It’s official!! Sports Illustrated is excited to reveal that Kate Upton is the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model, and is featured on three different covers –a Swimsuit first! This is Upton’s third time gracing the cover, a distinction shared with just four other models. Among them is Christie Brinkley, who also makes her SI Swimsuit return this year in another first for the brand as she was photographed along with her two daughters. In total, SI Swimsuit 2017 features a powerful cast of 32 women, including five former cover models (Nina Agdal, Christie Brinkley, Ashley Graham, Hannah Jeter and Chrissy Teigen), six mothers (one expecting), five world famous athletes (Simone Biles, Genie Bouchard, Aly Raisman, Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki), seven Rookies and much more!

Kate’s three covers are available here for use –there is a mandatory photo credit to Yu Tsai/SPORTS ILLUSTRATED with any coverage and all online coverage must link back to SI’s post announcing this news. I have also attached the rights and restrictions language and official press release for your reference.
