from www.associatedcontent.com – New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is the boyfriend (and rumored fiancé) of Friday Night Lights and Parenthood actress Minka Kelly, who was recently named the sexiest woman alive in an article by Esquire Magazine.

Like Jeter, Kelly has a wholesome, attractive and clean cut reputation, but in the light of the Esquire article and accompanying photo spread, as well as a report this week listing a porn star as one of Jeter’s former girlfriends, is there more than meets the eye with this famous couple?

Derek Jeter is beloved by Yankees fans and respected by most all baseball fans, even if they root hard against him and the Yankees. His is the whole package, both on and off the field, as he has been one of the best offensive shortstops of all time, has won five World Series rings in fifteen seasons with the Yankees, and has conducted himself as a class act both on and off the field.

A handsome man, Jeter has been New York City’s most eligible bachelor throughout his playing career, and yet he has had nary hint of off the field scandal. He has dated a long list of beautiful and famous actresses, singers and models, including model Adriana Lima, actresses Jessica Alba, Jordana Brewster and Jessica Biel, as well as singer Mariah Carey. None have ever spoken badly, at least publicly, about their time with the Yankee captain.

Jeter’s relationship with Kelly seems to be the most serious of any that the public was aware of. Fiercely protective of his privacy, Jeter rarely was even photographed with any of his former flames, but Kelly has been seen on the Yankee Stadium field with Jeter and photographed in a box at Yankee Stadium with his parents.

For a guy who rarely reveals much at all about his personal life, it would seem likely that he’d like his girlfriend, and potential wife perhaps, to do the same. Kelly, however, is pictured in scantily clad and provocative poses and Esquire article. In the article itself, she reveals that her mother was a stripper and that she used to work for a doctor as down payment for breast implants, though she ultimately decided not to get them.

While there was nothing inherently scandalous about what she did and said, these sorts of revelations and public displays would seem out of character for Jeter. Or would they? Is Jeter’s squeaky clean image deservedly
so or would his off the field activities make many blush?

Earlier this week, the New York Daily News, in advance of the Yankees participation in the playoffs, featured an online feature showing a number of women that have dated Jeter and other Yankees.

Among them was porn star Cassia Riley [pictured]. Last year, as the Tiger Woods scandal was coming to a head, it was reported that the mistress that started it all, Rachel Uchitel, actually met Woods at a party at Derek Jeter’s house…and that she and Jeter had dated as well. In fact, one of the leaked texts from Woods described him having a arousing dream in which Uchitel was having a threesome with Jeter and another former boyfriend.

Another under-reported story in recent years concerning Jeter was porn star Jessica [sic] Jameson’s claim in her autobiography that Jeter tried to seduce her at a party before she left him for Joe Montana.

Now, Derek Jeter has not been accused of doing anything wrong. He’s a single man and has enjoyed, apparently, relationships with a wide range of famous (and semi-famous) women. He’s not thought of like Brett Favre or Tiger Woods, supposed family men who are facing sexual scandal.

But as he is constantly lauded as a role model for his off the field behavior, most would probably be surprised that Derek Jeter ,it is claimed, is dating a stripper’s daughter and has dated at least one porn star.
