Justin Verlander thanked his wife, Kate Upton, in his MLB retirement announcement. The couple's relationship began in 2012 when they worked together on a commercial set, and they went public in 2013. After a brief split in 2013, they reunited in 2014, got engaged in 2016, and married in Italy in November 2017 following Verlander's World Series win with the Houston Astros. The couple honeymooned in Europe and celebrated their first anniversary in November 2018, just days before welcoming their first child, daughter Genevieve. They expanded their family in 2025 with the birth of their son, Bellamy. Verlander has previously spoken about his wife's surprise wedding dress change, and Upton has described their first year of marriage as the "best year of my life."
