Upton is also smitten with motherhood, saying, “Being a mom is, and forever will be, my greatest accomplishment.”
Despite their break in mid-2013, they were back together in January 2014, for a romantic holiday in the Bahamas. In July 2018, Upton revealed on Instagram that she was expecting her first child. She posted a selfie of herself standing on the balcony of a hotel room, showing off her little baby bulge in a red pantsuit. "#PregnantInMiami," she captioned the photo.
In August 2018, Verlander spoke openly about some of the tough times in his life and career, stating that Upton rescued him during his darkest moments. “She was instrumental in me, not, like, jumping off a bridge. I was depressed and kind of just upset at the world and trying to hide my own s—t,” he told Bleacher Report, noting his wife got him through his hernia surgery and recovery.”
He continued, “F—k, man, she was what I needed. I don’t like to talk to people about being hurt. As athletes, you’re not supposed to. It’s an excuse. But she was someone I could talk to. I mean, basically a therapist. Somebody I could trust with... worries about my career. Worries about, ‘Can I make it?’ Worries about what I’m going through to get back. And just the overall s—tiness of it all.”
