Kate Upton and her husband, baseball star Justin Verlander, have expanded their family! A representative confirmed to People magazine that the couple welcomed their second child, a son named Bellamy Brooks Verlander, on June 19th. This joyous occasion adds another member to their already adorable family, which includes their six-year-old daughter, Genevieve. The San Francisco Giants even acknowledged the happy event by placing Verlander on the paternity list.
While the notoriously private couple haven’t publicly shared details about their newborn son, Kate has previously offered glimpses into her life as a mother, sharing humorous anecdotes about her daughter’s charming misinterpretations of her career. In a previous interview, she recounted Genevieve believing Kate was a tennis player, a testament to the playful dynamics within their family.
Beyond the lighthearted moments, Kate has also spoken about the positive influence motherhood has had on her work and her commitment to positive messaging for young women. She’s expressed her dedication to representing a realistic and empowering image, particularly in her work with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, a brand that she feels celebrates women’s individuality and self-acceptance.
