Jena Sims has been enjoying SI Swimsuit launch events in New York and Florida all weekend long. The 34-year-old nonprofit CEO and fashion designer is a top-seven finalist in this year’s Swim Search open casting call. She’s also married to professional golfer Brooks Koepka, who just won the PGA Championship. 

Sims told SI Swimsuit that she proudly would be supporting her husband, 33, from the couch at home, as they each had prior commitments to honor separately for their own careers over the weekend.

“I’m just here at Hard Rock Hollywood, I’m wrapping up the launch week,” Sims told SI Swimsuit. “It was so much fun and literally everyone is asking me, ‘Are you flying to Rochester to watch Brooks dominate the PGA?’ I am not. Our big thing is stick to the plan. This weekend is about the other Brooks in my life, [2023 SI Swimsuit Issue cover model] Brooks Nader, and Brooks Koepka can crush on his own in Rochester.”

A five-time franchise model, Nader landed one of four covers of the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue after posing for photographer James Macari in the Dominican Republic.

Sims and Koepka currently are expecting their first child. The happy couple announced the exciting news on Instagram on Koepka’s birthday earlier this month. 

“I’ll be at home probably screaming [from] the couch, but it’s really special to be able to be here pursuing my dream while he pursues one of his biggest dreams,” Sims said. “It’s such an honor to be top seven for the Swimfluence [Network].”

Koepka wound up winning the PGA Championship by two strokes over Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland.
