Kate Upton, a three-time SI Swimsuit model and ambassador for the Space Coast Sports Hall of Fame, makes a scorching comeback.

Kate Upton is making waves once again as she graces the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue for the fourth time. The 2024 edition, set to be published on May 17, features Upton alongside other cover models like Gayle King, Chrissy Teigen, and Hunter McGrady.

In an interview with People magazine, Upton expressed her excitement and gratitude for being chosen as a cover model, calling it a “huge honor.” She highlighted the importance of the message that Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s editor-in-chief, MJ Day, wants to convey – women supporting women, showcasing different body types, and empowering women to speak out about their beliefs.

Despite being born in Michigan, Upton has a strong connection to the Space Coast, having attended Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in 2010. Her success in the modeling industry is undeniable, with three previous Sports Illustrated covers under her belt.

Upton’s journey to success began at a young age when she first ventured into the world of fashion and modeling. Her fearless attitude led her to Miami at just 15 years old, where she kickstarted her career. Over the years, Upton has graced the covers of numerous magazines and established herself as a prominent figure in the fashion industry.

In addition to her modeling career, Upton is also an accomplished equestrian, with multiple championships to her name. Her dedication to both modeling and equestrianism has earned her recognition and accolades, including being named the Model of the Year at the 10th annual Style Awards.

With her fourth Sports Illustrated cover, Upton continues to inspire and captivate audiences with her talent and charisma. Her journey from a young aspiring model to a seasoned professional is a testament to her hard work and determination.
