Sean Patrick Gilmartin was born in August, 1990, in Thousand Oaks, California.
In 2011, Gilmartin, a left-handed pitcher, was selected by the Atlanta Braves as the 28th overall pick in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft.
“Sean is a quality left-handed pitcher with great make-up and excellent pitchability,” Braves scouting director Tony DeMacio told the Orlando Sentinel at the time. “We think he’ll move fast through our system and we are real happy to get him.”
Gilmartin signed for the Braves despite teams such as the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay Rays also vying for him, per batterypower.com.
Gilmartin went on to play for the Rays, Baltimore Orioles and Mets during his career.
He retired from the sport during the 2021-22 off-season, per the US Sun.
He’s turned to hunting

He is supportive of his wife’s work

McEnany and Gilmartin began dating in 2015 and married two years later. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Blake, in 2019 and son Nash in 2022.
Gilmartin, who leads a more low-key life than his partner, refrains from sharing too much personal information on social media. However, he does occasionally show his support for his wife by promoting her books.
In May 2023, Gilmartin posed on Instagram with McEnany’s book, Serenity in the Storm: Living Through Chaos by Leaning on Christ.
“My wife @kayleighmcenany has a new book that is available today wherever books are sold! During these uncertain times, let this book be your guide to trusting God and finding serenity in your own ‘storm’,” he wrote.
