Joey Votto is an MLB star but he is not gay, despite some wild rumours

Joey Votto, an award-winning MLB player, also enjoys an active private life and recently took time off baseball due to stress and depression. His relationship with Jeanne Paulus, a dental hygienist located in Sarasota Florida since 2013, remains strong.

Rumors regarding Joey being gay were completely false, as he is in a stable, heterosexual relationship with his current partner.

Joey Votto is not gay

Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds has been plagued with unfounded rumours regarding his sexual orientation. These have been spread online by internet trolls; Votto himself is not gay and has a partner living in Canada named Jeanne Paulus whom they’ve been with for nearly 10 years.

At a recent press conference, the baseball player addressed these rumours directly. He explained that his brief hiatus was due to stress-induced depression and anxiety; further discussing both family life as well as professional pursuit.

Though he had his challenges, the first baseman has made an incredible comeback to professional baseball and continues to show great passion and dedication towards his sport. Fans and supporters must respect his privacy when discussing his personal life; speculation on his sexual orientation should not cause undue stress for him; furthermore, it would be inappropriate to discuss someone’s sexual orientation without their prior consent.

Joey Votto is one of the most interesting characters in baseball. While he calls himself an introvert, he is great at chess and has been seen in Toronto trying his luck at tournaments. He also became an American citizen recently and has picked up a lot of hobbies over the years. 

He is in a relationship with Jeanne Paulus

Joey Votto remains quiet about his personal life despite his success in baseball, yet media sources have reported that he and Jeanne Paulus are in a relationship of over nine years, having met in Sarasota Florida while living there – where Jeanne Paulus operates her own dental hygienist business.

She is also an active philanthropist, organizing several TikTok challenges with family and friends as part of her charitable activities. Additionally, she has won multiple awards for her sports industry work. The pair don’t seem to be married but have been together for a long time. 

He is not married

Joey Votto, as a professional athlete, often receives much speculation regarding his personal life – including speculation on his sexuality. A six-time MLB All-Star and recipient of several awards such as Tip O’Neill Award and Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada’s Athlete of the Year respectively, Joey is no stranger to public scrutiny regarding his life choices, such as questions over sexuality.

In 2009, he temporarily suspended his baseball career due to stress-related issues, prompting rumours he may be gay; these speculations proved false; in reality, his brief hiatus was caused by grief over his father’s death and depression.

He is currently dating Jeanne Paulus, an entrepreneurial Canadian-American and workout instructor residing in Canada. They maintain a private relationship that rarely posts about it on social media platforms like Facebook, but are often seen together in public.
