The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue star married Justin Verlander on November 4, 2017. The couple welcomed their daughter on November 7, 2018.
In the interview, Kate said:
"I can’t even think about having more kids now. I’m like, ‘I’m just sleeping through the night now,’ so it’s [memory of the pain of childbirth] still fresh in my mind.
Kate added:
“She actually is a really good baby. I feel like she’s a really cute mixture of us both.”

Regardless, Kate stated that she tries to pay attention to self-care and keeps up with her workout regime. She said:
“I still find time to work out … I’ve been doing my Strong4Me workouts, which are 30-minute workouts that you can do at home. I do it right after I breastfeed, when she’s just going down for a nap and fit in a little me time too, because it’s important to stay strong and stay energized while being a mom."
