New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter is known for his unmatched passion for baseball. Throughout his MLB career, he stayed away from controversies to focus solely on his performances. So much so that he only got married after his departure from MLB in 2014.

When Jeter retired from MLB, he had a lot of spare time to dedicate to his family and then-girlfriend Hannah Davis, which was previously not possible owing to his hectic playing schedule.

During a 2015 interview with television news personality Matt Lauer, Davis didn't shy away from mentioning how Jeter's retirement turned out to be a blessing. It left the pair with a lot of quality time to spend together.

Derek and Hannah started seeing each other in 2012 after meeting through a mutual friend. The pair got engaged in 2015 and hitched the following year in a hush-hush ceremony.

New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter has embraced fatherhood since leaving the MLB and has evolved into a real family man.

During a Q&A session on his Instagram account, Derek opened up about bits and pieces of his current life in Miami.

"I spend a lot of time chasing two girls around and changing diapers on the third. Every day there's something new, and they learn something new every single day. It's been wonderful. It's been more than I ever could've imagined."

Recently, the entire Jeter family turned up for a celebration at Yankee Stadium to honor the MLB legend's induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Derek's parents, Charles Jeter and Dorothy Jeter, and his sister, Sharlee Jeter, were also present at the ballpark to witness the glorious moment.
