Jena Sims vs. DJ's wife: Who's the real trendsetter in the LIV Golf scene?

In two days, two LIV Golf WAGs shook the internet. First, it was Dustin Johnson’s wife, Paulina Gretzky, who gave off a serious cowboy vibe on her husband’s birthday. This time, Jena Sims sent fans into a frenzy by sharing two snippets from her ramp walk on SI Swimsuit.

Sims shared two slides of her ramp walk, one when she was carrying baby Crew inside her and the other from Miami Swim Week last month. Her five-time major-winning husband, Brooks Koepka, was in attendance as Sims rocked a floral bikini on the ramp. Sims captioned, “1 year later, both walks were equally empowering @si_swimsuit, [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit] thank you as always for accepting us as we are.

A year ago, on July 7, Sims walked on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show’s runway while seven months pregnant. The white T-shirt read, ‘Currently growing a pair’. Sims later said, “It takes courage to walk the runway 7 months pregnant. Working for my lifelong dream brand, having no control over my body was terrifying yet the biggest blessing.

Sims at that time said, “I was never alone up there [on the ramp].” It was true, as her fans lauded her courage for proudly showing her baby bump. This time, too, as she posted two clips side by side, netizens stood by what Sims stood for.

Fans tip their hats to Jena Sims

Sims made a bold move by agreeing to walk on the ramp while pregnant. Sims later said that while it was terrifying, it was also extremely rewarding. In an interview with Jupiter Magazine last August, the model entrepreneur said, “Being pregnant, I released that control and owned my body. I have never felt more empowered and prouder of myself.

Have an interesting take?

The very fact that she didn’t consider pregnancy a deterrent inspires many. Comments like, “Amazing! Beautiful and powerful in both!” “Iconic” reveals how far-reaching her influence is. One user wrote, “Love that Crew was included in last year!!!.” While another commented, “Obsessed with this, love both versions of you.”

Sims also received support from her industry peers. Celebrity golf influencer Karin Hart, too, left a small note. “You’re amazing.” Notably, Patrick Mahomes’s wife, Brittany, spoke glowingly about Sims earlier. The 28-year-old, complimenting Sims’s collaboration with Little World Project, wrote, “@jenamsims doing some pretty cool stuff out here.”

Be it through showing gratitude to the NICU nurses who helped Baby Crew survive or through her association with various charities, Jena Sims has never failed to inspire her followers. The SI swimsuit walk was one such iconic moment.
