A new digital edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is putting a spotlight on women connected to the NFL, with singer Normani and Brittany Mahomes among the featured cover stars.
The release centers on six women often labeled as WAGs wives and girlfriends of professional football players while reframing that shorthand to reflect their individual careers and public lives. The photos were shot on Captiva Island in Florida and presented as part of a digital-only rollout.
Normani, who is engaged to NFL wide receiver DK Metcalf, appears in the issue as both a charting artist and a figure with growing influence beyond music. Brittany Mahomes, married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is featured in the context of her work in sports and business.
The issue positions its cover subjects as multifaceted public figures, emphasizing personal identity and professional work alongside their ties to the league.
