Kate Upton Welcomes Baby No. 2 With Husband Justin Verlander

Kate Upton and husband Justin Verlander just expanded their roster.

On June 19th, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and Major League Baseball pitcher announced the birth of their son, Bellamy Brooks Verlander. This news was confirmed by a representative of Kate to People magazine.

Prior to expanding their family, the newlywed pair who got married in 2017 were previously parents to a 6-year-old girl named Genevieve.

While neither Kate nor Justin have made any public statements, it was officially announced on the San Francisco Giants’ June 20th post (previously Twitter) that their player had been taken off the roster and added to the Paternity Leave list.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but marvel at the private world shared by this beloved duo, yet there have been moments when Kate graciously offers a glimpse into her life as a mother. These glimpses often reveal heartwarming, even humorous, interactions with her little one, leaving us all smiling in admiration.

In an interview with TopMob News last May (2024), the 33-year-old shared that she was just informed by someone that they thought I was a professional tennis player. It turns out she had observed me playing tennis casually, and since Justin, her reference point, is athletic and plays baseball, she assumed being a tennis player was my job!

Despite the jokes, it’s worth noting that Kate deliberately infuses elements of motherhood into her professional endeavors in a beneficial manner.

As a mother, particularly of a daughter, it inspires me immensely to stay conscious about the messages that are presented to young women,” the model said to Extra last May during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch. “That’s why it is thrilling to be associated with a brand like Sports Illustrated, who promotes self-acceptance and embraces diversity.

Highlighting the individuality of each woman, she said, “It’s your unique qualities that define you. Your voice holds power, and you are significant. It’s essential for women to remind themselves of their importance.

In addition to her sage words of wisdom, Kate has passed down a few of her best qualities, too. 

In an interview with People magazine last July, she shared, “She enjoys dancing and having fun, and she lives fully in each moment. I believe she inherits that trait from me.
