Chicago just had a day filled with emotions – this time not from a home run or a spectacular defensive play, but from extremely surprising breaking news: Matt Shaw, the shining gem of the Chicago Cubs and one of the most promising young talents in the NL Central, has officially married his longtime partner Danielle Shaw.
It’s not just a personal happy news – but also a love story that exploded on social media, making Cubs Nation emotional when witnessing the image of the couple standing next to each other in a warm, simple but splendid wedding ceremony like a movie.
For Matt Shaw, 23, who has just exploded in the Cubs and become one of the most notable faces of the new generation of talent, this wedding day is described by fans as “the sweetest walk-off of his life”.
Shaw and Danielle met during their college years, when he was not yet a Big Ten star or a top prospect for the Cubs. She was always by his side during his peak days, and also when he was doubted, injured or stressed by the pressure of competition.
Cubs fans are all too familiar with the image of Danielle appearing in the stands, always carrying a warm smile and Shaw’s jersey number 7 – a symbol of absolute companionship. And now, that love has officially entered its most beautiful chapter.
Although held discreetly in the style of a private wedding, Matt Shaw and Danielle’s wedding still created a rare explosive effect in the Cubs community. There was no lavish stage or “showbiz” guests, but the atmosphere was filled with moments that made anyone choke up. The image of Matt shedding tears when Danielle walked down the aisle quickly became the center of attention, and their vows – according to the guests – “made the whole room hold its breath for a few seconds”. It was not the wedding of a baseball star, but the wedding of two souls who had been connected since the days before they were famous.
Danielle is not someone who appears much in the media, but she is a big influence in Matt Shaw’s life.
She is the one who helps him maintain a balance between fame and personal life, the one who always reminds him:
“Baseball is work. Family is forever.”
In his speech at the wedding, Shaw shared:
“All success on the field is meaningless without you behind it.”
This quote immediately spread throughout the Cubs community and became the “quote of the day” on MLB Fanpage.
Immediately after the news was confirmed, the Chicago Cubs sent an official congratulatory message: “From the future of the franchise… to husband. Congratulations, Matt & Danielle!” That short but proud caption made fans explode with emotion. Shaw’s teammates also left loving messages: “Proud of you”, “See you at Spring Training”, “Don’t forget to bring the ring to the locker room”. In just a few hours, Cubs Nation filled social media with wishes, wedding photos, and fan-made videos – making Shaw’s wedding the most sensational personal event of the team since the beginning of the year.
Matt Shaw is entering the most important stage of his career – a rising young talent, expected to become a Cubs mainstay in the future.
And now, he enters the new season not only with a glove and a bat, but also with a peaceful home named Danielle.

“If the Cubs needed a new boost, they have it: a happy groom, an inspired heart.”
