After a false alarm earlier this summer, it appears that Blue Jays star infielder Ernie Clement is engaged.

Clement is getting married to girlfriend Stefanie Brejcha, according to Faith Reilly, the wife of Clement’s pal and ex-roommate, former Jay Joey Loperfido. Reilly revealed on an Instagram story that Brejcha was showing her the ring Clement gave her.

Loperfido was traded back to the Houston Astros in the off-season, but the gang clearly remains close.

Rumours had popped up in May that Clement and Brejcha had gotten engaged, but it seems were just a bit early.

Clement’s rise is one of the better recent stories in baseball. The 30-year-old native of Rochester, N.Y., went from a fourth-round Cleveland draft pick to being cut by the team and later the Oakland Athletics, before being signed by the Blue Jays in 2023 with limited expectations.

A torrid 59-game stretch that season earned Clement a bigger look and he became a key part of Toronto’s stunning 2025 season, which came agonizingly short of a World Series championship.

Another shocker occurred when Clement earned more than three million votes earlier this season, leading all American League players and booking Clement a trip to the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

Clement, one of the best fielders in the league in 2025, made two strong defensive plays in the All-Star Game.

Clement said in an interview with MLB Network four months ago that Brejcha has gotten him into an enjoyable hobby away from the field — reading.

“My girlfriend just got me into reading, so that’s a little bit different,” Clement said. “I used to just love golf,” he said.

“She’s the best. You know it’s a special girl when she puts a book in your hands and you listen.”
