Former New York Yankees star Derek Jeter is speaking out about how he handled rumors about his personal life. This week, the 48-year-old Hall of Famer appeared on ‘The Eli Manning Show’ to talk with the former New York Giants quarterback about his time as one of the city’s biggest stars and to add a few details about NFL legend Tom Brady’s current dating life.

Similar to how Derek Jeter was during his time with the New York Yankees, Tom Brady is currently a significant part of all gossip websites and publications.
How he handled news published by several renowned publications was made clear by the ESPN biopic about his life. Like Tom Brady is doing right now, Derek Jeter developed a love/hate relationship with many news publications.
Derek Jeter spoke about Tom Brady’s current situation
Derek Jeter discussed his relationship with several publications in a recent episode of “The Eli Manning Show.” Unintentionally, he brought up Tom Brady’s current predicament into the conversation.
Jeter claims that many of the stories that surface about several athletes are false. An athlete must learn to hold his tongue and refuse to mention these rumors. Examples like the conflict between Tom Brady and Antonio Brown serve as daily reminders of this.
The only reason Tom Brady is relevant in this story is because he is the athlete who is currently receiving the most attention from tabloids. Jeter’s words wouldn’t be significant to him if his private life wasn’t such a significant point of interest.
Over the years, Jeter has dated famous people like Mariah Carey or Minka Kelly, but he almost always tried to keep everything private. Further, he said: “Additionally, gossip magazines have a lot of information on you because you got married earlier than I did. I will never, ever say anything unfavourable about the gossip pages.”
Jeter was officially embedded in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in September during a ceremony held at Yankee Stadium. He was also the subject of the ESPN docuseries ‘The Captain,’ in which he talked about what it was like to be retired.
