Kate Upton and MLB star Justin Verlander tie knot in Italy

Kate Upton and Justin Verlander have tied the knot.

The 25-year-old model got married to the baseball star in a romantic ceremony in Italy on Saturday.

The happy news for the pair comes just days after Justin, 34, helped the Houston Astros triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers to win their first World Series in Game 7.

The big day: Kate Upton and Justin Verlander are reportedly getting married this weekend in Italy topping off an historic week

Kate had previously revealed how she finds wedding planning ‘super stressful’.

She said to Entertainment Tonight: ‘The whole thing is really stressful … Ultimately,​ you think whenever you’re getting married that your wedding is just going to be this magical moment and people just show up. Later you realize, ‘Oh, I have to pick out everything and I’m planning this,’ and that’s the sucky part… It’s gonna be a good date no matter what. As long as we’re surrounded by friends and family… They’re so many dresses and designers it’s been fun to look around. I’m excited to finalize everything.’

When Justin and Kate got engaged last year, the baseball star was keen to create a ‘one-of-a-kind’ engagement ring that resembled their ‘exceptional’ love.

Jeweller Anita Ko shared: ‘Justin and I collaborated on creating the most perfect one-of-a-kind ring that is rare and of exceptional quality… just like their love.’

Whilst Kate added of the engagement: ‘He asked me right before the [baseball] season started, so we’ve been keeping it on the down low for quite a while, so I’m excited to finally be able to share it with the world.’ 

And she let her excitement overflow when the Astros pitcher got a big kiss from Kate after his team clinched a Game 7 win against the LA Dodgers on Wednesday.

And the celebrations will continue as the duo are apparently jetting to Europe for a picturesque wedding in Tuscany.

A source told UsWeekly earlier in the week that Kate already had her dress sorted and brought her bridesmaids to ‘a shower and final dress fitting’ in New York in late October.

The model’s sisters, Christie and Laura, are set to serve as bridesmaids, according to the site. 

Kate also revealed in May that she wanted her dress to be ‘classic with a sexy twist’ and was confident that whatever she chose, her beau would definitely approve of it.

‘Justin is so supportive and I don’t think that he would honestly have a strong opinion in that way. He’s a lover, not a judger.’

Kate had previously said she was considering wearing more than one dress on her wedding day, telling Entertainment Tonight: ‘I like it all, so maybe [I’ll have] multiple dresses.

‘Maybe a nice long sleeve, and then also the big tulle one,’ she said.  

The couple – who have been dating since early 2014 – announced their engagement at the 2016 Met Gala after keeping it under wraps for a few months.

Justin presented the Sports Illustrated beauty with a ring designed by himself and jeweler Anita Ko. 

Kate discussed her wedding plans in February revealing that she was focusing on ‘fun, party, tequila and food,’.

And in May she told Martha Stewart Weddings that floral arrangements at the wedding were a huge priority for her.

‘I don’t know what [kind or florals] I’ll have for the wedding day yet. I just know I want a lot of flowers,’ she said.

‘And I know I want the petals already down by the time my niece, who will be my flower girl, walks down the aisle.’
