MLB legend Derek Jeter needs no introduction. The former shortstop established such a name for himself that even years after retirement, he’s still being talked about. After serving a twenty-season career with the New York Yankees, Jeter hung up his uniform in 2014. Since then, the five-time World Series champion has invested himself in more familial pursuits.

After marrying model Hannah Davis in 2016, whom he met in 2012, Jeter has become a family man. And after a brief stint as the CEO of the Miami Marlins, the 48-year-old has yet to dip his toes into business again. Now a father of three kids, Jeter loves being a girl dad. Even though his toddlers sometimes give him a hard time, the retired athlete could not seem more proud as a parent.

Derek Jeter calls his time with his daughters controlled chaos

Jeter recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after six years, and the two chatted quite a bit about Jeter’s life. One of the first things Fallon asked his friend was how he was faring with his daughters. While Jeter jokingly thanked Jimmy for taking his time inviting him back to the show, he also talked fondly about his girls.

“Controlled chaos is the best way to put it…they do my nails, toenails, makeup, lipstick. And you know, it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever experienced though. I mean my girls are – they’re the absolute best,” the former Yankee told Fallon.

As the audience clapped for him, Jeter humorously said he was dreading their teenage years because that’s when they turn rebellious. And thirteen years is the age when they start hating parents in general. But Fallon reassured him it was just a rumor.

Jeter’s daughters once gave him a heartwarming Father’s Day present

Captain Clutch has fully settled into his role as a parent, including posting about his kids on social media. Jeter was known for keeping his personal life mostly private during his playing years, but things seem to be changing now. A few years ago he made his social media debut and his wife, Hannah, welcomed him in a hilarious manner. Now the former shortstop regularly posts about his daughter’s antics on his Twitter and Instagram.

My tryst with sports was accidental, but what followed was nothing short of a pursuit of excellence. Having penned over 1,500 articles, I've written about and edited pieces on the key figures ES regularly features across sports like MLB, Tennis, and WNBA. Some of my favorite athletes include Shohei Ohtani, Derek Jeter, Roger Federer, Coco Gauff, A'ja Wilson, and Caitlin Clark. From New York to Los Angeles, I've covered articles spanning all 50 states that have been recognized as Editor's Picks on multiple occasions. Other than ball sports, I also occasionally pick up a bow and arrow and engage in friendly archery games. When not covering news of the court or hitting the bull's eye with my arrows, I love to indulge in my love for literature. I agree with what Jane Austen said, “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” I also enjoy reading about morally gray characters and talking about them on my bookstagram!
