing.
Zobrist’s wife, Julianna, filed for divorce Monday in Cook County, Ill., the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Julianna reportedly cited “irreconcilable differences.”
Julianna Zobrist is a professional singer. She has sung the national anthem at several Cubs games in the past and performed “God Bless America” before a 2016 World Series game at Wrigley Field, according to the Sun-Times.
