Derek Jeter, Minka Kelly to Tie the Knot

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 11th 2010 07:45AM

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and 'Friday Night Lights' star Minka Kelly are set to tie the knot, The New York Post reports.

According to the Post, Jeter and Kelly have set a November wedding date and will have the ceremony at the same place Kevin Jonas recently wed -- a castle on Long Island.

Jeter has been linked to several Hollywood starlets, including Vanessa Minnillo, Mariah Carey and Jessica Biel.

Kelly previously dated John Mayer.

So how did the brunette beauty tame Jeter?

"She is clearly devoted to him. She goes to probably every game of his that her schedule allows. Being a celebrity herself, she'll understand the pressures of fame," Bonnie Fuller, Editor-in-Chief of HollywoodLife.com explains to PopEater.

"It's helpful when you're as under the spotlight as Derek Jeter is, to have a girlfriend who does understand what that's like," Fuller adds. "[Minka] both understands what it's like to have to deal with the interest of fans and what it's like to have to cope with paparazzi and having a very public life as well as private life. Not everybody can cope with that and is also comfortable with the spotlight."

As for Kelly, Fuller believes it's easy to see why she would marry him. "He's got a great reputation. There's no black splotches of concern about infidelities with former girlfriends ... he's got a spotless record."

Don't worry if he loved her that much he wouldn't wait all the way until November at which time they will probably be broken up anyway. The Hollywood couples only last a minute anyway. I think they are all so nasty. Everybody sleeping with all the same people. It's like one big orgy, they just all keep passing one another around. Yuck!

By jaddeyez

everybody f--ks everybody in hollywood.if she wants to marry a guy that's been with at least a hundred women we don't know about that's her problem.all she is seeing is the money,and wait till he slips so she can collect.the schemmers call this an insurance policy.

By PEPPA

IT'S NATURAL FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT HIS VAST WEALTH.... I DON'T THINK HE'S STUPID BY ANY MEANS.
HE WAS BROUGHT UP PROPERLY...
BEST WISHES FROM AN AVID YANKEE FAN.

HE WILL HAVE AN IRON CLAD PRE-NUP FOR SURE. MOMMA & POPPA WILL ADVISE HIM, I'M SURE.

AFTER ALL .... HE WAS THE ONE WHO AMASSED HIS FORTUNE... IT SHOULD BELONG TO HIM.... AND ONLY HIM, SHOULD THINGS GO SOUR.

I second that--Derek Jeter is no dummy--he will have a pre nup. Good luck to them both!

Why are you acting like you KNOW how he was brought up? His parents could be money grubbing idiots. He has a huge fortune but she has a career and some change of her own. At least you kniw she's not wasting hers on stripper tips.
