MLB: Media: Media: Verlander-Upton marriage imminent

Astros pitcher Justin Verlander and supermodel Kate Upton want to finally dare to marry after winning the World Series: As American media report, the couple wants to marry in Italy next weekend. Verlander would even skip the Astros’ master parade.

For the first time in franchise history, the Houston Astros have won the World Series, and it took seven games to win the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Pitcher Justin Verlander, who came to the Astros from Detroit only last summer, also played a major role in this development. Always by his side in the last few months: His fiancée, supermodel Kate Upton.

The wedding date has now been fixed: as PEOPLE magazine wants to know, the wedding ceremony is scheduled for this weekend in Italy, just a few days after the title was won. This means that Verlander will miss the Astros Master Parade in Houston, which will be held on Friday and will end in front of the Houston City Hall.

The 34-year-old Verlander had recently admitted that Upton had taken away the last doubts about moving to Houston in the summer. His contract with the Astros runs for another two years.

Incidentally, Verlander is not the only player to crown his World Series ring with another ring: Carlos Correa proposed his girlfriend on the pitch immediately after Game 7.
