Giannina Altuve — more commonly known as “Nina Altuve” (per the tradition of Latin American individuals shortening their name) — is the wife of Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros, the presumptive favorite for the 2017 American League MVP award. Like her husband, Giannina hails from Venezuela — a big reason the two of them have been dating since they were teenagers (they describe themselves as high school sweethearts).
