However, apart from her professional and personal, let’s dive a little deeper into what got her into modelling. The SI model is also known for being a vocal Trump supporter, and she wasn’t shy to show it off during her Super Bowl appearance.

How did Kristen get into modeling?

When she was 32 years old and a mother of two, Kristen harbored dreams of gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit campaign. Despite having no prior modeling experience, her aspirations seemed daunting. Reflecting on her childhood fascination with the magazine’s iconic swimsuit issue, Kristen reminisced about the moment she laid eyes on Rebecca Romijn [Stamos] and envisioned herself in that spotlight. “I just couldn’t wait to be sexy. So I really looked up her and I said, ‘I want to do that,’ but I never really thought I could until [Sports Illustrated] started the swim search. And I just wanted to seize the opportunity.”

She is also known for being a Trump supporter. And she confidently wore her political preference on her sleeves at the Maxim Super Bowl Party. Sporting a clutch purse, she unabashedly showcased her support for former President Donald Trump. The rhinestone-studded accessory, boldly emblazoned with ‘MAGA,’ served as a visible tribute to Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign. Kristen voiced her admiration for the former president and his vision for the nation. “I believe in faith, family, and the American Dream,” she proclaimed, echoing the values she associates with Trump.

Tyler’s beau also played a crucial role in the love life of another star NFL player. Olivia Culpo, a former Miss Universe, found love with NFL star Christian McCaffrey, thanks to Kristen’s matchmaking prowess. Kristen revealed, “Tyler and I actually introduced Christian and Olivia. We were there when they met.” The two have even gone on double dates together!
