Justin Verlander and Kate Upton have lasted longer than just about anyone would have guessed.

Now that the two are engaged, they seem to be inseparable on social media. Earlier this week, the couple posted a pic from what looked like an Olan Mills-type photo shoot. The only things missing were a cat on her shoulder and matching sweaters.

Some wonder how she got him to do that. I say: Listen, Kate Upton could ask me to jump off a bridge and odds are I would stutter and stammer in my rush to say yes.

On July 20, one of Upton's friends and Sports Illustrated swimsuit alum, Chrissy Teigen, tweeted the following.

If this isn't the dumbest and most random s*** I have ever heard lmao @kateupton

The article says, "Sports Illustrated stunners Chrissy Teigen and Kate Upton were once as thick as thieves, but according to an insider, the 24-year-old blonder bombshell's fiance, MLB pitcher Justin Verlander, has caused the women's BFF-ship to sour, "Justin's arrogant and doesn't click with Chrissy's husband, John [Legend], who's a more understated guy," the insider explains, "And John doesn't find Justin's crass locker-room humor funny."

Verlander was quick to respond with, "@chrissyteigen Whewww... Glad you cleared this up! I was worried someone I haven't met yet hated me. ???????? @KateUpton @johnlegend #tabloidbs."

Kate Upton wrote the tweet that really had me laughing, though: "Justin dislikes my locker room humor lol ????."

After seeing the tweets, it appears that Upton and Teigen are still "thick as thieves." And thank God for that.
