Justin Verlander’s MLB career may be over, but Kate Upton is making sure his retirement gets the sendoff it deserves—with a little humor. After more than a decade together, Upton has been by the baseball star’s side through World Series celebrations, career highs, motherhood and now the end of his time on the mound. The couple, who married in 2017 and are parents to two young children, have grown up together in many ways, making Verlander’s retirement feel like the end of one chapter for their entire family—not just his baseball career.
Kate Upton Has a Hilarious Reaction to Justin Verlander’s Retirement
@todayshow“It was tears of joy for me!” ? Kate Upton jokingly reacts to husband Justin Verlander’s retirement.
In a recent visit to the Today show following Verlander’s final appearance on the mound this weekend, when the Detroit Tigers faced the Pittsburgh Pirates, the World Series champion shared his reaction to retirement and what he looks forward to in his next act.
But things took a hilarious turn when host Savannah Guthrie asked the star pitcher’s wife, supermodel Kate Upton, how she’s feeling about retirement.
“I’m so excited,” Upton quickly interjected. “I am never watching another baseball game again.”
Fans responded quickly to Upton’s authenticity and candor, with one writing, “She’s a real one for this.”
Realness is exactly what makes Kate Upton’s response so refreshing.

Kate Upton Has Supported Verlander Through His Career
@espnatbatA journey for these two ? #kateupton #justinverlander #mlb #baseball #tigers
♬ original sound – ESPNatbatUpton has been a staunch supporter of her athlete husband through team changes, injuries, World Series championships and disappointing seasons. Her reaction to his retirement after 21 seasons in MLB isn’t just a funny morning talk show soundbite. It’s also representative of the sacrifice a professional athlete’s entire family makes.
Kate Upton and Justin Verlander married in 2017 and share two young children. Their seven-year-old daughter, Genevieve Upton Verlander, was on hand as her dad pitched his final game this weekend, running to hug him and walk him off the field after his last pitch had been thrown.
Life With a Professional Athlete Comes With Sacrifices
While partners of professional athletes like Kate Upton, Kelly Stafford and Alexis Ohanian are avid supporters on the sidelines, being married to a professional athlete can often require a lot of sacrifice—for the athlete’s partner and their children.
Upton’s response may be quippy, but it also points to what it’s like to be a professional athlete’s spouse.
There’s no question that Kate Upton is a believer in her husband’s talent, but she is likely looking forward to having a schedule that isn’t dictated by Opening Day and the final game of the World Series.
Sports spouses like Gisele Bündchen, Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Olivia Culpo, who is married to Christian McCaffrey, and Taylor Swift, who is married to Travis Kelce, can make partnering with a professional athlete look easy. But Upton’s candid response is a reminder that it takes a village to support a professional athlete, often at the expense of their own hopes, plans and routines.
Kate Upton may be looking forward to having her husband home more often, but fans can’t wait to see what Justin Verlander does next—and what his superstar wife has to say about it.
