Jonathan Aranda had a stellar night at the plate during the Tampa Bay Rays’ win against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. He hit two solo home runs as the Rays wrapped a comfortable 6-2 win at home at Tropicana Field.
Off the field, Aranda’s wife, Milka, was seen taking in all the beach vibes in Florida. She wore a seaweed swimwear top over jeans shorts. She stood in front of a picturesque view of the ocean.

Milka was greeted in the comments by Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr.’s wife, Maria, who complimented her friend in Spanish.
While Aranda and Acuna have never shared a clubhouse, both couples spent time together during the 2025 All-Star Game. Since then, they have formed a close bond, often cheering each other up on social media.
