It was her third time applying for the open casting call.<\/p>\n<p>In her rookie shoot in Mexico, Sims shared how the journey wasn\u2019t easy. Her first attempt only got her through the initial interview round, while the second year didn\u2019t lead anywhere. On her third attempt, she finally earned a spot in the issue.<\/p>\n<p>SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day praised her persistence and said Sims was a great fit for the brand.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cJena embodies the tenacity, determination and dedication that we look for in all talent that represents our brand. She\u2019s extremely hard working, champions her non-profit, Pageant of Hope, and gracefully balances the roles of devoted new mother and supportive wife.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jena Sims was just four months postpartum when she posed for her first shoot. She described the experience as the start of an exciting new chapter in her life.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019m exactly where I need to be, and I feel like this is the beginning of such a huge new chapter of my life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Outside of modeling, Sims also runs Pageant of Hope, a non-profit that helps kids and teens build confidence through pageants.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/3812699-1745396844-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Sonali Verma&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Nicolaas Ackermann<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/golf\/news-brooks-koepka-calls-luckiest-guy-world-jena-sims-s-major-achievement\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Brooks Koepka cheered on his wife, Jena Sims, after her second appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
