Justin Verlander, the star pitcher for the Houston Astros, is gearing up for his second start of the MLB season against the Chicago Cubs. However, the spotlight is not just on him but also on his wife, Kate Upton, who is making waves as the new face of luxury brand Anne Klein.

Despite the Astros’ challenging start to the season with a record of 7-18 and sitting at the bottom of the AL West, Upton is shining in 2024. Recently, she took to Instagram to showcase her collaboration with Anne Klein, where she elegantly models the brand’s products. In the promotional video, Upton confidently states, ‘Typical? What’s my typical day like? I’m not sure I can answer that because I am not typical. Is any woman? The women I know and love, celebrate and admire don’t do typical, because they’re too busy being themselves and living life on their terms.’

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Upton delved deeper into her fashion philosophy, emphasizing functionality over mere fashion. As a New York resident and a mother, she values comfort and confidence in her clothing choices. Upton believes that when you feel comfortable in what you wear, it reflects in your demeanor.

Upton and Verlander share a five-year-old daughter named Genevieve, who seems to have inherited her mother’s flair for style. Upton proudly shared that Genevieve has a keen eye for fashion and often outshines her parents in the sartorial department. She expressed her joy in witnessing her daughter’s blossoming individuality and creative expression through her clothing choices.

As Justin Verlander prepares to face the formidable Chicago Cubs, the Astros’ struggles in the 2024 season have raised concerns among fans. The team, once considered World Series contenders, is now facing uncertainties. The upcoming game against the Cubs will be a test for Verlander and the Astros as they aim to turn their season around.
