Kate Upton told off for trying to make glum boyfriend smile
Supermodel Kate Upton was reprimanded by her baseball star beau Justin Verlander for trying to cheer him up before a big game.
The 22-year-old Sports Illustrated model thought that she'd be a tonic for her glum boyfriend, who is the star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, and so she started telling him jokes.
She says, "He didn't tell me before, so he'd seem like he was in a
bad mood before he pitched, so I'd be like, 'Joke, joke, joke,
joke, joke,' trying to cheer him up. And then he got mad at me. He
was like, 'Stop making me laugh! I'm trying to be angry'."
Upton admits the romance has led to problems at her beloved Yankees
Stadium - and she has been told she cannot wear Tigers caps or gear
there.
She explains, "I'm sleeping with the enemy... and the Yankees told
me, 'You're not allowed to wear a Tigers hat. You're not allowed to
wear any Tigers gear'. It's like a bad break-up."
Upton wore all white when she attended Verlander's Tigers game at
Yankees Stadium last week (04Aug14).
