Overview
- Sports Illustrated Swimsuit released its February 2026 digital issue on Feb. 5 with six cover stars: Brittany Mahomes, Christen Goff, Haley Cavinder, Ronika Love, Claire Kittle and Normani.
- Editors frame the group as leaders in their own right, emphasizing careers in athletics, entertainment, entrepreneurship and content creation rather than the traditional 'WAG' label.
- The covers and galleries were shot by Katherine Goguen at South Seas on Captiva Island in the Fort Myers area of Florida.
- Normani, Claire Kittle and Ronika Love made their SI Swimsuit debuts, Cavinder logged her first seaside feature, Goff returned as a multi-time contributor, and Love posed while pregnant with her first child with Jordan Love.
- NFL players amplified the rollout on social media, with posts from Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, George Kittle, Jake Ferguson and Jordan Love highlighting their partners’ covers.
