Kate Upton’s Boyfriend Justin Verlander For The All Star Game? No, Model Wants Justin Upton
Kate Upton and Justin Verlander are famously a couple, but the Detroit Tigers play may have competition for Kate’s favorite baseball player since the model is now pitching in to get people to vote for Atlanta Braves player Justin Upton as the fan favorite for the Major League Baseball’s All Star Game (maybe she just likes his last name?).
In a related report by The Inquisitr, Kate Upton’s bikini body requires a good amount of exercise, but she also has to watch what she eats. Her personal trainer spent some time giving tips on the low carb diet she maintains in order to stay in shape for the camera. Speaking again of Justin Verlander, he must loving manscaping because it turns out that Kate has a thing for that type of manly grooming.
Kate Upton’s Sports Illustrated cover from October of last year featured the famous model perched on the shoulders of brothers B.J. and Justin Upton. The second Mr. Upton is among the 10 MLB players in the running for the final two spots in the All Star game. Fans have until 4 PM on Thursday, July 9, to vote for their fan favorite before they begin to play ball on July 15 in Menneapolis at 7:30 PM.
Well, it appears Kate is trying to sway the vote by convincing her 1.45 million Twitter followers to throw in their hat in for Justin Upton. She previously tweeted:
Everyone go and vote for @JUP_8TL for the All Star Game! #keepitinthefamily #VoteJUp pic.twitter.com/BC6Gbn2B9S pic.twitter.com/J562D0UDiu

There’s a good chance that Ms. Upton may have a chance at swinging for the fence since this tweet has been favorited 2,600 times and retweeted 3,600 times. It’s possible the Atlanta Braves could add one more player to the All Star game because Craig Kimbrel, Freddie Freeman, and Julio Teheran have already been named.
Justin Verlander, on the other hand, probably will not receive this honor in 2014:
“As wonderfully happy as the couple appears, however, this year has been an aggravating one professionally for Verlander. While he struggled last season as well, he still made the All-Star team. This year, given a 4.71 ERA even before he gave up five runs Tuesday night, no midseason honors will be coming Verlander’s way. Many wonder if the pitcher, with so many innings and pitches under his belt, is beginning a steep decline.”
What do you think about Kate Upton and Justin Verlander as a couple? Are you surprised she would publicly support Justin Upton when her boyfriend is struggling?
