Brooks Koepka watched his wife Jena Sims walk the SI Swimsuit runway in Miami over the weekend, posting praise on Instagram and sparking plenty of banter from fellow athletes and models.
Brooks Koepka was watching the moment unfold in Miami when his wife, Jena Sims, stepped onto the SI Swimsuit runway and delivered a series of standout swimsuit looks.
The golfer, 36, didn’t just sit back. He celebrated her on social media. sharing a post that leaned into his excitement for next year while capturing the energy of the night. “Miami baby!. Loved watching my beautiful wife @jenamsims at @si_swimsuit Can’t wait for next year!” Koepka wrote on Instagram.
In a gallery of images, Koepka marked the occasion by highlighting Sims with friends in the crowd, including San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and Dallas Cowboys star Jake Ferguson. He also reposted the images to his Instagram story with the caption, “Yea that’s my hot a** wife!”
Sims returned fire in the comment section, pointing to the timing of Koepka’s calendar. “Big tournament week for Jean,” she wrote, referring to his work as a professional golfer. Other models piled in with praise. Hunter McGrady commented, “Like, do you pinch yourself everyday that’s your wife. Sheeeesh,” and Koepka replied, “every damn day!!!!!!”.
Even the crossover with sports celebrities didn’t stay quiet. Katie Austin officially declared Koepka “one of ‘The husbands of @si_swimsuit.’” Basketball star and fellow model Haley Cavinder left a playful note. writing “HABS” as a wink at the old “wives and girlfriends” nickname used for athletes. Koepka took the joke back with laughing emojis.
Sims later described how the photos were shot in January during a brutally cold day in south Florida. Living in Jupiter, Florida, she said temperatures were 30 degrees—an unusual cold that surprised everyone on set. “Where I live in Jupiter, [Fla.], it was 30 degrees. That has never happened. That was crazy,” she told People Magazine.
She added that the footage showed how much the cold got to her. “In the video, if you really look at my skin, I’m covered in just goosebumps. It was so cold.” Sims said other models were dressed for the weather with scarves. layers. hand warmers. and boots. while she tried to “not to shake” while wearing her swimwear. “And I’m in there with my pasties, and just trying to not to shake — but it was worth it.”.

Miami baby but it was 30 degrees?? makes no sense lol
Why is a golfer posting swimsuit runway stuff like he’s the main character 😂 also “hot a** wife” cmon. Next he’ll be sponsoring the bikinis or something.
Wait I thought SI was Sports Illustrated like sports news… but it’s like models now?? And didn’t he compete in Miami too? I’m confused, sounds like he was there watching instead of playing. Either way she looks great and the 30 degree Jupiter part is wild
The goosebumps thing is fake right? like you can tell it’s staged, nobody shoots swimsuit runway in cold unless they want the drama. And why are football guys there, are they dating the models or just networking? Seems like rich people doing rich people stuff.
