2024 Sports Illustrated Issue Proves Former and Current Detroit Athletes Have Great Taste

She's baaaack. For the fourth time, Kate Upton has graced the cover of a Sports Illustrated issue and she looks better than ever. This time, it was for the brand's 60th Anniversary edition.

Other cover models for the 2024 edition include Chrissy Teigen, Gayle King, and Hunter McGrady. The four cover models encapsulate SI's mission of inclusivity.

Join us in celebrating 60 years of breaking barriers, making history, and empowering women around the world.

SI said in one of their Instagram captions.

What's Kate Upton up to now?

Well— she's clearly been busy shooting the latest issue of SI. They released a behind the scenes video catching up with Kate.

She's still married to former Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, with whom she shares daughter Genevieve “Vivi” Upton Verlander. JV currently plays for the Houston Astros.

Who else is in the SI 60th Anniversary Issue?

I'm glad you asked. The fiancée of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is also included in SI's latest issue. Her name is Christen Harper, and she is a fabulous person and model.

The 60th Anniversary Issue marks her third time in SI. She got her start with Sports Illustrated back in 2021 through one of their Swim Search campaigns where she was named a co-winner. In 2022, she was named SI's co-Rookie of the Year.

When she's not modeling or at a Detroit Lions game, she often spends her time volunteering around Detroit or Los Angeles.

She has volunteered with programs like Forgotten Harvest, Girls INC, and of course, JG16, fiancé Jared Goff's brand whose proceeds help Detroit students go to college.

Harper and Goff got engaged in June of 2022. Harper recently hosted her bachelorette party in Mexico. So hopefully that means we will have the Goffs wedding to share with you soon, and then shortly after a Super Bowl.
