The visit coincides with the start of the 2025 Major League Baseball season, and Hunt – who is a fan of the LA Dodgers – couldn’t be more excited.

“In just a few hours the Chicago @cubs will play my @dodgers in Tokyo in the first game of the 2025 season,” she added. “Let’s go Dodgers. But my goodness the Cubs are epic and this stadium is a work of art.”

Hunt and Nordling – who both starred in the 1988 TV movie Shooter – are massive baseball fans with the duo regularly attending games together.

For Nordling’s 63rd birthday earlier this month, Hunt shared a photo of them at yet another baseball game with her rocking her trusty LA Dodgers cap, while he sported merch from his team, the New York Mets.

Hunt, who was first romantically linked to the actor in 2022, kept her caption simple and sweet, writing, “Happy Birthday Darling."’
