Growing Their Family to Four
Celebrity model Kate Upton and Major League Baseball star Justin Verlander have officially welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Bellamy Brooks Verlander. The couple’s representative confirmed that baby Bellamy was born on June 19, 2025, and both mother and baby are doing well.. The arrival marks a new chapter for the family of four, which already includes their 6‑year‑old daughter, Genevieve (affectionately “Vivi”).
A Joyful Expansion
Upton, now 33, and Verlander, 42, who tied the knot in a romantic Tuscan wedding in November 2017 shortly after his Houston Astros World Series win, have been open about how family life shapes their careers and priorities. This new addition not only fills their home with more love but also inspires them both professionally—Verlander recently entered paternity leave with the San Francisco Giants to cherish those early bonding moments.
Little Bellamy Brooks
Bellamy’s arrival comes six years after Genevieve’s birth in November 2018. Reports indicate the family is settling in well, relishing the arrival of their second child with excitement and gratitude. Neither Upton nor Verlander has released a personal statement yet, but sources confirm that baby Bellamy and his big sister are thriving in a loving, private home environment.
Balancing Career & Parenthood
As a prominent Sports Illustrated model and actress, Kate Upton has consistently balanced her professional life with motherhood. She has described parenting Genevieve as both joyful and grounding—explaining that being a mom affects her choices, especially in promoting positive messages to young women.
Justin Verlander remains a veteran pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. After signing a one-year deal in January, he addressed becoming a father again by embracing paternity leave and aiming to maintain top athletic form for his kids—keen to ensure they remember him on the field.
The Couple’s Journey Together
From meeting in 2014 to becoming one of baseball and entertainment’s most admired duos, Upton and Verlander have overcome challenges—from viral exposure and photo leak controversies to public scrutiny and player transitions. They tied the knot in 2017, shortly after Verlander’s World Series victory, and have since navigated a successful life in the public eye while maintaining family-first values.
What’s Next for the Verlander-Upton Family
Following their son’s birth:
Verlander will be on paternity leave, spending dedicated time with his growing family.
Kate Upton will likely continue balancing modeling, acting, and motherhood, reinforcing her advocacy for positive role models and self-acceptance.
