Justin Verlander, Kate Upton welcome baby No. 2

Justin Verlander and Kate Upton have welcomed their second child together.

A rep for Upton told TMZ that the couple had a son, Bellamy Brooks Verlander, on Thursday.

Verlander, 41, was placed on paternity leave by the Giants ahead of Friday’s game against the Red Sox.

Speculation on a possible pregnancy for Upton, 33, first popped up in January when she was seen walking on the beach with Verlander in photos obtained by the Daily Mail.

Verlander has been in a relationship with Upton since 2014, with the two tying the knot three years later in Tuscany, Italy.

The couple had their first child, Genevieve, in November 2018.

Verlander, who was drafted by the Tigers with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2004 MLB Draft, is in his 20th major league season and is the oldest active player in the big leagues.

Despite starting 11 games so far for the Giants this year, the three-time Cy Young Award winner has yet to pick up his first win of the 2025 season, pitching to a 4.45 ERA with 47 strikeouts in 56⅔ innings.

Verlander’s most recent start came on Wednesday, when he gave up three earned runs in 4⅔ innings against the Guardians after being sidelined for a month with a strained right pectoral muscle.

“It felt good to be back out there,” Verlander told reporters following his start. “Obviously, was a bit inconsistent. Wanted to give us a better chance to win, but stuff seemed OK and hopefully the inconsistency can clean up quickly.”

The 2011 AL MVP signed a one-year deal worth $15 million with the Giants in January, marking the fourth club he’s played for in his career.

″This season’s been a mental challenge just kind of trying to find my groove,” Verlander added. “But as far as like the mental hurdle of feeling if I was healthy [tonight], I felt like I was OK.”
