At the time of writing, Julio Urías did not have a wife. However, the pitcher was in a rocky relationship with his girlfriend, Daisy Perez, which has seen the former Major League Baseball star face two arrests for domestic violence.

Julio Urías was only sixteen when he relocated to America for a promising baseball career. However, the pitcher was not even 30 when hopes of reaching his potential faded after he was arrested twice for domestic violence.

Julio Urías and his girlfriend, Daisy Perez, were believed to have been together for at least two years. Although she denied anything had happened during her boyfriend's first domestic violence arrest, the pitcher was arrested again in September 2023.

Julio Urías and His Girlfriend's Public Appearances

According to reports, Perez and Urías have known each other since at least 2019 and have been together since at least 2021. They made their first public appearance together when they visited Mexico's National Palace to meet the President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

It was reported that the Dodgers had removed Perez's boyfriend's locker.

On June 16, 2022, the couple attended the Dodgers Foundation's 6th Annual Blue Diamond Gala in Los Angeles together, and Perez was also Urías' date to the gala this year. Urias and Perez also briefly embraced in April after she threw the first pitch at an MLB game in the ongoing game season.

Julio Urías Was Arrested for Domestic Violence Twice

In 2019, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to reports of an incident in a parking lot, and witnesses told them they saw a man, later identified as Urías, shove a woman, who fell over. The woman was later revealed to be Perez.

Despite her and Urías alleging that the incident was only a verbal altercation, the pitcher was arrested after surveillance proved Urías had pushed the woman. The Dodgers said at the time:

"We learned about the alleged incident this morning and are in the process of gathering information. [...] The very allegation of domestic violence must be taken seriously and addressed promptly, and we will cooperate fully with the authorities and Major League Baseball to ensure that that happens in this case."

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred placed Urías on paid administrative leave following the incident. However, Urías was recently arrested on felony domestic violence charges again in September 2023, joining other celebrities accused of domestic abuse, such as Chris Brown and Jason Kidd.

What Happened to Julio Urías' Baseball Career Following His Recent Arrest?

On September 12, 2023, it was reported that the Dodgers had removed Perez's boyfriend's locker at their Los Angeles clubhouse following his domestic violence charges. The MLB team also covered up two murals featuring the pitcher. Urias was placed on indefinite administrative leave following his recent arrest.

When asked if the baseball club's actions confirmed they were moving on from Perez's boyfriend, the manager, Dave Roberts, shared, "I think so. That's where we're at. There's not much for me to comment on. It's just like I said on the first day. It's just it's a very, very unfortunate, sad situation."
