Hannah Davis is now Derek Jeter’s fiancée! How did Davis snag Jeter’s heart after he’s dated some of the most beautiful women in the world? Jeter’s sexy exes include Minka Kelly, Vanessa Minnillo, Jessica Biel, Mariah Carey, Vida Guerra, and Adriana Lima. What a list! But Davis obviously has what it takes to get the former Yankee to settle down.

Hannah, 25, made a huge splash on the 2015 copy of the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and it couldn’t have been a more perfect fit. She was born and raised in Saint Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands in May of 1990. She has an older sister, an older brother, and grew up with both parents. Davis said that waking up to the sounds of the waves was one of the best parts of growing up there.

Looking back at Hannah Davis’ Models.com profile from when she was just 14 years old, the young model talked about her favorite things.

“Playing tennis and volleyball, going to the beach, hanging out with my friends, and dancing,” made Davis’ list.

As far as how Davis got into modeling, it all happened fairly quick. According to the New York Post , a family friend named Ginny Maxwell sent her to New York’s IMG Models — and she was signed on the spot!

Davis insisted on finishing high school and had one steady boyfriend for most of that time. That long-term mentality might have helped her end up as Derek Jeter’s fiancée!

“She definitely has a wisdom beyond her years,” Maxwell told the New York Post . She also shared that Hannah’s mother believes that Davis is an “old soul.”

“In high school Hannah was a killer athlete- star of the volleyball team and a Caribbean tennis star when we were younger,” Hannah’s best friend , Zan Schmidt, told Sports Illustrated . He added that she’s a homebody and prefers to stay home rather than going out.

“She always had a good head on her shoulders and knew what was worth her time,” said Schmidt.

Hannah Davis became a model in demand from a young age. She has modeled for tons of fashion houses and been on the cover of nearly every fashion magazine out there. Davis started out with Ralph Lauren, in particular for the Ralph Lauren fragrance, Ralph Rocks. She has worked for Victoria’s Secret, Tommy Hilfiger, and many more.

Most Americans probably know Hannah (and “her” horse) from her hilarious commercials for DirectTV. Before the current ad campaign, she was the DirectTV “Genie” which prompted COED to do a “ Who’s That Girl ” feature on the model that would become Derek Jeter’s fiancée.

In December of 2011, she was seen with Derek Jeter for the first time, at a Tampa, Florida, Starbucks. At the time, no one was sure how serious the romance was because that same month, Jeter jetted off to Paris to supposedly try and work things out with ex Minka Kelly! By August of 2012, Page Six had seen enough to announce the new romance !

“They were flirting, having a great time, and were sitting close together,” said a source. The couple were rumored to have broken up for a few months at the end of 2013 but were back together in time for Valentine’s Day 2014. She was spotted on Jeter’s “farewell tour” in May of 2014 and since then, they’ve been living happily ever after!

Neither Hannah Davis nor Derek Jeter have confirmed the engagement. The NY Daily News reports that the notoriously private Jeter dodged the question at a Q & A on Wednesday.

“I don’t talk about it because I think some things you have to keep close to yourself. Some things are sacred. So, I’ve never addressed anything in my private life.”

The same report says her family is thrilled with the union.
