New York Mets' Francisco Lindor Welcomes Third Child, Son Koa Amani

The Lindor family shared their happy news with a sweet Instagram photo showing baby Koa Amani sleeping soundly, wrapped in a blue blanket on a knit blanket featuring a rainbow and animals. The caption simply read, "Koa Amani 🌳."

This marks the third child for Francisco and Katia, who also share daughters Kalina Zoé (born November 2020) and Amapola Chloé (born June 2023). The couple first announced they were expecting their third child back in December with a family maternity photoshoot shared on Instagram, captioned, "All eyes on you, little one. Party of 5 coming soon. 🤗."

Francisco and Katia's relationship began on Instagram. Lindor messaged Katia after seeing her photo, leading to three months of conversation before meeting in person during spring training. He felt she was "the one," and they married on December 16, 2021, in Miami, Florida.

The baby's arrival led to Lindor being out of the Mets' starting lineup for the March 31st game against the Miami Marlins. This followed a challenging opening series where Lindor went 0-for-11. Despite the timing, Lindor dismissed any connection between his performance and the baby's impending arrival, stating, “There was no baby last year, and I was in the same spot... This is not my kid’s fault. This is not my wife’s fault. I own up to it. I didn’t get any hits.” Luisangel Acuna filled in at shortstop during Lindor's absence.

How many children do Francisco and Katia Lindor have now?

Yes, he was out of the lineup for the Mets' game on March 31, 2025, following the birth of his son.
