Kate Upton and Justin Verlander have welcomed their second child

The following day, 42-year-old baseball star Justin was placed on paternity leave by the San Francisco Giants.

The MLB's paternity leave policy allows players to step away for up to three games, barring any issues requiring a longer leave.

Kate and Justin already have six-year-old daughter Genevieve, known as 'Vivi', together.

The couple tied the knot in 2017, just days after Verlander won the World Series with the Houston Astros.

And, in 2019, he spoke about how fatherhood had impacted his career.

He told PEOPLE: "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," he explained. "Maybe if anything, it's going to push me to stay in shape and stay healthy, and be a good pitcher as long as I possibly can. I want her to be able to remember me on the field."

Kate has spoken about how alike Vivi and Justin are, telling PEOPLE last year that they are both "big rule followers," but she's not.

She went on: "She loves to dance and have a good time, and she loves to be in the moment. I think she gets that from me."
