And after everything, their relationship has become an inspiration to the idea of love across North America. However, back in 2013, Hannah Davis once completely dodged questions about Jeter, which raised suspicions about the couple.
Hannah Davis purposefully ignored questions about baseball
Model Hannah Davis appeared on The Dan Patrick Show shortly after her relationship with Derek Jeter began. During the show, Dan asked Hannah questions about her affiliation with Jeter, the Bronx Bombers, and baseball in general.
Dan Patrick asked Hannah whether she was a baseball fan. To this, she replied by saying, “I’m a New York fan.” He continues to ask her whether she’s a Yankee fan and she says, “Of course, because I live in New York. I support all the teams from New York.” Finally, Dan directly jumped in by asking Hannah, who her favorite baseball player was. To this, she responded by saying, “I don’t follow baseball,” and the duo broke into laughter.
All in all, Hannah Davis tried her best to dodge questions about Jeter, but Dan continued to stay incessant. Finally, Hannah concluded the segment of the conversation by saying, “You know some things you just kind of have to keep to yourself.”
Derek Jeter – a magical Yankee shortstop
Derek Jeter made his MLB debut with the Pinstripes in 1995. Since then, with every passing season, the shortstop broke records and wrote his own legacy. He made his way to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020 with a record 99.75% majority. Back in 2017, the Yankee front office added the Hall of Famer to Monument Park and retired his jersey number 2.
Throughout his career, the Yankee won five World Series Rings, five Golden Glove and Silver Slugger awards, and appeared on 14 All-Star teams. Moreover, he also won the Roberto Clemente Award in 2009.
