Model Kate Upton’s Mother’s Day wish list: bikinis, teapots, vodka water

Kate Upton has gorgeously graced the covers of Vo𒐪gue, Elle and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

But the most beautiful lesson she’s learned as a mom to Genevieve (her 5-year-old daughter with her pro-baseball player husband, Justin Verlander) is “the meaning of🌠 absolute unconditional love,” Upton, 31, tells Alexa. “I also learned it’s possible to be unequivocally willing to die for someone, but also be willing to bribe them with treats for two minutes of silence!”

For the supermodel mama — who is a co-owner of Vosa Spirits — Mother’s Day usually includes a picnic, beach walk or brunch with the family. One of her most cherished possessions is “a noodle necklace Genevieve crafted last year, accompanied by a handmade card th𓂃at still sits by my bedside,” shares Upton, who will soon be hosting “Dress My Tour,” a fashion competition series for Hulu.

Her advice for other moms? “Take care of yourself first so that you’re able to take care of everyone around you! The best way to do that is to prioritize sleep, self-care and healthy nutrition.” Here are other gifts the beauty thinks any mom wouඣld lik🌞e to be showered with on her special day.
