    As of now, Melissa is yet to reveal the identity of both her biological parents and adoptive parents. Their occupation and the existence of a sibling is further not known. Moreover, not much else is known about her except the fact that she was an adopted child.

    Despite having been exposed to the limelight for over two decades, Melissa has kept her private life away from the media and the public and as such, she is yet to reveal her educational background. However, reports have it that she attended high school and completed her college education at a university in America.

    Melissa Griffey Married Ken Griffey Jr. on October 24, 1992

    Melissa Griffey met Ken Griffey Jr at an alcohol-free dance club during Ken’s rookie year. At the time, he was well on his path to building a name for himself. According to reports, the couple began dating in the early 1990s after which they eventually exchanged marriage vows on October 24, 1992.

    Melissa has been an incredible support system for her husband who has had a tough career. He attempted suicide at the age of 18 when his relationship with his father and his teammates out on the field has taken a downward turn. He later developed depression caused by the pressure of living at the center of attention and his father’s expectations. Years later in 2007, he was diagnosed with Pleurisy, a health condition that causes the lining of the lungs to become inflamed, resulting in significant pain.

    His poor medical condition affected his performance on the field and this led to a lot of backlash from fans and teammates. Melissa stood by her husband’s side until he decided to retire in 2011. Ken has since received wide recognition for his accomplishments as he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Currently, the couple is enjoying a lavish lifestyle while residing in Winter Garden, Florida near Orlando.

    Melissa’s over two decades of marital relationship with Ken Griffey Jr. has been blessed with three children. Two of them were biologically birthed by Melissa and Ken while their last child was adopted. It is reported that Melissa’s adoption inspired her to adopt one of her own.

    The couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Ken “Trey” Griffey III, on January 19, 1994. Like his father, Trey is also an athlete but unlike his father, he is a dual-sport athlete. After his collegiate football career as a wide receiver for Arizona University, he went on to the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad in the NFL. He is currently a member of the Seattle Mariners Low-A Affiliate the Modesto Nuts.

    Almost two years after the birth of their first child, the couple welcomed another addition to the family, a baby daughter named Taryn Kennedy on October 21, 1995. Taryn Kennedy also inherited the athletic gene from her father as she played basketball for Arizona University. Unfortunately, her promising basketball career was cut short due to an injury she suffered.

    The couple’s third child is an adopted boy named Tevin Kendall Griffey birthed on May 5, 2002. Tevin plays as a cornerback for Florida A&M University, a Northern Florida HBCU. He was a wide receiver in the National Football League between 2017-2019.
