Miguel Cabrera’s Marriage Officially Over After Eight-Year Wait
Let’s dispense with pleasantries and get right to the heart of the matter. Veteran MLB slugger Miguel Cabrera and his wife, Rosangel Cabrera, have officially ended their more than two-decade-long marriage, with the final decree signed by a judge on June 18, 2025. This development comes after Rosangel submitted a second divorce filing on May 14, citing an “irretrievably broken” marriage—a decision that marks closure after an initial attempt nearly eight years ago.
Court documents obtained by TMZ Sports confirm that Rosangel first filed for divorce in March 2017, just before Miguel’s season with the Detroit Tigers was set to begin. In that initial petition, she did not specify reasons but later withdrew the request, suggesting reconciliation talks or private negotiations yielded a temporary truce. Both parties subsequently formalized marital settlement and postnuptial agreements in 2017, which Rosangel asked the court to honor in her latest filing.
According to public records, the postnuptial agreement addressed division of assets and spousal support, though specific financial terms remain sealed. In her 2025 documents, Rosangel requested the court’s approval of these same agreements, indicating that both parties had already settled on key stipulations years ago. Miguel Cabrera’s attorney submitted paperwork shortly after Rosangel’s petition—effectively removing any legal obstacles—and a judge entered the final judgment of divorce less than five weeks later.
Sources close to the couple tell People Magazine that tensions had been simmering behind the scenes for some time, despite the high-profile athlete’s efforts to maintain a united front. Interviews with unnamed friends published by ESPN suggest that distance and career pressures contributed to an irreversible rift. Neither party has publicly commented, and Rosangel’s attorney declined to offer further details when contacted.
The Cabreras first married in 2002 in Venezuela, and they share two daughters. Throughout Miguel’s storied career—highlighted by multiple batting titles and MVP honors—the couple was often photographed together at games and charity events. Yet, as this divorce illustrates, even the most celebrated athletic unions can face prolonged struggles.
What’s next for Miguel’s personal life or Rosangel’s future plans? Only time will tell whether either will remarry or pursue new ventures solo. And that’s the full count. You decide what’s next.
