An incredible piece of news came from the world of MLB, as Giants player Justin Verlander and his wife Kate Upton have just had their second child. On June 19, the couple confirmed the birth of Bellamy Brooks Verlander, who caused immense joy in the couple and will have Verlander out for a couple of days in the activity and games of the Giants.
After the birth of the couple’s second child, the San Francisco Giants announced that Verlander would be placed on paternity leave. This decision led him to miss his team’s important home series against the Boston Red Sox, demonstrating his priority for this momentous personal moment.

Verlander’s decision to take his paternity leave is supported by a key MLB policy. This regulation allows players to be absent for up to three games to be present for the birth or adoption of a child, giving them vital space to connect with their newborns without an immediate sporting penalty. It is a fundamental recognition that even elite athletes deserve to be present at the most important moments of their family lives
An iconic relationship
The relationship between Kate and Justin has been one of the most followed in sports and entertainment since they met in 2012. They married in 2017 and in November 2018 welcomed their first daughter, the adorable Genevieve Upton Verlander. Now, with the arrival of Bellamy, the Verlander-Upton family is consolidated, adding a new chapter to their personal and public story.
The family knows that they are more than exposed to public opinion, as the couple is made up of an MLB figure and a renowned model. However, they have managed to adapt and with the birth of their new child they are strengthening a family that is loved by everyone.
MLB’s support for parents
The paternity leave granted by MLB is a boost to players’ rights to be part of the birth of their children without having to worry about their work. In Verlander’s case, this break will mean that his return to the mound will not be until Tuesday, when the Giants host the Miami Marlins at Oracle Park.
In addition to the three days granted, MLB’s paternity leave policy offers flexibility for more complex situations. If a player requires an extended absence due to exceptional circumstances, the team may request that he be placed on the restricted list or be granted family medical leave. The commitment to players and their families is great and Verlander knows this well, as he will prioritize his family in this new stage of his life.
