Derek and Hanna got married in 2016 and have four children together. While the first three are daughters, the fourth child is a boy. Parents have different plans for their children, as the MLB legend does.

He revealed, “I want my son, I want my daughters to find something they’re passionate about. I don’t care what it is, I really don’t care what it is.” 

As a baseball legend, it is natural for Jeter to want his son to continue his legacy and become a baseball player. Fans are also excited about what the 14x All-Star has planned for his newborn son.

However, the 5xWorld Champion does want his son and daughters to choose a sport, but in addition, he said, “I would like for them to play a sport because I think you learn a lot of life lessons playing sports, you know, we’re setting goals, teamwork, working together, failure. I think those are things that you learn, but I would never push any of my kids into a particular career path and you just want them, each of them to find the thing that they’re most passionate about”

Despite being a baseball legend, this proud father doesn’t want to force his kids into anything just to fulfill his desires. He wants all these children to find their passion and follow it, irrespective of what it is. At one point, Hanna revealed, thier daughters don’t even know what their dad used to do for living.
