Jeter is of Irish extraction but so is the love of his life,

The actress voted Sexiest Woman alive by Esquire Magazine in 2010 was in Yankee Stadium to see her beau break the 3,000 hits mark.

Minka keeps a low profile despite her fame and manages to avoid much of the paparazzi nonsense. She first sprang to fame in 'Friday Nights Lights'

She finally came to her senses. Go Red Sox!!
I think I'd be more curious about the rat's red ass.
her mother was a top less dancer ... Derek cannot embarrass his hard working honest parents by marrying her ... plus the prenup would have to be airtight because it will be a 50-50 chance like every marriage... He is about to become retired ballplayer Derek Jeter, she will keep be a working actor, she might be more famous in time if she gets lucky with a big hit tv series ... he will eventually marry someone with a low profile, who will be a good stay at home mom.
I do
Does ANYONE really give a rat's red ass?
