Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander’s wife Kate Upton once denied that she was dating the All-Star and tried to keep their relationship under wraps. In a 2013 interview with Fox News 2, Upton denied being in a relationship.

Host Jason Carr probed Upton about her relationship, first stating that her vacation with Verlander in St. Thomas was "beautiful and amazing."

“Beautiful and amazing is how I would describe St. Thomas where you went with your boyfriend Justin Verlander on vacation," he said.

When Carr asked Upton about her wedding plans, the model said:

"Actually, I'm single right now, so I spent my holiday in Melbourne.”
