MLB star Justin Verlander has welcomed his second baby with his wife, actress Kate Upton, according to a report. 

Upton, 33, gave birth to their son, Bellamy Brooks Verlander, on June 19, a representative for the supermodel told TMZ

A day following, Verlander, 42, was placed on paternity leave by the San Francisco Giants on Friday to spend time with his wife and their newborn. 

The two-time World Series winner and Upton welcomed their first child – a daughter named Genevieve ‘Vivi’ Upton Verlander – in November 2018. 

The pitcher has been wed to the stylish Vogue cover model since 2017. The joyful pair met initially while collaborating on a commercial set for the Major League Baseball 2k12 video game in 2012. 

Four years later, Verlander proposed, and they married in a beautiful ceremony in Tuscany, shortly after the right-hander led the Astros to a World Series victory – his first with the team.

The Other Woman star announced that she was expecting her first child less than a year after the couple tied the knot.

Three days after celebrating their first wedding anniversary in November 2018, the couple welcomed Vivi to their family.

Upton has previously revealed that their little girl is aware of her dad’s fame on the mound. 

In 2023, Upton shared: ‘She knows that he’s a baseball player now. She goes to school part time in Houston, so she definitely knows that he plays baseball now.’ 

Verlander made his MLB debut with the Detroit Tigers in 2005, before joining the Astros in 2017 going on to win two World Series titles in Houston. 

He had a fleeting stint with the New York Mets in 2023 before returning to Houston partway through the season. 

He joined the fourth team of his career – the Giants – ahead of the 2025 campaign, and has a 4.45 ERA and 47 strikeouts so far this season. 

Verlander will miss San Francisco’s home series against the Boston Red Sox, which begins Friday night, after being put on paternity leave by the team.

The earliest the pitcher could return is Tuesday, when the Giants host the Miami Marlins at Oracle Park. 

The MLB’s paternity leave policy allows players to step away for up to three games, barring any issues requiring a longer leave.

If a player requires a longer absence, the team can apply to have him join the restricted list or go on family medical leave. 

The Giants currently sit second in the National League West at 42-33 behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

Upton has been a regularly fixture at her husband’s games, supporting him at ballparks across the country – including at Yankee Stadium when the Astros swept New York in the 2022 American League Championship Series. 

However, she has previously revealed that she wasn’t aware how grueling the MLB’s schedule was before realise chaotic her WAG lifestyle would be. 

‘Being a baseball wife is absolutely insane, like this schedule is wild, it’s so long. I didn’t know,’ the 32-year-old said on the Chicks in the Office podcast in July 2024. 

‘I accidentally fell in love. I had no idea that there were this many games,’ she went on.
