It was back in 2015 when Sims and Brooks Koepka got to know each other from Instagram! The golfer must be so glad that Jena slid into his DMs. They then met in person at the Augusta National Golf Club. They started dating soon after. Got married in 2022, and had a baby Crew in 2023. And although Sims had shared several videos of Koepka and his son together, you might not have seen something like what happened at the Royal Troon during The Open Championship this time.

Before the turn of a year, Koepka has already proven to be a devoted father. Koepka Jr. on the other hand has gotten the opportunity to be on the golf course from so early on. He made his debut on the greens at the Masters this year. Crew also was present at Valhalla this year to support his dad in defending his title. Now at the golf’s oldest major, Jena Sims revealed a fatherly side of Koepka that no one has ever witnessed before.

Brooks Koepka is fulfilling TikTok trends in real life

Jena Sims recently shared a video compilation of Brooks Koepka and their child, Crew, on TikTok. The video was accompanied by one of the most famous TikTok trending songs by Kylie Morgan, “If He Wanted To, He Would.” And the video? Well, it proved to be exactly a visual replica of the song.

Brooks Koepka was seen playing and tending to his baby boy on the greens. After a swing practice, the golfer was seen in an intimate moment with his son while playing with a pacifier. Such a portrayal of his soft side had also made the official Instagram handle of the Open Championship write, “Dad duties at Royal Troon.”

However, Jena Sims knew better what to write for her female audience. She wrote, “Next time your man says he’s too busy, show him this.” With Koepka practicing for the last major of the season, he could not be busier but the quest for the sixth major title does beat daddy duties. Yet, the LIV golfer did not forget his father’s role while still on the greens and had Crew next to him in a stroller.

Sims again agreed with another fan, who highlighted how sweet Koepka was to show this soft side of his. Mostly, on the greens, fans only get to see a fierce competitive side, so it is refreshing to see them in a loving family-like setting. To that, Sims replied in the comments, “So happy he’s showing this side. He’s the best.” 

Jena Sims had earlier revealed how she firmly believes that if someone really wishes to have a man like Koepka, they should take some sort of initiative. And that’s what she did. She also found out how good of a decision it had been for Koepka to be there for her when she needed him.

Sims claimed Koepka had been supportive in her career

Jena Sims had a difficult pregnancy, which ended in her early delivery. That’s right, baby Crew was 7 weeks early, and Sims had to go through an emergency C-section. However, only 4 months into her post-partum, she was photographed by Yu Tsai and had the opportunity to be on the SI’s pages. Back then, she remembered what she told Koepka. She recalled, “I sat him down and said this is going to be the equivalent of me training for a major golf tournament, and it kind of resonated with him.”

Sims also stated how Koepka really stepped up for her career, giving it as much importance as his own. She revealed, “He really stepped up. At that time, there weren’t any major tournaments coming up for him.”

The American actress and model then further added how he helped with Baby Crew. According to the NY Post, she said, “If I had a workout and Crew wasn’t asleep, he would take care of Crew and just completely worked his schedule around mine, which is what I do for him when he’s training for something. It was so seamless.”
