Who is Ben Zobrists wife Julianna?
FORMER Chicago Cubs utility player and 2016 World Series MVP, Ben Zobrist has filed a lawsuit against his former minister. The lawsuit accuses of having an affair with his wife and defrauding his charity foundation. Julianna Zobrist is a Christian electronic pop singer who married Ben in 2005. The 36-year-old released her studio album Shatterproof in 2016 and has had two singles chart on Billboard. She was born in Florida and later moved to Iowa where she attended Christian school while her father was a pastor. Julianna then moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University from where she graduated in 2007. The next year she began her music career and has had mediocre success in the Christian music genre. Ben and Julianna married while she was still attending Belmont in 2005. The couple went on to have three kids- one boy and two girls. In 2019, Ben filed for divorce in Tennessee citing "inappropriate marital conduct" while Julianna filed for divorce in Illinois. 2 Ben and Julianna share three young children Credit: Getty  Zobrist filed the complaint on May 6 in Nashville Circuit Court against Byron Yawn seeking $6 million in punitive and compensatory damages. Yawn is the CEO of the Nashville-area counseling firm Forrest Crain, has served as the senior pastor at Community Bible Church in Nashville for about 20 years, and served as the Zobrist's marriage counselor since they began attending his church in 2005. He also began working closely with Julianna at the Zobrist's charity where he earned an annual salary of $36,000. Zobrist claims that Yawn usurped the ministerial-counselor role, violated and betrayed the confidence entrusted to him by the plaintiff, breached his fiduciary duty owed to the plaintiff and deceitfully used his access as counselor to engage in an inappropriate sexual relationship with the plaintiffs wife.  The spiritual leader's council did not deny the affair saying: At the end of the day, a woman has the right to choose who she wants to be with. Were in the middle of litigation, so I cant really comment further at this point, but thats what it boils down to.  Most read in Celebrity WOAH BABY!
