He’s not even here yet, but Jena Sims is already taking her little guy out on the town. The 2023 SI Swimsuit finalist, who’s preparing to welcome a baby boy with husband Brooks Koepka, arrived at the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show red carpet in a belly-baring sequined ensemble.

The glowing mom-to-be also shared an exciting new detail about his arrival. “I’m seven-and-a-half months,” she divulged. She and Koepka first announced their baby news with a May 3 Instagram post revealing her small bump along with sonogram photos. Since revealing the gender, she's happily shown off her growing belly in a series of fun bikini snapshots. With her due date approaching, the non-profit founder of Pageant of Hope also recently posted a sweet pic from her June west coast baby shower. “Here we grow,” she wrote. “Baby Koepka and myself feel so loved.”

Making it as an SI Swimsuit model has been a dream since she was a little girl, she explained at the Miami Swim Week event. She just didn’t envision it happening while expecting her first child. “Not while I was pregnant,” she joked, “but I have manifested it since I was a kid. It’s pretty empowering. I’m very, very excited.”
