It all makes sense now—Derek Jeter is dating a Genie.
The 38-year-old Yankees shortstop was seen out and about eating at New York's Spotted Pig restaurant in the West Village recently with rumored girlfriend, Hanna Davis, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and the much-talked-about DirectTV genie from the company's latest advertisements.
Davis, 22, recently appeared with her new bathing suit beauties on David Letterman and will appear in Sports Illustrated's upcoming swimsuit issue for the first time. The fashion model, who is originally from Saint Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, also works with the Ralph Lauren fragrance Ralph Rocks and has modeled for Victoria's Secret, American Eagle, Tommy Hillfiger and Levi's. She is the next in line of a long list of famous ex-girlfriends for the Yankees captain, which includes the likes of Mariah Carey and Minka Kelly just to name a few. The couple was reportedly having a "cozy meal" that looked like a date, as the NY Post reported. The two may not be public about their romance, but Jeter has never been one to be very open about his private dating life.
His last reported girlfriend, actress Minka Kelly, dated the superstar ballplayer for three years and the two were rumored to have been engaged, but the former "Friday Night Lights" star has since moved on.
Jeter, who is recovering from a broken left ankle he injured during last season's playoffs, is reportedly expected to return from injury in time for the team's start to the 2013 season, according to ESPN. "I'm right where I'm supposed to be up until this point. The ankle has healed perfectly. Now, it is just a matter of getting everything else in shape. You have to wait for the bone to heal before you can do other activity."
It sure seems like all his wishes have come true.
What do you think of the new couple? Should Jeter have tried harder to work things out with his former beau Kelly? Comment below.
