In August 2014, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model Kate Upton revealed that she was an avid New York Yankees fan but changed her allegiance to root for Justin Verlander.
Eight years ago, Kate appeared on the morning talk show, “Live! with Kelly and Michael," and said:
“I used to be a really big Yankees fan. But I’m sleeping with the enemy. My boyfriend plays for the Tigers. I had to pick a side."
She added how her departure from the Yankees was like a "bad breakup."
"And I felt it too when I walked in. The Yankees told me, ‘You’re not allowed to wear a Tigers hat. You’re not allowed to wear any Tigers gear.’ It’s like a bad breakup.”
