Derek Jeter & Hannah Davis go dutch on romantic Italian dates: no big deal?

Last year, Derek Jeter retired from baseball, but he still has enough money to purchase several Johnny Depp-style islands. Complex magazine posted an impressive breakdown of Jeter’s earnings throughout his Yankees tenure. This amount doesn’t include any endorsements or other side deals. The guy is loaded.

Jeter has been dating Hannah Davis (this year’s SI: Swim cover model) for at least a year. They’re evidently past the wining-and-dining phase of the relationship. According to the New York Daily News, Derek and Hannah are in the midst of a super romantic Italian vacation. They’re making out on the streets, sightseeing, shopping, and going for dinner. A witness saw them at a pizza parlor, where they split the check. When the bill arrived, they asked the waiter to divide it in two. Does this seem strange?

Derek Jeter and his supermodel girlfriend Hannah Davis decided to enjoy their Italian vacation by going Dutch.

Jeter — who made hundreds of millions playing for the Yankees — and Davis — who pulls in about $5 million a year modeling — made out and ate pizza near the Spanish Steps in Rome. Then they asked to split the bill, each paying with their AmEx Black Cards (available to those who charge more than $250,000 per year!).

The jet-setters also stopped for ice cream — as one must do in Italy — and shopped at Chanel and Cartier.

I don’t have anything against going dutch, especially after the warm-up phase of a relationship is complete. Hannah isn’t hurting for money, so I guess she doesn’t mind halving bills. Perhaps she prefers it this way, and she’s simply pleased to have never experienced the infamous Derek Jeter swag bag.

This story still seems “off” somehow. It feels a little rude to ask a waiter to go to the trouble of splitting a check without asking in advance. Why not simply take turns paying for dinners? Less trouble for everyone, and the expenses should even out in the end.
