Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander and wife Kate Upton's relationship has been well documented through the years, beginning when they met while filming a commercial for a video game.

They started dating in 2014, though they tried to keep things private.

Recently, Verlander told Bleacher Report that when he was dealing with injuries and struggles, having Upton in his life might have saved it.
