After making her debut in 2021 when she co-won Swim Search, Christen Harper returns with a splash for her third consecutive franchise appearance. The 2022 co-Rookie of the Year (along with Katie Austin) was photographed by Amanda Pratt on the island nation of Dominica. 

“Once upon a time, I looked at the images of Sports Illustrated and I saw all of these women that were confident and sure of themselves and that’s what I wanted to be,” Harper told SI. "I wanted to be here today to hopefully do that for another girl. It's important for girls to feel confident." 

Outside of her work as a model, the Southern California native uses her platform to give a voice to the causes that matter the most to her. Oftentimes this includes working with Girls Inc. and encouraging self-esteem and positivity for young women at workshops through the Detroit Lions Academy's partnership with the Pure Heart Foundation.

The 29-year-old fiancée to Lions quarterback Jared Goff and star of Women of the League not only posed for the annual magazine but jumped off the deep end and joined in on the fun around Dominica, proving she can do it all. 

"I just want them to see these images and feel proud of themselves and feel like they can do anything because they can," Harper said.
