Jessica Aidi made her SI Swimsuit debut as a Swim Search finalist in 2019. She dreamed of being a model ever since she was a young girl living in South France. Aidi moved to Paris alone at 18-years-old. She worked as a waitress to pay her bills while finishing her education and also met professional soccer player Marco Verratti at the time. The two were first publicly spotted together at the Monaco Grand Prix in May 2019 and tied the knot two years later in July 2021.

Aidi, 31, now lives in Paris and regularly shares photos of her travels on Instagram, where she has 564,000 followers. She has modeled for Emily Ratajkowski’s swimwear line, Inamorata, lingerie brand Intimissimi and Dior. 

Here are seven of our favorite photos from Aidi’s 2019 photo shoot in the Bahamas with Yu Tsai.
