2. They enjoy basketball: Verlander posted photos from the private jet that he took to a Cleveland Cavaliers game earlier this year, and then Upton shared a photo of herself, Verlander and CC Sabathia watching court-side.

3. They go home for the holidays: In a private jet, with their dogs. \"With Harley headed back to VA for turkey day. My man Riley is waiting for us at the house. #bestfriends,\" Verlander wrote. (Verlander grew up in Virginia, while Upton is a Michigan native.) It seems Upton went with him, as she also posted a photo of their dogs during the holiday, captioning it, \"Hope everyone is as relaxed as these 2 this year for thanksgiving! #happythanksgiving.\"
The rest of the holiday seemed to be pretty traditional, however, with Verlander sharing a photo of his cooked turkey and, shortly thereafter, a picture of his father who split his pants at dinner.
4. They go to football games: And also, the Super Bowl. Where they sat in a private suite.
5. They cook for each other: Verlander apparently tried to make his girlfriend pizza earlier this year, but failed miserably. However, he made up for it in a big way, whipping up a trio of delicacies. \"Bon appetit @kateupton,\" he next to a photo of the food. \"#rosemarychicken #tomatobasilshrimp #filetmediumrare #chefverlander\" (There's a strong possibility he catered that in, right?)
