Jena Sims, a newlywed, is posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
Brooks Koepka’s wife released a submission video for the SI Swim Search casting call on Thursday, hoping to get her “dream job” with the legendary publication.
“Your dreams don’t chase you back! Submitting for my dream job,” Sims, 33, captioned the video on TikTok.
The actress-turned-philanthropist began the 60-second video by saying she’s “a firm believer in going for what you want,” referring to how she previously slipped into Koepka’s DMs, before going into detail about why she wants to be a member of the SI Swimsuit family.
“I’m a former pageant winner myself, but losing a pageant absolutely sucks. But in the grand scheme of things, there are kids that feel like they are losing at everything, and that’s exactly why I created the Pageant of Hope,” Sims said of her nonprofit, which strives to “empower, celebrate and advocate for children facing challenges,” per the organization’s website.
“Helping people and spreading joy really is my passion, and I know that together, we can create even more positive impact on the world,” she continued in the TikTok video.
Sims has gained support from SI Swimsuit models Kristen Louelle and Christen Harper, the latter of whom is the girlfriend of Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who encouraged her on in the comments section after she posted the video online.
Harper is a current SI Swimsuit rookie who auditioned for the magazine in 2020 and uploaded her own video. She recently celebrated the publication of the 2022 issue, which came out earlier this month.
