According to multiple reports, Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander is finally ready to make an honest woman of the bubbly and busty Kate Upton. The 33-year-old pitcher and 23-year-old model have been dating for going on three years.

Though the pair have been engaged since prior to the start of the current MLB season when Verlander proposed, Upton officially made her marital status public on the red carpet at the 2016 Met Gala.

The Gala is usually all about the gown, but this year for Upton it was all about the bling. Sporting a massive bauble designed by Verlander himself, his future Mrs. was thrilled to be sharing the big news.

“I’m really excited, he asked me right before the season started so we’ve been keeping it on the down low for quite awhile,” Upton said of the engagement. “So I’m really excited to finally be able to share it with the world!”

That’s not to say we should expect a wedding anytime soon. Upton says the they’re in no hurry to rush down the aisle and want to savor the post-engagement, pre-wedding bliss before jumping into the planning stage.
