Kate Upton offered some clarification After sharing a post About a “drunk and high” dad that left fans terrified.
“Hey everyone, I posted a scary emergency on my story and I know a lot of you were worried,” Upton, 32, began in a Story post on Instagram on Monday, December 9. “But some people mistakenly thought the situation was related to my husband.”
The model continued and stated that she and her partner, Justin VerlanderThey share a daughter, but she is not the same age as the one in the original story. (the couple, who got married in 2017welcomed daughter Genevieve the following year.)
“To be clear: we do not have a 10-year-old. Our daughter is 6, and Justin would never have put her in such a frightening or life-threatening situation,” Upton continued. “He is a wonderful father whose unwavering priority is to ensure that our daughter is safe, loved and protected every day.”
In a second Instagram story, Upton pointed out that her original post was actually about her niece.

Upton concluded her update in a third post, writing, “My sister, Justine, and I are doing everything we can to protect her. My niece inspires me daily with her courage and resilience after dealing with a situation no child should have to endure.”
