Upton shares Verlander's love
There's a lot more to Upton and Verlander's relationship.
Kate Upton has three dogs, but truth be told she’d like a lot more. “I would love to have 10 dogs,” the supermodel said. But it’s her boyfriend, Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, who has to reign in Upton’s enthusiasm.
“Justin is definitely an animal lover but he is definitely holding me back from my 10 dogs,” Upton said. “He is putting a three-dog limit on it.”
On Thursday, Upton will host the Grand Slam Adoption before the Tigers vs. Yankees spring training game at Marchant Stadium in Florida to raise awareness about shelter dogs.
“I’m a huge animal lover and I’ve always been,” Upton said. “So getting in and supporting a cause for adopting dogs and bringing awareness to how great shelter dogs are and how important animals are to bringing people together, for happiness and for healing, it was an obvious choice for me.”
There’s a lot more to Upton and Verlander’s relationship than just their love of dogs. The two have been together for three years.
“For us, we always try and work on our communication,” Upton said. “We’re very open with one another and we’re each other’s best friends. He’s definitely my best friend, so I think that helps a lot.”
