Kate Upton is a bombshell, no doubt. See photos of the model in honor of her birthday here.
Kate Upton has been one of America’s most recognizable models for more than a decade. Born on June 10, 1992, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit icon first rose to fame with her breakout appearances in the magazine before becoming a global fashion and pop culture star. She has since expanded her career with acting roles, major brand campaigns and countless red carpet appearances.
While Kate initially became known for her stunning swimsuit and lingerie shoots, she’s also proven herself as a style chameleon, effortlessly transitioning from glamorous runway looks to sophisticated red carpet fashion. Over the years, her confidence and evolving sense of style have kept her firmly in the spotlight.
Away from the cameras, Kate is a devoted mom and wife. She shares daughter Genevieve and son Bellamy Brooks with her husband, MLB pitcher Justin Verlander, whom she married in 2017. The couple welcomed their second child in June 2025, expanding their family of four.
