Starling Marte celebrates wedding with some risque dance moves



Starling Marte danced like no one was watching at his wedding.

The New York Mets outfielder tied the knot with his fiancée, Elianny Santana, in his native Dominican Republic, where the newlyweds were seen bumping and grinding on the dance floor in videos he reposted on his Instagram Story recently.

Marte got low to the ground and shook his hips, while Santana had her arms around his neck while at the reception, which took place at El Embajador, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, in Santo Domingo.

The 35-year-old Marte then lifted up his shirt as the guests nearby cheered him on.

Marte and Santana, who got engaged in August, shared a kiss in one photo captioned, “Mi amarro.”

Other videos featured multiple musicians, dancers and performers, including a band, at the reception.

Some MLB fans joked that Marte’s groin seems to be healed after seeing his dance moves.

Last month, The Post’s Mike Puma reported that Marte won’t need groin surgery in the offseason after he was sidelined with a groin strain at the end of the season.

The couple was seen dancing together as white confetti fell from the ceiling, and leading a conga line and limbo.

The reception featured white and pink flowers and strobe lights.

Guests were also given glow sticks, hats and masks as accessories during the celebration.

Fellow Dominican outfielder Gregory Polanco, who currently plays for the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball, attended the wedding with his partner, according to photos on social media.

Mel Rojas Jr., an outfielder for the KT Wiz of the KBO League, was also in attendance.

Marte revealed his engagement to Santana in August 2023.

“She said yes,” he wrote on Instagram at the time, including a photo of her stunning oval-cut diamond ring.

It came nearly three years after Marte announced on social media that his wife Noelia Brazoban died of a heart attack at age 32 in May 2020.

They shared three kids together, sons Starling Jr. and Smerling and daughter Tiana.

Marte grew up in Villa Mella, which is part of the greater Santo Domingo metropolitan area, where he met Brazoban, according to MLB.com.

Marte won consecutive Gold Gloves in 2015 and ’16, and was named to the National League All-Star team that season.

He made his MLB debut in 2012 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and went on to play for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Miami Marlins and Oakland Athletics.

Marte signed a four-year contract, worth $78 million with the Mets in November 2021.

He made the All-Star team in 2022.
