Kate Upton and Justin Verlander enjoy romantic getaway in St Barts

Model Kate Upton put on a sizzling display as she enjoyed a sun-kissed getaway to St. Barts with her husband of five years, Justin Verlander, on Sunday.

The couple, who recently sold their Beverly Hills home to Timothee Chalamet for $11 million, were spotted frolicking in the ocean with friends while enjoying a day at the Gyp Sea Beach Club on Pelican Beach. 

All eyes were on Kate, 30, as the Sports Illustrated vet displayed her bikini body in a royal blue swimsuit whilst cuddling her MLB player husband, 39. 

She showered her husband with affection when she wasn’t dancing alongside her friends, lovingly clinging to the baseball pro as they enjoyed some quality time in the water.

The lovebirds couldn’t have looked any happier enjoying some quality time together in the romantic hotspot.  

Kate’s blue eyes were concealed behind a pair of fashionable, cat eyed frames, and she jazzed up the look with gold necklaces.

She displayed her backside as she bust a move in the ocean blue, her hands playfully thrown into the air as she soaked up the sunshine alongside her gal pals.

Her husband also beamed with happiness as he splashed around in the water. Justin has recently been making headlines after reportedly signing a $86m two-year contract with the New York Mets.

At one point, the friends gathered together to take a group photo in the water, with Kate and her husband taking center stage in the photo.

The duo were clearly having the time of their lives catching up with pals in one of the most beautiful locations in the world.

Kate and Justin tied the knot in Italy in 2017. Their daughter Genevieve was born in 2018.

The happy couple first crossed paths when working on the same commercial set for a Major League Baseball 2k12 video game in 2012.

One year later, Kate and Justin had officially begun dating, but called it quits later that same year. However, Kate and Justin decided to give their relationship another go, and reunited in The Bahamas in 2014.

Two years later, Justin popped the big question and asked the model and actress to marry him. 

Speaking with People shortly before tying the knot with the pitcher, Kate gushed, ‘Our relationship is my favorite thing about my life right now.’

The couple said ‘I do’ during a romantic Tuscan wedding in 2017, shortly after Justin won the World Series.

The professional baseball player also opened up to People about the big day, and explained, ‘It was a very special moment. It was pretty storybook. The moment the gates opened and I saw her walking down the aisle, I lost it.’

‘She looked so beautiful, and I had been looking forward to that day for a long time,’ he expressed as he reminisced on their ceremony. ‘All the emotions came to me, and it was everything I had imagined it would be and more.’

Earlier this year in July, Kate shared a special tribute to her husband on Instagram after his two-year break from playing baseball following his Tommy John (TJ) surgery on his elbow in late 2020.

‘Can I just take a moment and brag about my husband?’ the beauty wrote. ‘Justin had TJ surgery and had to step away from playing for almost 2 years. He has put in so much work to be where he is today…He is continuing to break records and hit new milestones in his career.’

The couple appear to be supportive of each other’s careers, and enjoy raising their daughter together.

‘I would like to be able to play long enough that my daughter can see me and remember me playing baseball when she grows older,’ Justin informed People when talking about fatherhood. ‘I want her to be able to remember me on the field.’
