Did Derek Jeter trade baseball for domestic bliss? It could be, according to TMZ.
Derek Jeter retiring: Nike tips their hat to him in 90-second ad
Derek Jeter played his last game for the New York Yankees and retired from professional baseball last weekend, so maybe he’s just having a retirement party. Then again, maybe he’s not.
TMZ reports the MLB star is planning one heck of a bash. He’s booked Long Island’s historic Oheka Castle, where scenes from the 1941 classic film Citizen Kane were filmed. He’s also booked some high-end vendors, according to TMZ, who will be throwing a “Derek Jeter event.” What might that event be?
ESPN’s Skip Bayless: Aging Derek Jeter juices
Sources are split, TMZ reports. Some say it’s just your average giant retirement party for one of the biggest baseball stars alive. Others say it’s a surprise wedding.
Jeter has been dating swimsuit model and St. Thomas native Hannah Davis for several years. The two haven’t publicly announced an engagement — or any other recent relationship developments, for that matter — but they’ve historically been pretty private about all aspects of their relationship.
And, reportedly, Davis was spotted out on a Starbucks run about this time last year wearing what looked like a diamond engagement ring, even though keeping that on the down-low for an entire year would be quite the feat.
According to People, Jeter’s reps and reps for the venue didn’t return requests for comment, while a spokesperson for Davis declined to comment on the possibility of upcoming nuptials.

Time to place your bets. Is Derek Jeter’s upcoming bash just a retirement celebration? Or are there wedding bells in Jeter’s very near future? Tell us your take in the comments.
UPDATE: This rumor is… false! Jeter and Davis spent the weekend in New York City and were spotted at the Conrad New York hotel on Saturday night and a neighborhood Starbucks Sunday — definitely not Oheka Castle. And they definitely were not wearing wedding bands.
