Baseball legend Justin Verlander arrived at his final All-Star game in style alongside his stunning wife Kate Upton.
The 43-year-old announced earlier this month that he will retire from the sport at the end of the 2026 MLB season in an emotional social media statement.
Tuesday night’s All-Star game in Philadelphia marked the final one of the right-hander’s decorated career.
The Detroit Tigers star attended the Midsummer Classic, where he was honored on Tuesday, but did not pitch.
He was joined on the red carpet by his model wife and their two children, daughter Genevieve, 7, and son Bellamy, who was born last year, in a rare family outing.
Actress Upton, who married the pitching star in 2017, turned heads in an off-the-shoulder white minidress, showing off her tanned and toned legs.

Meanwhile, her pitcher husband kept it classic in a blue suit and crisp white shirt, opting to forgo a tie.
Genevieve matched her mom in a long white dress with puff sleeves, finishing the look with a white headband, while baby Bellamy looked adorable in brown overalls as his dad cradled him.
Verlander didn’t totally sit out the American League’s 4-0 win over the National League on Tuesday night.
Toronto manager John Schneider asked Verlander to address the team and share thoughts on the importance of the All-Star honor out of respect for the pitcher’s career.
‘You never know when you’re going to be in this position,’ Schneider said as he relayed Verlander’s message. ‘You have to appreciate the people along the way. He’s made lifelong friends from being in this game for so long.’
Verlander had more gas left in the pregame speech tank. He talked AL starter Dylan Cease out of throwing a changeup as the first pitch of the game and go with a heater against Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber.
Cease threw a 96.9-mph four-seam strike to Schwarber and struck out the side in the first inning.
‘He could be a politician,’ Cease said of Verlander.

Verlander will leave MLB following an career that has seen him become a 10-time All-Star
The lone disappointment of the evening for Verlander was that he unable to pitch in the game as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Verlander, the oldest player in Major League Baseball, signed a $13 million, one-year contract to rejoin the Tigers in February.
He has made only one start in an injury-ravaged season and was named to the All-Star team as a Legend Pick by Commissioner Rob Manfred. Phillies slugger Bryce Harper earned the honor in the National League.
Verlander’s American League went on to seal a 4-0 win over the National League with Yankees star Cody Bellinger earning MVP honors.
Verlander will leave MLB following an illustrious career that has seen him become a 10-time All-Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner and two-time World Series champion.
Over his 21 major league seasons, the right-hander has amassed a remarkable 266-159 win-loss record alongside a stellar 3.33 ERA across 556 career starts.
Verlander has also solidified his place among the game’s greatest power pitchers, recording 3,554 total strikeouts over 3,571.1 innings of work.
