Justin Verlander shares baby update after welcoming second child with Kate Upton

Back from paternity leave, Justin Verlander said the time he spent with his newborn second child was “really incredible.”

“Just an amazing, amazing time,” the Giants’ right-hander said Tuesday after a 4-2 loss to the Marlins. “Everybody’s home, happy, healthy. All I can ask for.”

Verlander and wife Kate Upton welcomed son Bellamy Brooks Verlander on June 19, a rep for the model told TMZ.

The couple, who have been married since November 2017, welcomed their first child, daughter Genevieve, in November 2018, three days after their first wedding anniversary.

“Having a 6-and-a-half-year-old, knowing the journey that’s ahead of me, it’s really incredible and I’m really looking forward to reliving some of those times,” he said.

Verlander, 42, was on the paternity list for three days, missing the Giants’ weekend series with the Red Sox.

The nine-time All-Star met Upton, 33, in February 2012 during a commercial shoot for the “MLB 2K12” video game. The pair made their relationship public in 2013. 

After a brief split later that year, Upton and Verlander got back together and were engaged in 2016.

They tied the knot in Italy shortly after Verlander won the World Series with the Astros in November 2017.

Verlander has earned AL MVP honors, captured the Cy Young three times and won the World Series twice in his legendary 20-year career, although he has struggled in San Francisco after signing a one-year, $15 million contract in the offseason.

The 42-year-old is 0-5 with 4.52 ERA across 61 2/3 innings spanning 12 starts. 

In his first start back from the paternity list Tuesday against the Marlins, he suffered the loss after yielding three earned runs in five innings.

Verlander is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the White Sox.
