"Paul and Sonia Lo Duca met in the mid-1990s in San Antonio through a mutual friend while he played for the San Antonio Missions, then a farm team for the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a friend. Sonia, a native San Antonian, attended both John Jay HS in the middle-class Northside School District, as well as the University of the Incarnate Word, a private Catholic university in her hometown, the friend said. According to court papers, Lo Duca married Sonia, whose maiden name is Flores, on Nov. 2, 2000.
A close source to Lo Duca said the ballplayer knew that Sonia had been a Playboy model, and that he doesn’t want his wife to be embarrassed about it now.
“He’s aware of that. He’s trying to be protective of his wife,” the source said. “He doesn’t want her name unfairly dragged through the mud with something that happened a long time ago.” "

Fresh updated new about sonia lo duca.
A part from Daily News:

"Mets catcher Paul Lo Duca's public declaration that he only bets on horses was torpedoed yesterday by a source who recounted the slugger's part in high-stakes poker games and trips to Atlantic City.
A former teammate told the Daily News that the feisty Lo Duca was one of a handful of players on the Marlins who took part in big-money poker games on team flights and hit the casinos on the road.

The revelations came on the heels of allegations in recent days - from his wife in Texas and a Long Island teenager - that painted Lo Duca as a womanizer.

Playboy model Sonia Lo Duca, 34, filed for divorce against the Met in June, alleging in a Texas court petition that he cheated on her. The couple has a 21-month-old daughter.

Another woman, 19-year-old Krista Guterman, publicly claimed this week that she had a tryst with Lo Duca after meeting him in a Long Island nightclub - some time after Lo Duca and his wife already had split.

The Long Island teen, a Lord & Taylor employee and SUNY Oneonta student, could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Lo Duca has repeatedly refused to address his wife's accusation. Yesterday, he also refused to address the claim from the sexy teen whose My Space account identifies her as a "crazy girl always up for a good time & partying."

"I have no comment," Lo Duca, 34, said. "If you want to talk about baseball, I'll talk about baseball."

The Brooklyn-born catcher held a news conference Tuesday to deny allegations that he had gambling debts and reassert that he and his wife were going through an amicable split. He said he did love horse racing, which he noted was hardly a crime.

With the recent rumblings about Lo Duca's gambling, however, Major League Baseball sources told The News that Commissioner Bud Selig's office will speak to Mets owner Fred Wilpon to determine whether Lo Duca has been doing anything the league needs to be concerned about.

Mets General Manager Omar Minaya said yesterday that Lo Duca assured him he did not have gambling debts nor a gambling problem.

"Paul basically told us that he's doing nothing wrong," Minaya said.

Minaya did not directly address whether he had asked Lo Duca about gambling on other sports...."
