Kate Upton grinned from ear to ear Tuesday as she supported husband Justin Verlander at his introductory press conference at Citi Field.
Joined by their 4-year-old daughter Genevieve, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit alum, 30, smiled from the front row as the Mets introduced the three-time Cy Young-winning pitcher, who agreed to a two-year, $86 million contract earlier this month following five and a half seasons with the Astros.
For the big day, Upton rocked a purple top, matching slacks and black-heeled booties while Genevieve was dressed in a pale pink ensemble.
The media session came days after Upton and Verlander, 39, enjoyed a tropical getaway in St. Barts, where they stayed in a $450,000-per-week villa.
The couple, who celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in November, was photographed splashing around in the water a short while after Verlander joined the Mets.
It’s been a whirlwind of an offseason for Verlander, who recently earned his second World Series title with the Astros. Upon defeating the Phillies in Game 6 of the series, Verlander celebrated with Upton and Genevieve at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
