BROOKS KOEPKA’S wife, Jena Sims, stunned in a bikini photoshoot as she was named as a Sports Illustrated Rookie.
Jena took to her Instagram to express her delight at being selected for the issue, after a competitive process to be chosen.
Jena was buzzing to be selected for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition
She was chosen as one of the ‘rookies of the year’
Alongside seven other models
She has dated Brooks since 2015
The 24-year-old actress and model told her 272,000 Instagram followers that she “can’t stop smiling” after being selected.
In a post on her Instagram she wrote: “Thank YOU for the votes, the support, the reshares, even the hate. It all counted.
“WE DID IT BABY!!! Beyond honoured to be named one of the first rookies for the 60th anniversary issue of @si_swimsuit alongside my fellow Swim Search winners.”
Her video on the social media platform featured her trying on multiple swimsuits before ultimately donning the Sports Illustrated “Rookie” number.
She is one of seven “rookies” that will appear in the magazine’s 2024 issue.
In the video posted to her Instagram she said: “A pair of heels changed Cinderella’s life… This swimsuit changed mine.” – referring to her coveted rookie suit.
TMZ reported last year that Jena also entered the competition last year and said that it is a lifelong dream to be featured on the annual swimsuit edition.
Jena and her husband met at the 2015 Masters and wedded in June 2022.
She also entered the competition in 2022
Which is when her and Brooks wedded
They had their first son together, Crew Sims Koepka in July this year.
Despite the two meeting at a golf tournament, the model told Golf Digest that her and her husband “almost never talk about golf.”
Despite this, she is a regular at Brooks’ events, including the recent Ryder Cup.
“I love being able to support Brooks and watch him because he’s so talented,” she said. “He’ll say to me all the time: ‘It must be so boring walking around in the crowd watching me play.’ And I’m like, no way. I actually really enjoy it.”
She says appearing in Sports Illustrated is a ‘dream’
