5 Incredible Photos of Swim Search Finalist Kristen Louelle in Atlantic City
Kristen Louelle made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2021 as a Swim Search finalist. The San Diego native is mom to two young boys and is expecting her third baby with former NFL player Tyler Gaffney. The two are partners of in-home fitness company Zeno Gym and Louelle serves as the chief branding officer.
She has built her social media presence around making women feel comfortable, confident and capable. Louelle often shares sweet videos of her children and advice for fellow mothers on Instagram.
“It didn’t feel real at all. It didn’t feel real when I was at the beach. But I also felt, like, finally. All those early morning workouts, juggling kids and leading my career—it’s finally paying off,” Louelle gushed in an interview with Fox News about her SI Swimsuit opportunity. “It was intimidating because there were so many beautiful, talented women around me. But they all just made me feel so empowered. I’ve never felt more confident and more sexy in my entire life than I did that day. I feel like I have unlocked this superpower, as crazy as it sounds, to help make women feel as comfortable as possible with themselves. I want other women to say, ‘She’s a mom and she did it. I can do it too.’”
