Story Grey Jeter is the second child of legendary former MLB shortstop Derek Jeter and his wife, the esteemed model and "Project Runway: Junior" host Hannah Davis.

Story Grey Jeter is one of the four children of her parents. She was born into a world of fame and admiration, and her parents are acutely aware of the challenges of growing up in the public eye.

Despite her parents' fame and success, Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis Jeter understand the importance of creating a balanced and grounded upbringing for their kids and want them to have as normal a childhood as possible.

Story Grey Jeter was born in January 2019, and she is the second of Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis's four children. The couple married in 2016 and welcomed their first child, Bella, in August 2017.

The Jeter family grew again when River Rose was born in December 2021, making Story a big sister. On May 5, 2023, Derek announced the arrival of the couple's first son, Kaius Green Jeter.

Story's dad is a retired MLB player, a Hall of Famer, and a legend for New York Yankees fans; her mom is a famous model, a Sports Illustrated cover girl, and a TV presenter.

Story Grey Jeter: The Second Child in Her Family

Hannah Davis and Derek Jeter met in 2012. The model was having dinner with her mother in New York when a mutual friend introduced her to the shortstop. Hannah confessed:

"I don't think I realized the full magnitude of his career — of everything — until I went to Yankee Stadium for the season opener in April. You have to understand: Up to that point, I'd only really known him as Derek, this great guy I was dating."

Two years later, Derek retired, and the couple married on July 9, 2016, in Meadowood Napa Valley Resort in St. Helena, California. Hannah wore a stunning halter-neck Vera Wang gown and carried a delicate bouquet of white flowers.

Bella was born a year and a month after Derek and Hannah's wedding, and Story arrived in 2019. Shortly after Story's birth, Derek spoke about what fatherhood meant to him. He revealed:

"You always hear people say, 'Wait until you have your own kids,' but it really is true. I couldn't be happier. I've been blessed to have two beautiful daughters, and I'm looking forward to seeing them grow each and every day."

Story Grey Jeter's Parents Want Her to Have a Normal Life

Story's parents are very protective, so she is seldom seen on their Instagram accounts. One of her few public appearances was at her dad's Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with her mom and her two sisters.

Hannah and Derek have deliberately avoided exposing their children to public scrutiny, and this was a decision made long before their birth. Hannah said:

"We want our kids' lives to be as 'normal' as possible. They're going to be born into such an extraordinary situation. They're going to have to be some strong little people. We don't want them to be defined by their dad's name."

Story and Her Sister Changed Their Mom's Life

For Hannah, who started modeling when she was 14 and had a hectic life with a demanding career, becoming a mother was a transformative experience. She confessed:

"I hardly can identify with the person I was before all this. I've learned so much about myself in the last few years — how to be selfless, how to overcome adversity. I've found strength in myself that I never knew existed."

Story's mom was raised on the Caribbean island of St.Thomas, and she makes sure her children spend lots of time playing, doing puzzles, and communing with nature, with no electronic devices or gadgets in sight. Hanna explained:

"We've sort of taken technology out of it. I grew up in a small community; my mom was a teacher, and we had lots of arts and crafts going on. I think I raise my kids just how my mom raised me — being outside with nature and animals."

Story and her siblings have two committed and involved parents actively engaged in their upbringing. Not long ago, Derek shared a rare and precious moment on social media, where he was seen getting his nails done by Story and her older sister Bella. The Jeter family is happy and going strong.
