The model also took time out of her schedule to be with her boyfriend. Right from their very first meeting, things clicked between Jeter and Hannah. They started getting serious about each other, and the supermodel decided to be there for her boyfriend during his last year as a baseball player. But to make it happen, she had to cut back on her career and the deals she had signed. However, in the end, it was all worth it. Because she ended up marrying the same guy a few years later.

What did Hannah Jeter say about joining Jeter during his last year?
Having not grown up as a baseball fan, Hannah knew little about baseball till she met Jeter. When she started dating him, she had only heard how people in NYC were crazy about the Yankees’ phenom. She never got the hype earlier. She couldn’t understand why they were so crazy about him. It was only until she accompanied the former shortstop during games in his last year as a baseball player.
“The next season — Derek’s last — I decided to travel to some of the games. My managers, at times, were not too happy with me; I canceled jobs left and right just to be present at those remaining games,” said Hannah in an article in the Player’s Tribune in 2017.
