Derek Jeter spent 20 years playing baseball in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. The Jersey-born and Michigan-raised shortstop wowed crowds for decades with his athletic prowess, easy smile and sheer love of the game. The team captain stepped away from the game following the 2014 baseball season not because he was too old to play, or that his star power was no longer on the rise, but because he simply felt it was time to move on and move on he has. Since his last professional baseball start, Derek Jeter has been building businesses, investing in an MLB team, and starting a family.

Who is Derek Jeter married to?

Derek Jeter is married to Hannah Jeter. The pair is notoriously low-key about their relationship. Derek and Hannah were first linked together as a couple in 2012. They were spotted out on the town in Tampa in March 2012 but were not captured together again until August 2012. While everyone would love to know how the couple met, they aren’t telling.

While the family still owns the Tampa mansion, they have been spending the majority of their time in Miami. Derek made the move to be closer to the Miami Marlins, the MLB team he purchased with a group of 16 investors.
