Kate Upton is worked up to spend more time with husband Justin Verlander following the Astros’ World Series win.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit alum, 30, posted a sweet tribute to the Astros ace, 39, who won his second World Series with Houston last week following a Game 6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
“Congrats to @astrosbaseball and my husband on winning the World Series! And much more reason to rejoice… now we get you home!” Upton gushed.
Moments after the Astros’ World Series win, Upton — who recently celebrated her fifth wedding anniversary with Verlander — crashed the Fox set at Minute Maid Park, where the two-time Cy Young Award winner was sitting with the couple’s daughter, 3-year-old Genevieve.
“I like watching my husband do what he likes to do,” Upton said.
Verlander returned to the mound in April after being sidelined for the 2021 season following Tommy John surgery. Upton elaborated Saturday on what the journey back to the World Series has been like for his or her family.
“It’s such an incredible experience, I mean, having Justin home, and having the ability to be together as a family is so amazing, after which to go to the precise extreme, and be here on the World Series … it’s just so exciting,” she said.
Upton was also asked by David Ortiz if she wants Verlander to retire or play yet another yr. The model laughed and smiled before gushing over the nine-time All-Star.
“To see him do his craft, he’s such an artist on the market. When he’s pitching, it’s truly so creative, it’s such an art, and we’re so honored to be a part of that,” she said.
Verlander, who landed in Houston in 2017 following a trade with the Detroit Tigers, has opted out of the ultimate yr of his deal with the Astros. He was due $25 million for the 2023 season and is anticipated to get an enormous raise in free agency after his Cy Young-caliber season.
