Family time on the diamond Derek Jeter Hannah Jeter (née Davis) tend to keep a low profile as they raise their three daughters, but they decided to make the former athlete’s National Baseball Hall of Fame induction a family affair.
The 48-year old retired shortstop celebrated his long and successful career in Major League Baseball on Friday, September 9, at Yankee Stadium, during the rescheduled Hall of Fame ceremony. Hannah, 32, wore a black jumpsuit to celebrate her man and stood side by side with their three daughters.
The model and Derek are proud parents of three daughters, Bella Raine, 5, Story Grey (3-3), and River Rose (9 months). On Friday, the three little girls — all in matching ivory dresses — were photographed at their dad’s former stadium, cheering on his achievement.
“I was born in New Jersey. I was born in Kalamazoo. I live now down in Miami,” the former Yankee told attendees in his speech, per ESPN. “But right here in front of you, with you, is where I really feel like I’m at home.”
He continued: “When the crowd was chanting my name, I was trying to explain to my two oldest, obviously not the 9-month old, but I was trying to explain to them what was going on because I thought they may be a little scared or intimidated by the noise. … I told you this place was special.”
While Derek gushed about his MLB tenure in his speech, Bella and Story struggled to stay in their seats — which meant they wouldn’t get a post-appearance ice cream treat. “They lost a deal,” he joked on Friday after his eldest girls jumped around on the stage.
