In case you missed yesterday’s major news, we released SI Swimsuit’s February 2026 digital cover, starring six incredible women: Christen Goff, Brittany Mahomes, Haley Cavinder, Ronika Love, Claire Kittle and Normani.

Each of our six cover stars are reinventing the term “WAG” just by being themselves. From their work in music, sports and business, these women are succeeding on their own turf—and they just so happen to be the wives and girlfriends of famous NFL athletes.

Cavinder said it best when chatting with SI Swimsuit for her feature: “To me, [being a WAG] means [being] a partner, a supporter,” she says. “You’re your own person at the same time, but it’s also being in the stands and cheering your person on through the good times and being able to just show up for someone you love. Obviously, still working toward your goals and your identity and career, but being able to support someone that you love so much and just feed into their ambition and drive, and then being independent, as well, I feel like that makes your relationship so much stronger.”

And as much as they cheer on their pro athlete partners, their significant others took the time to spotlight their ladies with yesterday’s digital cover reveal. Check out the highlights below.
