About
Justin Verlander grew up in Virginia and played college baseball at Old Dominion University. The pitcher was selected by the Detroit Tigers as the second overall pick in the 2004 MLB draft and made his big-league debut in 2005.
The athlete was traded to the Houston Astros in 2017 and was in the pitching rotation when the team won the World Series that November. He won his second championship with the Astros in 2022, but became a free agent after the season. Verlander signed with the New York Mets for the 2023 season and was traded to the Astros that August. He signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants in January 2025.
Verlander is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and the recipient of the American League Most Valuable Player Award. He is also a nine-time MLB All-Star.
Verlander met model Kate Upton in 2012 while filming a commercial together. The pair went public with their romance in 2013 and tied the knot in November 2017. Verlander and Upton welcomed their daughter, Genevieve, in November 2018. Son Bellamy followed in June 2025.
