Life is grand for Justin Verlander and Kate Upton.
The 33-year-old pitcher and 24-year-old model, engaged since May, have purchased a $5.4-million mansion in Beverly Hills, Calif., that has a pool and a tennis court, TMZ reports. The Los Angeles County house has five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
The spacious "gourmet chef's kitchen."
The broker, Hilton & Hylanad, posts 30 photos and describes the hillside property:
Champion tennis court estate steeped in Hollywood history. Impeccable East Coast country home – the epitome of Southern California indoor/outdoor living.
Gourmet chef’s kitchen, fantastic open living and family rooms with beamed ceilings and French doors opening to the grounds. Beautiful master suite with dual closets and baths, pitched ceiling and fireplace. 3 additional bedroom suites plus maid's room and massive bonus/office/studio room with separate entrance.
Fully gated and secure grounds in prime Benedict Canyon location.
Here's where you can send a congratulations card after they wed (no date announced yet) of for their birthdays (his is Feb. 20; she turns 25 next June 10):

► Update: Deadline reader Sandy Rochkind, commenting on our Facebook page, senses a possible connection between a Los Angeles County home purchase and this tweet three weeks ago by the well-sourced sports business reporter at Crain's Detroit Business:
I'm not plugged into the MLB trade channels, but a source who is connected to Verlander's camp told me the rumored Dodgers trade is brewing.
