Annabel broke her silence with an Instagram post dedicated to Baldock just hours after his cause of death was confirmed.
She wrote: "George, the love of my life, my soulmate. The perfect dad to our beautiful boy.
"You completed me. You were my world and I know we were yours.
"You are here with me in Brody's smile, giggle and infectious personality.
"My world will never be the same but I will find a way for Brody. I promise.
"I love you forever and always G. Your Neen. X"
"You completed me. You were my world and I know we were yours.You are here with me in Brody's smile, giggle and infectious personality."
The post was followed by a loving snap of the couple together smiling.
His family also revealed the football star, who moved to Greece to play for Panathinaikos FC, was due to return to the UK on Thursday to celebrate his birthday.
The family also confirmed his cause of death as drowning in his swimming pool at his Greek home.
Investigations into Baldock's shock death revealed the ex-Sheffield United player died in the water.
Annabel first raised the alarm after not hearing from her soon-to-be husband.
After failing to track him down, she told the owner of the house in Glyfada to check the property.
The full-back, who joined Athens side Panathinaikos from Sheffield United this summer, was found at the bottom of the pool by his landlord who jumped over the fence to get into the home.

They tried to resuscitate him but sadly could not revive him.
Forensic scientists who conducted the autopsy on Baldock at Athens' University Hospital on Thursday say he was dead for five hours before he was discovered.
The family's touching statement ended with them saying: "As a family it has been incredibly touching, but equally so very difficult to read the huge number of tributes written by those that knew George and from those whose life he touched.
"It was impossible not to love him. We ask that you please continue to respect our privacy at this devastating time as we begin to process our grief."
Cops said it would be " several weeks, if not months" before the full autopsy and toxicology results were released.
A half-empty bottle of vodka and two glasses were found next to the pool - with police initially investigating
Officials have since ruled out any criminality was at play in his death.
