It’s a proud achievement when one gets a comparison to a big name in their field. It means recognition of potential, that one may even surpass expectations. Derek Jeter often received it in his baseball career, a top prospect right from the beginning. But the former New York Yankees captain’s supermodel wife, Hannah Davis, is equally accomplished.
The couple got married in 2016 and have four kids together, three daughters and a son. Jeter was in the last stages of his baseball career when he started dating Davis, and when the two tied the knot, Davis took a step back from her career to focus on her family. But once, she was among the best in the field and even received a comparison to another baseball wife.

Kate Upton may be the wife of a famous man but most still recognize her from her acting and modeling career. Married to the Houston Astros’ Justin Verlander, Upton is a huge presence in the modeling world. America’s crush, the supermodel has been a smash success in Hollywood as well. So of course, Hannah Davis, once an emerging star, was called the next Kate Upton.
Davis was a favorite with the Ralph Lauren brand and has appeared in a variety of sports modeling magazine issues. But what catapulted her into stardom was when she made the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue in 2016. According to the Daily Mail, Davis had such an impact on the photographers that they left with a huge impression of the model. Thus the Upton label.
Interestingly, while both women started their careers early, Upton found fame first. While Hannah may have been the next Kate Upton, she is also two years Upton’s senior. But fortunately, the two are fast friends and the former even received congrats from the latter on a big day.
