Lady Luck has been a faithful companion of Derek Jeter throughout his life. Although his successful career is because of his hard work, there’s no denying that a bit of good fortune has also played a role. Along the way, Jeter met the love of his life, and together they built a beautiful family.

However, fame is a double-edged sword. While it can bring a level of success, it can also bring with it a curse. In Jeter’s case, his personal life is fiercely protected, which suggests that fame is not something he embraces fully. His wife, Hannah, has shared similar concerns, particularly when it comes to the impact it may have on their children.

I just want them to set their own goals, and have nothing to do with us because I think it’s not fair,” she said.
