9 Beyond Gorgeous Photos of Kate Bock in Costa Rica
Kate Bock has been featured in the pages of SI Swimsuit every single year since her debut in 2013 and she was also one of the magazine’s cover stars in ’20. That’s one exciting decade of posing for some of the best photographers in various stunning locations. She was most recently captured by Yu Tsai in Belize for last year’s issue.
Since her first appearance in the magazine, Bock has been busy building her social media following and growing her aesthetic lifestyle brand. She’s also the founder of Cattura Jewelry and chief brand officer for Pompette. Bock married NBA star Kevin Love in a stunning Great Gatsby-inspired wedding at the New York Public Library last summer.
“I’ve gotten all these opportunities to really learn and grow with Sports Illustrated. I started coming to shoots with mood boards. I think it helped me kind of hone in on my creativity because every year is a little bit different based on the location, the photographer or just the weather and the vibe that we have, the swimsuits,” the 35-year-old said. “It allowed my creativity and understanding of this industry to really flourish. I think every year I become more comfortable with myself and with my body. And they also know me so much better. I’m more comfortable asking questions. I now get to use what I’ve learned in so many other projects.”
