Model and actress Kate Upton and MLB superstar Justin Verlander are officially parents of two!
The couple welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Bellamy Brooks Verlander, on June 19, their rep confirmed to TMZ Sports. And yes — he’s already got superstar genes written all over him.
A New Chapter for the Power Couple
Verlander, who is currently pitching for the San Francisco Giants, was placed on paternity leave Friday afternoon, just one day after their son made his big debut into the world.
This marks baby No. 2 for the sports-and-glamour duo, who first became parents back in November 2018 with the birth of their daughter, Genevieve Upton Verlander.
???? Their Love Story: From MVP to “I Do”
Their relationship reads like a modern fairytale. The two met in 2012, back when Verlander was already one of baseball’s biggest stars and Upton was turning heads as one of the world’s most in-demand supermodels.
They tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Italy in November 2017 — just days after Verlander’s Houston Astros won the World Series. Talk about a winning week!
???? Introducing Bellamy Brooks Verlander
While the couple has yet to share official photos of baby Bellamy, fans are already buzzing about the name, which exudes a sense of classic charm and modern cool.
“Bellamy” is of French and English origin, meaning “fine friend” or “handsome companion” — and with parents like his, he’s bound to be both.
With Kate’s poise and presence and Justin’s athletic prowess, this little guy is sure to inherit more than just good looks. Expect fashion spreads and Little League MVP trophies in his future.
A Growing Family, A Private Celebration
The couple has always kept a relatively low profile when it comes to family life, opting for sweet but occasional peeks into their home life. Upton often shares loving tributes to Verlander on Father’s Day and birthdays, showing a softer side to their famously driven public images.
So far, there’s been no Instagram post announcing baby Bellamy’s arrival — but fans are eagerly waiting for that first family photo to drop.
Flashback: Their First Baby Reveal
When Genevieve was born in 2018, Upton shared a simple but heartwarming black-and-white photo of their newborn, captioned with just her name. Don’t be surprised if we get a similarly elegant reveal for baby Bellamy in the coming days.
Verlander Steps Away to Be Super Dad
Justin Verlander’s paternity leave signals just how committed he is to being present for his growing family — even in the middle of an MLB season.
At 41, the future Hall of Famer has done it all: multiple Cy Young Awards, a World Series ring, and now, the title that matters most — Dad of Two.
