Who is Jesús Montero's partner? Family details explored as former MLB catcher dies at 35

Jesús Montero, the former catcher in the major league who played with the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners, has died at the age of 35. He died on October 19, 2025, after a car crash on his motorbike in Valencia, Venezuela. Reports indicate that Montero was involved in a motorcycle crash on October 4 with a pick-up truck, and he was in a coma (two weeks) before he died of injuries sustained in the accident.

The abrupt death of Jesús Montero has highlighted his personal life, particularly his long-time relationship with Taneth Gimenez and the two children. Giménez is a Venezuelan fitness model and influencer who frequently addresses the topic of her family and the difficulties experienced by her children. However, even being separated, she was still a significant part of the life of Montero and helped him achieve his highs and lows.

Taneth Giménez: Jesús Montero’s longtime partner

Taneth Giménez is a Venezuelan fitness model, influencer, and entrepreneur from Barquisimeto. She has developed a high presence in the online platform through marketing health, wellness, and fitness practices. During the years, she has collaborated with several brands and has posted messages on her social media platforms about family and parenting.

Gimenez and Jesús Montero had a long-term relationship that started a few years before he departed from the baseball game. According to a report in the NY Post published on October 19, 2025, it indicates that Taneth was the ex-wife of Montero, but then there are reports that they were not married, and they had a close relationship. Later, they parted ways but still maintain a friendly relationship in the interest of their children.

When Montero died, Giménez wrote a touching tribute on Instagram, putting up pictures of Montero and their children. She thanked her in the message of her good memories and assured her that she would continue to remember him to their children.

Giménez and Jesús Montero used to be co-parents even after the fight. Taneth is currently residing in Miami Beach, Florida, where she is raising the children and is still pursuing her career as a fitness influencer and trainer. She regularly posts about her children, and she takes pride in their development and their everyday activities.
