How long have they been together?
It is not officially known when the pair started dating, although Arencibia previously hinted at their first date being sometime in January.
Taking to Instagram in March, the MLB player wrote: “11 weeks ago today we agreed to meet up for dinner. Now I can’t imagine what a day would be like without you.
“You are an amazing woman who pushes me to be better everyday. I am so proud of you and even more thankful to call you mine. My best friend. My ride or die. I love you Tomi. @tomilahren.”
The pair went on to debut their relationship on the social media platform in February as Lahren revealed they went on a road trip together from Miami to Nashville for a work commitment.
Before her relationship with Arencibia, Lahren was engaged to Brandon Fricke, a former congressional candidate for California’s 33rd district.
The pair announced their engagement in June 2019 but less than a year later, the Daily Mail reported in April 2020 they had gone their separate ways in February of that year.
