Hunter McGrady

Hunter McGrady was photographed by Yu Tsai in Bali.

Hunter McGrady made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2017 and returned to the magazine each year through 2020. While McGrady welcomed her son, Hudson, in June 2021, she came back to pose for the SI Swimsuit Issue the following year at six months postpartum. Last year’s photo shoot took place in Belize with photographer Yu Tsai.

Today, McGrady is a mom of two. She and her husband, Brian Keys, welcomed a daughter, Ava Bryn Keys, earlier this month. The 29-year-old is often outspoken about balancing family life with her career as a model. She admitted that when she became pregnant with her son during the height of her career, she initially thought it might be over.

“Then I had my son and then I got this rush of, ‘Oh, I’m just getting started,’ and I’m working really hard to change that narrative... We actually can do it all if we want to,” she stated. “Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean that you live your life solely for your baby.”

McGrady went on to remind women to recognize their worth and power as mothers while working to make their own dreams come true.

“We’re like super women,” she gushed. “And we can do it all if we want to do it all.”
