Tomi Lahren, known for her work as a political commentator and TV host, has been married to J. P. Arencibia for three years. Her husband, Arencibia, a former MLB catcher, is now part of the coaching staff for the Syracuse Mets.
Before settling down with him, Lahren went through a few complicated relationships. In June 2024, she spoke with Lauren and Michael Bosstick on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast and gave a rare look at her dating history. “I’ve dated celebrities in the past who didn’t want people to know that we were together because there would be a substantial amount of backlash,” she explained, without naming the star who asked her to keep quiet.
These days, life looks different. The marital relationship between Lahren and her hubby, Arencibia, is thriving. And they don’t hesitate to share snapshots of their bond online, giving followers a glimpse of their life as a husband and wife.

He went on to play for the Tennessee Volunteers before the Toronto Blue Jays picked him 21st overall in the 2007 MLB draft. Three years later, on August 7, 2010, he made his debut against the Tampa Bay Rays and became the first Blue Jay to open with four hits in a game.
Arencibia stayed with Toronto through 2013, then had stints with the Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays. By January 2017, he decided it was time to retire from playing.
Not long after, he shifted into broadcasting with Fox Sports Florida, joining as a Marlins studio analyst in February 2019.
In January 2023, he returned to the dugout as a bench coach for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets.
