In his game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Justin Verlander is on the verge of clinching the World Series. He’s 39 years old and has already won one championship, in 2017 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, so he might as well try for another.
Nine times Justin has been selected for the All-Star Game, and five times he has led the American League in strikeouts. In 2011, he even won the coveted Triple Crown. There is no doubt that we are in the presence of a baseball genius, but his greatest accomplishment was undoubtedly marrying supermodel Kate Upton.
Who is Justin Verlander’s Wife, Kate Upton?
In the first half of the 2010s, Kate Upton was a cultural phenomenon. Upton’s career as a model took off after she was named Sports Illustrated’s “Rookie of the Year” in their 2011 Swimsuit Issue.
After that, Upton appeared on the cover three more times (in 2012, 2013, and 2017), making her one of just six models to do it. Both GQ and Esquire featured Upton on their cover pages.
Upton leveraged her popularity, attractiveness, and talent to launch a successful acting career. Her first film role was in Tower Heist. Along with Alexandra Daddario, Upton starred in 2017’s The Layover. The Three Stooges and The Other Woman are also among the films she has acted in.
The actress and model has been honored for her beauty and modeling work. Models.com named her as 2012’s number five sexiest model. At the 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Upton was honored as Model of the Year. She was crowned 2014’s “Sexiest Woman Alive” by PEOPLE Magazine.
When did Verlander and Upton Meet?
This happened in 2012 when Upton had just been off the cover of Sports Illustrated for Women. Before going public with their relationship in 2013, they dated secretly for a whole year. However, in 2016, Verlander proposed after they had reconciled.
Kate Upton and Justin Verlander: A Happy Family of Three
In November of 2018, Kate and Justin had a daughter, Genevieve Upton Verlander. The two proud parents occasionally post photos of their daughter Genevieve to social media, but they always obscure her face.
From what they’ve shown the public, they look to be a content household. Kate praised Justin as the “best dad” to their daughter in an April 2021 interview with Jimmy Fallon.
