Detroit Lions quaterback Jared Goff’s wife, Christen Harper, who is a mother to a baby girl, made a comeback for the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
On Thursday, the magazine revealed the first look of her on Instagram, where Harper posed in a golden-colored bikini by Victoria’s Secret.
Katherine Goguen took the gorgeous shot on Bowman’s Beach Park in Sanibel.
She was also a part of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s digital cover in February, which was shot in Fort Myers, Florida.
For the digital cover, Harper wore a blue string bikini, which was seemingly a nod to the Lions’ signature color.
The back-to-back shoots for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit came after she and Jared Goff welcomed their first child, a daughter, Romy Isabelle Goff, in July.
On Feb. 13, while posting BTS of her shoot in Fort Myers, Harper narrated her struggle to slip into in a bikini after giving birth.
“It was a little daunting deciding to step back in front of the camera 6 months postpartum but I knew this was going to be such a special shoot,” she wrote in the caption. “I look at every little soft spot on my body with a lot of love, all the times that I skipped the gym and spent time with my baby girl, Banana bread that I ate that kept me (and her) alive for the past 6 months. Proud of myself and all of the moms out there learning to love their body each step of the way.”
Looking back, Christen Harper’s first feature for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit was in the 2021 issue. She entered the 2021 issue as a Swim Search finalist and was eventually named one of the two co-winners of the search.

The shoot took place in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
At the time of the shoot, she was in her second trimester.
