In an interview with Health Magazine earlier this year, Hannah spoke about what made Derek such a great guy.
“You want to find someone who is way better than you, or you think so. You’re like, ‘This person is gonna bring out the best in me, and I’m gonna be a way better person this year.'”
The couple welcomed their first child in 2017, and their second in 2019. Hannah said her extreme devotion to her kids sometimes frustrated her husband.
"I'm so deeply connected and attached to [my daughters], I don't like to leave them," she told the magazine. "My husband gets mad at me, because he wants to go on vacation sometimes, and I'm like, great! Let's take the kids!"
"Great to be back home at Yankee Stadium! Thanks to everyone for making it such a special night for me and my family. The girls had a blast and finally got their ice cream." - Derek Jeter, Instagram

Jeter made it very clear that he couldn’t have made it this far without the unconditional love and support from his wife.
“We've been through so much over the past five years. You're the strongest person I know, which I'm sure you're gonna say is required when you're dealing with me," he continued. "You're thoughtful, you're caring, you've been an incredible wife and even more amazing mother."
He mentioned his daughters too, saying that being a father is a dream of its own.
"You know, this day puts an exclamation point on my playing career, which was my first dream," he said, addressing his girls. "Through you all, with you all, I'm living another one."
With plenty of open road in his life post his retirement, Jeter plans to make the most of his time with his family.
