Kris Bryant Bio, Age

Kristopher Lee Bryant was born on January 4, 1992, in Las Vegas, Nevada, into a family of athletes. His father, Mike, played minor league baseball for the Boston Red Sox. Following in his father’s footsteps, Bryant became interested in baseball at a very early age and his father gave him his full support.

In fact, Bryant’s father had to sell his patio furniture business and took a less demanding job just so he could coach Bryant. As a boy, Byrant played baseball with his Las Vegas roommates and future MLB colleagues Bryce Harper and Joey Gallo.

Kris Bryant impressed so much in high school that the Toronto Blue Jays voted him into the 18th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft. However, Bryant refused to sign and instead chose to go to college, where he played for the University of San Diego Toreros baseball team. In college, Bryant broke many records and won many awards, making him one of the best players available for the 2013 MLB Draft.

It is well known that many sports stars in the world jump from one genetically blessed woman to another, but Kris Bryant is one of the few who has managed to hold on to a woman for years.

In his very first season in the MLB, Bryant made sure to fend off the ladies after declaring in his very first MLB press conference that he had a girl in his life. This girl would later turn out to be a certain Jessica Delp, and they go back to their high school years.

Both were born in Las Vegas, met while attending Bonanza High School, and started dating at the age of 15. Like himself, Bryant’s wife is a sports enthusiast who played both softball and basketball at Bonanza. They graduated together in 2010, and although choosing the college they wanted to go to meant that they would be separated for a while, it was okay for the couple to enter into a long-distance relationship.
