Ally Kendricks, a 2021 SI Swim Search finalist, boasts a remarkable athletic pedigree, holding dual citizenship from the United States and Canada and hailing from a family of sports icons. Her father and uncle both played in the NHL, while Kendricks herself competed as a two-sport athlete (soccer and track) for UCLA. Today, she is a full-time model and mental health advocate, aiming to eradicate stigmas surrounding mental health and empower those silently fighting their own battles.

In recent news, the SI Swimsuit model is thrilled to announce her first pregnancy with NFL star Eric Kendricks. In a heartwarming Instagram reel, Kendricks breaks the news to her husband, who responds with joy and emotion. The couple, who tied the knot last July, shared the video with their 81,000 followers, captioning it with “We’ve been keeping a little secret🤭. Baby K coming 🔜.” The announcement was set to the sweet melody of Daniel Caesar’s “Best Part (feat. H.E.R.).”

As she embarks on this new chapter, Kendricks continues to share openly and honestly with her followers about the realities of her pregnancy. Take a look back at some of our favorite moments from her SI Swimsuit photo shoot in New Jersey photographed by Yu Tsai.
