Kate Bock made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2013, and the 35-year-old Canadian model has since traveled to Switzerland, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize and other locations with the brand. She landed the magazine’s cover alongside fellow models Olivia Culpo and Jasmine Sanders in 2020 after posing for photographer Yu Tsai in Bali.

In addition to her work with SI Swimsuit, she also has collaborated with brands such as Banana Republic and Ralph Lauren. Bock also serves as the chief branding officer of Pompette, a hard sparkling water company. She and her husband, Miami Heat player Kevin Love, recently became a family of three, as they welcomed a baby girl on June 10.

Last year, Bock told SI Swimsuit that she’s grown exponentially as a person throughout her 10 years with the publication.

“I think I knew that that was something I would have always wanted, but not necessarily something that I ever thought was a possible option,” she said while reflecting on her decade with the magazine. “Every year I get nervous or wonder what might happen. You never know for sure that you’re back. And it’s always such an honor to be asked.”

While it’s hard to narrow down our favorite photo shoot of Bock’s throughout the years, we always go back to the trendy neon swimsuits she wore on location in ’21 with photographer James Macari in Hollywood, Fla.
