Fact Check: Did Hannah Jeter get a hysterectomy? Yankees legend's wife's pregnancy complications examined

New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter's wife Hannah experienced pregnancy complications with her first two children (Bella Raine and Story Grey). She subsequently had to get an emergency hysterectomy after the birth of her second daughter in 2019.

The couple's third daughter, River Rose, was born in December 2021. Derek and Hannah recently welcomed their fourth child, a baby boy named Kaius Green. The little munchkin was born on May 5, lighting up the Jeters' home.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a hysterectomy is a "surgical procedure that removes your uterus." After the surgery, a woman can't become pregnant and can no longer menstruate.

So, how did Hannah end up giving birth to their third and fourth child? One possible option is surrogacy.

"Surrogacy is an arrangement, often supported by a legal agreement, whereby a woman agrees to delivery/labour on behalf of another couple or person, who will become the child's parent after birth."

However, there are no confirmed reports regarding the method used to welcome their last two babies.

After Jeter posted the news on Twitter, MLB fans rushed to congratulate the former shortstop.

New York Yankees' former shortstop Derek Jeter tied the knot with former Sports Illustrated supermodel Hannah Jeter in 2016. They have a large age gap. Hannah is 33 years old while Jeter is 49.

While this has certainly raised eyebrows, there's no denying the fact that the celebrity couple is going strong even after seven years of marriage.
