Justin Verlander's wife Kate Upton after Astros clinched their second World Series title: "He is the most positive person I've ever met"

Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander’s wife Kate Upton praised her husband’s optimistic nature and is proud of him. After the Astros won the World Series title, Upton shared what she feels for Verlander.

“He’s the most positive person I have ever met.”

Upton also spoke about the time when Verlander underwent a major Tommy John surgery and his positive approach.

“And even the moment you found out you had to have Tommy John, he was like I am so grateful that I can spend this time with my daughter that I never thought I would have because I haven’t had a summer off since then. I feel like it was such a gift in so many ways and also such a hardship, but he is the best example to our daughter. He is working so hard every single day.”

She added:

“He has wins, he has losses and he shows up everyday for his daughter as a father, as a husband. This is the reason I love you. You shop for your family,” Upton added.

He has put in so much work to be where he is today… He is continuing to break records and hit new milestones in his career. It was so fun having the family together to support Justin at his 9th All-Star experience. I am so proud of you @justinverlander! ❤️" - Kate Upton
