The model Kate Upton and the Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander have splashed back into the real estate market with a waterfront property in Jupiter, FL. The couple dropped $6.55 million on the custom-built home, Dirt reported.
Built in 2015, the home had surfaced on the market in June for $6 million, and the couple appear to have paid over the asking to seal the deal.
Set on 1.25 acres with views of the Loxahatchee River, the gated property is minutes from waterfront restaurants and the Jupiter inlet.
