She is a dog mom

The Alonsos are proud parents to a French bulldog named Brody.The dog’s original name was Brady, but Pete toldESPN’s Tim Kurkjian in 2020 that because Haley was from Boston, she knew too many dogs named Brady, so they altered the moniker slightly. (The Mets general manager at the time was Brodie Van Wagenen, but that was just a coincidence.)

Brody briefly had his ownInstagram account, and his profile stated that he was a mix between a bat, a bunny, a piglet and ET.

The couple have also supported animal-related causes. In 2023, they helped sponsor a Labrador retriever named Bear, who was a service dog in training withK9s for Warriors. Bear, one of the dogs K9s for Warriors rescued from high-kill shelters, joined Pete at spring training in Port St. Lucie and will become a vet at risk’s service dog once done with his training.
