Yesterday, Kate Upton, the wife of Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander, took to Instagram and posted an adorable clip of her husband being the cutest father ever. Kate probably took the lovely video before one of the Houston Astros vs. Toronto Blue Jays games. Justin can be seen sprinting around the baseball field with his daughter Genevieve with a cheerful attitude in the video, which melted Kate's heart. A father's bond with his daughter is unparalleled. Little moments like this shared by three-year-old Genevieve with her father, Justin, will one day become treasured memories.
"My Heart" - @Kate Upton
Genevieve, Kate and Justin's daughter, took the limelight in 2019 when she visited her dad, Justin, to watch him play against the New York Yankees at the Yankee Stadium for a World Series playoff game. Back then, little Genevieve was just 11-months old. She also wore a denim jacket with "Verlander" written on the back along with Justin's jersey number, 35. Isn't that the sweetest?
In 2019, Justin Verlander said, "I would like to be able to play long enough that my daughter can see me and remember me playing baseball when she grows older. I want her to be able to remember me.”
"Go Daddy! We are ready for Game 4!" - @Kate Upton
