Kate Upton opens up about being married to Justin Verlander
“Being a baseball wife is absolutely insane. Like this schedule is wild — it’s so long,” she said. “I didn’t know. I accidentally fell in love. I had no idea that there were this many games.”
“Wait, like I thought this was like a cute summer thing,” she added, noting the lengthy schedule. “This is eight months. They’re doing 163 games. No off days, no consecutive off days. Only Mondays and Thursdays.”
“I don’t see him. Especially when you start getting into late playoffs, when the baseball is so exciting, but you’re like, ‘I haven’t seen my husband in months. Like they better win!’” she continued. “This better be worth it!”
“To watch someone you love out there and have no control, it was a totally new experience,” the model added. “And so it already started this nervous energy running through me, like ‘Oh, no!’ And you want them to do well, you want them to feel good. You know, he’s my husband. I want him to come home and be happy and not be disappointed in how he played or what happened.”
Regarding being featured on video clips of her at games, she’s well aware that she gets featured occasionally. And she’s not always thrilled with the camera angles.
“Oh, yeah. When you’re sitting in a suite and you’re like up, up at my chin, you’re like, ‘Why do they hate me?’” she said, laughing.
PEOPLE reports that the couple met during a commercial shoot in 2012. They dated for a few years, and Verlander proposed to her in 2016. They were married on November 4, 2017, just a few days after winning the World Series.
Regarding the wedding, Verlander said, “It was a very special moment. It was pretty storybook. The moment the gates opened and I saw her walking down the aisle, I lost it. She looked so beautiful, and I had been looking forward to that day for a long time.”
