It’s a big week for Christen Harper and the SI Swimsuit models as the 60th edition of the magazine hits newsstands.

Harper is ready to share her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit “secret.”

On Monday, Christen Harper announced her inclusion in the 2024 issue of the legendary magazine on Instagram. The publication is celebrating its 60th anniversary this week and will be available in stores.

“Been keeping this a little secret, but something exciting launches tomorrow…,” Harper posted on Instagram from Porto, Portugal, where she modeled a black bikini in snapshots where she could be seen posing just outside of a vehicle.

After being named a co-winner of the magazine’s annual Swim Search in 2021, Harper became a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit family member.

In 2022, she and her friend Katie Austin were nominated for co-Rookie of the Year.

Prior to Christen Harper, Brittany Mahomes, the spouse of Patrick Mahomes, revealed a glimpse of her SI Swimsuit photo session. At Belize Beach, she was spotted posing in a red bikini and a cowboy hat.

In 2019, Jared Goff and Christen Harper were initially connected via the Raya dating app. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Harper talked about her first encounter with Goff and her memories of that moment.

“I was truly not looking for anything at the time,” Harper said. “I had just gotten out of a long relationship and was trying to stay single for a year. Then I met him, and the rest is history, baby,” Harper said.

Harper and Goff made the decision to become engaged in June 2022 after dating for three years. When Goff made the decision to ask Harper to marry him, the two were traveling in Mexico with friends. The couple has apparently been together for about two years and intends to tie the knot this year.

Christen Harper has never had to struggle with money, and she certainly never will after Jared Goff, the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback, and the Lions agreed to a new deal worth up to $212 million with $170 million guaranteed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday.

Goff was set to be a free agent after the 2024 season.

The Lions went 12-5 and won the NFC North last season en route to the NFC Championship game.
