Sean Hjelle, best known as a pitcher for the MLB’s San Francisco Giants, was slapped by startling allegations in June 2025 by his wife, Caroline Hjelle, who claimed on TikTok that he’d been cheating on her. She additionally claimed he had abused her but did not specify how.
“When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers (sic) Day a week after this once I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse so I’ve been raising two boys alone [sic],” Caroline wrote across her TikTok video, which featured her kids. She captioned the post, “Yeah I’ve had to be silent for too long about this” and added the hashtags “divorce,” “cheating” and “single mom.”
Sean has not publicly commented on Caroline’s claims at the time of publication.
