The Yankees legend’s name came up to be in relationships with many women, but most of them stayed rumored because no proof was ever found for the same.
When did Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter date?
The shortstop started dating the model in the year 2008. And about a year later, the rumors of them getting ‘secretly engaged’ started coming up.
The rumors were not only rumoring as a source told Page Six, “Derek and Minka are secretly engaged. The wedding is being planned and will take place after baseball season is over.”
However, once Kelly was spotted with the slugger at the Empire Hotel, she denied being in a relationship with the baseball player. Also, a representative of Kelly’s said, “There is no fall wedding planned to Derek Jeter.”
Jeter has said many times that he wanted to keep his personal life personal, so it was natural of him to not say anything about it. But the couple looked so good together that when the rumors of them getting married started, needless to say, a massive stir was caused.
Therefore, when the two broke up in 2011, it was a shock for everyone.
What are Kelly and Jeter up to now?
