Phillies' Nick Castellanos and Wife Jess Welcome New Child
During the Philadelphia Phillies' most recent playoff runs, there has been one constant in the stands that Phillies fans have loved watching. It's been the reaction of Nick Castellanos' son Liam reacting to his father and the Phillies.
Michelle Castellanos posted on Twitter/X that Nick and his wife Jess Castellanos welcomed their latest child into their family. She posted: "God has blessed us. Our newest angel has arrived. Mom and baby are doing well."
The newest member of the Castellanos family joins Liam and Otto as Nick and Jess's children. The Phillies had an off-day on Thursday, May 15, which provided great timing for the Castellanos family, allowing Nick to show up without any conflicts of interest.

The Phillies fandom has embraced Castellanos since he signed a five-year deal worth $100 million. The 33-year-old has played just over three years in Philadelphia, but has made his mark on the city.
One of the ways the Castellanos family has had an impact on the city has been the bond between Nick and Liam. During various Phillies' games over the past three seasons, Liam could be spotted int he stands cheering his father on. During the Phillies NLDS series against the New York Mets, the two shared a special moment after Nick hit a walk-off.
The bond the two share has warmed the hearts of Phillies fans, and led to the city fully embracing the Castellanos family. Philadelphia has supported the Castellanos family from the moment they arrived in the city, and the interaction Castellanos has with his family is a major catalyst for that support.

Blind date: ‘I learned that he spent the weekend breathing fire — literally'
NICK S.: 27 / software engineer His interests: Board games, mixology, and fire breathing, the performance art that deals with the manipulation of flames What makes him a catch: He's willing to try new things. 7 p.m. Gustazo Cuban Kitchen & Bar, Cambridge Initial Igniting Rielly My best friend reads this section of The Boston Globe and we finally agreed to fill out the application. Nick I had vaguely heard about this column before from friends/parents. This seemed like a fun excuse to try a new restaurant. Rielly I got ready and tried not to think about what I was doing. I was nervous but excited. Advertisement Nick I played some Rielly He was early, I was right on time. [He wore] glasses and a fun patterned button-up shirt. Looked like he put some effort into the outfit, which is always appreciated. Nick Rielly was wearing a fun white shirt that had little white tassels, and looked nice and put-together with her jeans, straight hair, and smile. Low Flame Rielly We talked about his hobby/passion of mixology and what drinks would be the best, and about how we both got in this situation. I learned that he spent the weekend breathing fire — literally [as a participant at a fire arts convention]. Nick I learned that her father also asks the waiter/waitress for what they recommend on the menu, and we used the waiter's recommendations paired with our tastes to pick tapas to split. Advertisement Rielly We talked about our careers, backgrounds, hobbies, travel, etc. He is adventurous, busy, and very intelligent. Nick We talked about life, hobbies, and family. I learned about her recent trip to Europe. Rielly We ordered a few tapas and a shared larger plate. We both got cocktails. Nick We split cauliflower, ham and cheese croquettes, empanadas, ribs, and ropa vieja. The tapas were fantastic. Overall one of the better restaurants I've been to in Boston. Rielly I definitely got more comfortable as the date went on. He was easy to talk to and asked plenty of questions. I got a sense of maturity with personality/humor. Overall, the conversation flowed pretty easily. Nick Rielly is a genuine and kind person who was an active listener, which made the conversation flow smoothly throughout the night. Our views on how to experience life stood out the most to me. Warm Vibes Rielly We were there for about 2½ hours. I was ready to head home. Nick The restaurant was closing up so we meandered outside while waiting for her Uber. Rielly He waited with me, which was appreciated. We hugged goodbye. There was not a kissing vibe. Nick I feel like [a hug is] generally appropriate for a date that went well but there wasn't a particularly strong romantic attraction. Second Date? Rielly I am not sure. Nick Probably. I rarely feel a strong romantic attraction to someone on a first date, and find the second/third dates to be more telling. Advertisement Grading the Date Rielly / B+ Nick / A- Go on a blind date. We'll pick up the tab. Fill out an application at . Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @dinnerwithcupid.
