When Derek Jeter's wife Hannah Jeter shed light on the rationale behind having life outside marriage
In a December 2015 GQ interview with Longtime staffer/editor Sarah Ball, New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter's wife, Hannah Jeter, stressed the importance of personal space in marriage.
Back then, Derek and Hannah already confirmed their engagement.
The conversation rolled when the interviewer asked Mrs. Jeter why the Hall of Famer is concerned about the operation of The Players' Tribune when he has the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed life with his retirement funds in his plush home.
Apparently, Jeter's involvement in starting The Players' Tribune in October 2014 was driven by his desire to create a platform where athletes could share their stories, perspectives, and insights directly with fans, without the filter of traditional media.
Being a quick-witted woman, Hannah's response was on point.
“That girl in high school that spent every waking moment with the boyfriend and lost all her girlfriends?! That's not what life's about,” she said. “You have family and friends for a reason! You can't leave that in the dust. And your partner should agree with that and want the same things for himself.”

Seven months later, the pair tied the knot on 9 July 2016 at the Meadowood Napa Valley Resort in St. Helena, California. They've since welcomed four children together: Bella Raine, Story Grey, River Rose, and Kaius Green.
