Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is reportedly dating a New Jersey hospitality worker named Asiana Jayd “AJ” Hung-Barnes, according to multiple sources cited by Page Six.
The 27-year-old Hung-Barnes has been “tangled up” with the 34-year-old Giancarlo Stanton since 2022 after he was previously linked to actress Priscilla Quintana, one source said. Hung-Barnes, a former hostess at the restaurant Catch, joined the five-time All-Star in Tampa for spring training in February.
One source claimed Hung-Barnes had been “tagging along during the baseball season, staying in fancy hotel suites” that Giancarlo Stanton discreetly booked for her, including a stay at the Four Seasons in Baltimore in April when the Yankees played the Orioles there. The source added that Hung-Barnes would often “crash” at the Yankees slugger’s apartment in Manhattan’s Midtown East neighborhood.
The couple reportedly communicates frequently through social media, especially Snapchat. While a second source told Page Six that Giancarlo Stanton “doesn’t like his business being out there,” the source described Hung-Barnes as “reckless on social media” when it comes to hinting at the relationship.

In April, Hung-Barnes posted a picture of a handwritten note reading “Aj ♥’s G” on a hotel notepad with the caption “That I do.” She has also shared photos and videos from what appears to be the pool at Giancarlo Stanton’s Tampa home, including one with the caption “got caught taking this vid at the end lol.”
An insider revealed that Hung-Barnes, formerly employed as a hostess, has been frequently staying at Giancarlo Stanton’s Midtown East apartment in Manhattan.
Hung-Barnes has shared photos on social media wearing Yankees caps and has been spotted at Yankee Stadium, according to the Page Six report.
With their efforts to keep the relationship private, one source informed Page Six that Giancarlo Stanton eagerly checks her messages after every game.
However, Hung-Barnes’s now-deleted social media posts have included cryptic references to a “sneaky link” and “situationship,” slang terms for a secret lover and an undefined romance, respectively.
Neither Giancarlo Stanton’s representatives nor Hung-Barnes responded to Page Six’s requests for comments regarding their relationship. In the past, Stanton has been linked to models Chase Carter and Mariana Santana, among others.
The 34-year-old outfielder, who joined the Yankees from Miami in 2018, has previously been noted for his social life, including partying with numerous women in Miami, according to earlier reports by Page Six.

Good for them….not sure who the story serves especially since Stanton prefers not to have his personal life written about. Of course, “it comes with territory”… blah blah blah. But why does it have to? I just want him to hit.
Good for you G!
Asiana Hung-Barnes is Beautiful, and a stand-up guy like you, who owns his failures with as much dignity as his successes, deserves a lovely partner.
I hope your personal life is happy & you return to health very soon, Giancarlo Stanton.
