Hannah Davis gave birth to a baby girl on Thursday! She and husband Derek Jeter are now the proud parents of daughter Bella Raine Jeter.
The joyous news was announced on Friday via the Twitter account for The Playersâ Tribune, which Jeter founded. âCongratulations Derek and @hannahbjeter on the birth of your baby girl, Bella Raine Jeter, born Thursday, Aug. 17,â the company posted. At this time, neither Davis nor Jeter has publicly commented.
As Gossip Cop reported, it was revealed in February that Davis was expecting her first child with the former baseball player. The model announced the baby news in a column called âThe Derek I Knowâ on The Playersâ Tribune, which is a sports-focused website. In the piece, she wrote, âNow, pregnant with our first child, Derek and I are looking to the future.â
Davis continued, âWe want our kidsâ lives to be as ânormalâ as possible. Theyâre going to be born into such an extraordinary situation. Theyâre going to have to be some strong little people. We donât want them to be defined by their dadâs name â for them, we want him to just be âDad.'â Still, she amusingly added, âAnd if they want to play baseball, well, weâre gonna have a little talk first.â
In May, Jeter received amusing fatherhood advice from pal Jimmy Fallon on an episode of the âTonight Show.â The sportsman told the audience, âJimmyâs got two daughters, so Iâm trying to get some advice from him.â Fallon asked Jeter what he wanted the babyâs first word to be. âWe want it to be dad. Dada,â Jeter admitted, but Fallon advised, âThis is the thing, hereâs the deal: Because you donât think itâs a competition. And Hannah will say, âOh, no, Iâd like the baby to say dada. Iâm cool with it.â Itâs a trick, itâs a trick! Everyone wants the baby to say mama.â
The talk show host also told Jeter that Davis, who accompanied her husband to the taping, was âglowingâ and looked beautiful, prompting the athlete to remark, âYou need to tell her that, because every time I say it, she says Iâm lying.â The couple, who began dating in 2012, tied the knot in 2016 at the Meadowood Napa Valley Resort in St. Helena, California. The news of their engagement was revealed in 2015 when Jeter used the word âfianceeâ on his website to refer to Davis. Gossip Cop wishes the couple many years of health and happiness with their growing family!
