High-School Sweethearts Who Married in January 1999
Gabe Kapler and Lisa Jansen were high-school sweethearts who met in his senior year of high school. They married in January 1999, early in Kapler’s professional baseball career, and went on to have two sons, Chase Ty Kapler and Dane Rio Kapler.
During their marriage, they co-founded the Gabe Kapler Foundation, a past joint project dedicated to domestic-violence education and support, including helping women escape abusive relationships.
The Divorce in 2013
After 14 years of marriage, Kapler and Jansen divorced in 2013. Kapler filed for divorce in October 2013, ending a marriage that had begun in January 1999.
TMZ reported that Kapler, who was representing himself, checked boxes in the filing asking for his former name to be restored — entering “Jansen,” his wife’s maiden name — and for spousal support; TMZ later reported that Kapler confirmed the entries were a clerical error.
At the time, TMZ quoted Kapler as saying that he and Lisa were best friends and would care for each other beautifully through a difficult time. That was the position reported in 2013, and it should not be read as a description of their relationship today.
Lisa Jansen After the Marriage
Bio profiles have described Lisa Jansen as a health and compassion coach, including training described in those profiles as connected to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and work involving EFT, mindfulness, yoga, and Reiki, as well as “The Compassion Code.” That description comes from bio profiles rather than a current, independently confirmed record of her present work.
Where Things Stand Now
As of October 2026, no remarriage by Kapler has been publicly confirmed. He is now general manager of the Miami Marlins, a role he took up in November 2025 after joining the club as assistant general manager in January 2024, following his time as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies from 2018 to 2019 and the San Francisco Giants from 2020 to 2023, when he was named National League Manager of the Year in 2021. Kapler keeps his private life private.
Conclusion
Lisa Jansen is Gabe Kapler’s ex-wife, not his current wife. They married in January 1999, had two sons, and divorced in 2013, and as of October 2026, no remarriage by Kapler has been publicly confirmed.
