Tribute to the Houston Astros! As the Major League Baseball (MLB) team won its second World Series championship, pitcher Justin Verlander was delighted to share this special day with his wife Kate Upton and their daughter.
“It’s an amazing experience,” the 30-year-old model told Fox Sports on Saturday, November 5, as she watched her man’s team win Game 6 of the championship. “Having Justin home and being able to be together as a family is so amazing, and then going to the extreme and being here at the World Series and then winning, it’s so exciting and totally worth it. We miss him every time he leaves.
Upton, who told broadcasters she gave “A+ cheers,” brought the couple’s 3-year-old daughter Genevieve to the game at Minute Maid Park in Houston. “That’s the most we’ve been able to see,” she said on Saturday. “Just to see him do what he loves, just to see him do his job, he’s such an artist there. When he pitches, it’s just so creative, such art and we’re so honored.
Upton, who married the 39-year-old pitcher in November 2017, brought the team spirit with her outfit choices, wearing an Astros bomber jacket and baseball cap. Genevieve, for her part, wore a miniature swimsuit with her father’s last name on the back.
Upton and Verlander, who celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary earlier this month, welcomed their first child in November 2018.
“She’s been the most amazing wife and mother,” the baseball star said exclusively We Weekly in March 2019 to see his wife embrace parenthood. “I knew she would set a great example for our daughter no matter what. This is the person she is, this is the person I married. I have always appreciated her for her strength.
He continued at the time: “But just seeing her interact, all the care and everything that goes on with being a mother, it was great to watch. I know it’s not easy for her either, but it’s quite a bond they have, and it’s really special for me to be able to witness it and be a part of it.
the old Maillot de bain Sports Illustrated model has echoed her partner’s sentiments over the years.
“He’s still just as involved,” said other woman the actress said during an April 2021 appearance on the Tonight’s show with Jimmy Fallon, in which she called Verlander the “best” father – to their human children. “He’s the best partner. He’s just not the best dog dad. Like, he helped almost zero with Norman, but he took almost every night shift with Vivi. So I’m still a little bitter about it.
