"I didn't see that one coming" - Looking back at the time when Derek Jeter's wife spilled the beans about a surprise marriage proposal from the HOFer
New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter and wife Hannah Davis have always been very private and hushed about their relationship, which began when they first met in 2012.
After dating for 3 years, Derek confirmed his engagement to Hannah Davis in a blog post on The Players Tribune. The article was supposed to revolve around Jeter’s new dog Kane, but things took a wild turn when he referred to Hannah as his “fiance.” Kane was also a gift from Hannah to Derek.
"I had no idea what I was in for as a new dog owner," Derek wrote. "He was a Christmas gift last year from my fiancée, whose family had Mastiffs growing up. I've never owned a pet in my life."
Hannah proudly showed off her ring a few days later at the CMA Awards. She, along with Jeter, walked down the red carpet where all eyes were on them. She confirmed the engagement from her side when she sat down with "Extra's" Charissa Thompson at Universal Studios Hollywood. She spoke on the surprise proposal she received from retired New York Yankees star Derek Jeter.
