With Bryce Harper playing for Team USA in the 2026 USA vs Mexico World Baseball Classic game, here's everything we know about the MLB star's wife, Kayla Harper, who is his biggest supporter.
Bryce Harper is a renowned American professional baseball player. When he was still in high school, he reportedly won Baseball America's High School Player of the Year award. At 17, Bryce enrolled at the College of Southern Nevada of the Scenic West Athletic Conference (SWAC), where he played as a catcher. After a successful college career, Bryce Harper turned pro when he was chosen as the first overall pick by the Washington Nationals in the 2010 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft.
Despite his history as a catcher, Bryce Harper played as an outfielder for the Nationals. Bryce remained with the Washington Nationals until 2018 and, after signing a 13-year, USD 330 million contract, joined the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2019 season. At present, Bryce Harper is part of the star-studded lineup of Team USA at the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Fans are most eager to see how he performs in the USA vs. Mexico match on Monday, March 9, 2026. Amid this, let's learn about his biggest supporter off the field, Bryce Harper's wife, Kayla Harper and their relationship.
Both Bryce Harper and his wife, Kayla Harper, are natives of Henderson, Nevada. If reports are to be believed, they were high school sweethearts, with Bryce attending Las Vegas High School and Kayla attending Green Valley High School. It is worth noting that although Bryce was already being recognised as the “LeBron James of baseball” when he was still a freshman, what attracted Kayla to him was that he is the most selfless guy ever. During a conversation with The Knot, Kayla revealed that Bryce is also super goofy and while the pranks he plays on her end up annoying her, she secretly loves it.
Similar to her then-boyfriend and now-husband, Bryce Harper, Kayla was also a decorated athlete during her high school and college years. To mention, she was the team MVP from 2009 to 2011 while attending Green Valley High School. Not only this, reports suggest that Kayla held the Nevada state record for career assists by the time she graduated high school in 2011. At the time, was a national All-American and had led her team to a state championship title.
When Bruce began his journey in the MLB, Kayla went on to play soccer at Brigham Young University during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. In her junior year, she transferred to Ohio State University and played soccer there until she graduated in 2015.
According to a report by the Washington Post, Bryce Harper proposed to Kayla back in 2014 while she was still attending Ohio State University. After getting engaged, the couple made their first public appearance at the Washington Nationals’ annual Dream Gala fundraiser in June 2014. Reportedly, Bryce's teammate at the time, Geo Gonzalez, called their engagement a “blessing”.
While Bryce and Kayla were set to tie the knot in January 2015, fans were left confused when their wedding never happened. Soon it became evident that they had broken up when they unfollowed each other on X (formerly Twitter) and even removed mentions of the other from their respective Instagram bios. Thankfully, their split did not last for long, and they reconciled by the end of 2015. Bryce and Kayla announced their engagement for the second time in July 2016. Sharing a photo of them attending the 2016 ESPY Awards, where Kayla can be seen sporting her engagement ring, she wrote on her Instagram:
“ESPYS last night with my love. So proud of you, B! Oh, and we're engaged…Again #The Sequel.”
Just six months after they got engaged for the second time, Bryan and Kayla got married on December 16, 2016. They kept their wedding ceremony private, with only their immediate family present, and held it at the San Diego Church of Latter-day Saints Temple. Later, Kayla and Bryce held a grand reception with nearly 270 guests at San Diego's Polo Fields. Interestingly, this was the same place that Kayla used to play soccer as a child.
Over the years of their marriage, Bryce Harper and Kayla Harper have welcomed four children together. Their first child, son, Krew Aron, was born on August 22, 2019. The next year, they welcomed their second child, Brooklyn Elizabeth, on November 12, 2020. Some reports online suggest that Brooklyn was named after her "grandmas". Bryce and Kayla expanded their family once again with the birth of their third child, daughter, Kamryn Ray, on April 22, 2024.
In April 2025, the pro MLB player revealed that he and Kayla were expecting their fourth child together. Finally, on October 5, 2025, Bryce and Kayla made a joint post on Instagram to share the happy news of the arrival of the latest member of their family, son, Hayes Three. They captioned the adorable photo of their baby boy:
“Decided to add more chaos to Red October-
Hayes Three Harper.”
