Derek Jeter, who once led the glorious New York Yankees for over a decade, now houses a team of three, co-led by himself and his wife Hannah Jeter. From being the sublime leader in Pinstripes, today, Jeter is the picture-perfect father to three adorable daughters.

Throughout his playing career, Jeter strongly believed in separating his professional life from his personal. Years after leaving the ballpark, Captain Clutch stands among the greatest sportsman in New York. And with fame and popularity comes invaded privacy. However, both Derek and Hannah have consistently tried to keep their children away from this spotlight in their own diplomatic way.

Jeter’s journey molded from him being a five-time World Champion to an ideal family man.

How many kids does Derek Jeter have?

Married to Hannah Davis, the couple has three daughters, born in 2017, 2019, and 2021 respectively. Bella Raine, their first daughter, was born on August 17, 2017. Following that, on January 31, 2019, their second daughter, Story Grey, was born. Finally, and most recently, on December 2, 2021, their third and youngest daughter, River Rose, was born.

When did Jeter marry Hannah Davis?

After being the Yankees bad boy for the longest time across his playing career, Derek Jeter married Sports Illustrated model Hannah Davis in 2016. The two dated for four years before getting hitched to each other.

Bella Raine Jeter, 5

Derek and Hannah welcomed their first child, a daughter named Bella Raine Jeter, on August 17, 2017. Hannah announced her pregnancy in a heartfelt essay for The Players’ Tribune, a sports media company co-founded by Derek. In the essay, she reflected on the “special” bond she hoped to cultivate between Derek and their children and expressed their desire to give their kids as “normal” a life as possible. She wanted Derek to just be “dad” to their children and not be defined by his name.

Since the Jeter family is excessively private, not much is known about Bella’s upbringing. However, Bella Raine does seem to share her father’s interest in sports. Back in 2019, when father Derek Jeter made an appearance on his good friend, Jimmy Fallon’s show – The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the ex-Yankees captain discussed Bella’s tennis lessons.

He revealed that he and Hannah had put Bella in tennis lessons when she was four years old, and although she tended to lose focus after 15 minutes, she was “not lacking in confidence when it comes to sports.” Derek recounted a conversation with Bella in which he asked her if she was ready to go to tennis practice, to which she replied, “Dad, I already know how to play.”

Story Grey Jeter, 4

Derek and Hannah Jeter welcomed their second daughter, Story Grey Jeter, on January 31, 2019. Hannah’s second pregnancy was reported in September 2018 when she was spotted with a baby bump. Four months down the line, the Jeters had their second daughter, Story Grey.

Despite their father’s fame, Story and her siblings are not fully aware of his celebrity status, something that Derek prefers. They know that he played for the Yankees and recognize him from TV, but beyond that, they have no idea.

Given Jeter’s constant demand for privacy, his daughters made minimum public appearances. However, when the former Yankees shortstop was being awarded the most prestigious award for a baseball player – an induction into the Hall of Fame, Story joined her father and sister Bella on stage.

Prior to the event, Story expressed her nerves about visiting Yankee Stadium for the first time in a sweet video. She also revealed that she is not a fan of baseball and doesn’t want to break her leg like her dad.

River Rose Jeter, 1

The couple chose not to reveal their third baby’s gender to the public. Fans only learned of their new addition through a tweet posted by The Players’ Tribune. Their youngest daughter, named River Rose Jeter, was born on December 2, 2021.

Since retiring from baseball, Derek has been spending more time with his daughters and has been adjusting to his “Girl Dad” title. He shared during a July 2022 interview that he has even been getting his nails painted and playing dress-up with his daughters.

Derek Jeter’s daughters have clear priorities for the Yankee legend’s Hall of Fame tribute

While Derek Jeter entered the Hall of Fame with a 99.75% ballot in 2020, his induction ceremony was postponed by two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, his entire family of five, who didn’t witness his remarkable MLB career, got to be present for his Hall of Fame entry in September 2022. Bella, Derek’s eldest daughter, posed for solo pictures with her father on the field and also stood by his side during his induction speech. Derek’s second daughter, Story, also made an appearance at the ceremony and stood with her father and sister at the podium.

Prior to the event, Story shared her nervousness about visiting Yankee Stadium for the first time in a cute video. Despite her father’s reassurance that it was okay if she wasn’t a good baseball player, Story expressed concern about breaking her leg as he did.

Moreover, Derek and Hannah’s priorities were set long before they reached the ground. They bothered little about Jeter’s induction or his career, but more about the food at the Bronx.

Derek Jeter had to bribe his daughters to go to a baseball game

Despite their father’s love for baseball, Jeter’s three daughters wouldn’t simply go to Yankee Stadium without any incentive. In fact, ice cream was a larger incentive for the three girls than their father’s entry into the Hall of Fame.

Concurrently, when Hannah asked the girls if they were excited to go to Yankee Stadium in an Instagram video, the girls responded enthusiastically. However, the reason for this enthusiasm was simply limited to the ice cream at the Bronx.

When Derek asked what they wanted to see at the stadium, Bella simply replied, “I want to eat!” Meanwhile, Story chimed in and said she wanted to eat ice cream.
