Kate Upton is the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Cover Girl
  • 7 years ago
It’s 2017 and Kate Upton is back! Three times over too, as the official cover model of the newest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

Topless, draped in just some light rope, a sequined jacket and some jewelry, Kate appears on three different collector’s covers and as the text says, “Kate the Great.”

This comes after rumors of Kate’s “diva behavior” which could have prevented her for scoring the coveted position for a third time. But clearly she has a great reputation with SI, so those stories of the veteran being difficult are likely bogus.

But Kate tells Jimmy Kimmel Live that she was kept in the dark about it till just one day before they made the announcement. She was reportedly sworn to secrecy, but admits to the talk show that she did at least tell some family and fiancé Justin Verlander.

Kate reportedly jokes, “I would say don’t tell me secrets.”

Well, it’s no secret who the queen of the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is now.
