The website of MLB star « The Players’ Tribune » announced the news on Saturday afternoon on Twitter, surprising fans who had no idea what to expect.
« Congratulations Derek and @hannahbjeter on the birth of your little girl River Rose Jeter, born Thursday, December 2nd, » the tweet reads.
Hannah, 31, was seen just three months ago with her two eldest daughters Bella, 4 and Story, 2 at the Jeter National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The Sports Illustrated model didn’t appear pregnant at the event, which led some to believe they welcomed their latest bundle of joys over a surrogate mother.
Jeter dedicated part of his Hall of Fame speech to his daughters and wife Hannah, who the superstar married in 2016.
Congratulations Derek and @hannahbjeter on the birth of their little girl River Rose Jeter, born on Thursday December 2nd.
« To my girls Hannah, Bella and Story: This day marks my career as a player who was my first dream, « said Jeter on stage. « Through all of you and with all of you I live a different life. »
The former shortstop also took the time to address his daughters directly with a message that will certainly also apply to his newborn.
« Bella and Story: I want you to know that your father was far from perfect, » said Jeter. “I’ve made my fair share of mistakes on and off the field. But in everything I tried to do the right thing. I found something I was passionate about and I worked harder than anyone else. I haven’t taken any shortcuts to get there.
“I have no regrets in my career other than not having had the opportunity to share it with you. What I’m going to share is my story. Most of it won’t be what I achieved in the field. It will be the lessons I learned from it. I hope I always make you proud. «
