Destiny, however, works in mysterious ways. Years later, after choosing not to pursue golf as a career, Sims fell in love with Brooks Koepka, a professional golfer at the peak of his still-progressing career, and started a family with him.

The couple now has a child, Crew Koepka, and a black labrador, Cove, together. The family of four is often seen celebrating festivals together as well as taking much-needed trips from time to time. Jena Sims is so much more than just being Koepka’s wife. She has a well-flourishing career of her own that she has worked very hard for.

What all does Jena Sims do?

The Krispy Kreme connoisseur has a diverse set of achievements so far. Presently, she is working as the founder of Pageant of Hope, a not-for-profit organization that aims to “empower, celebrate, and advocate for children facing challenges while celebrating inner beauty and self-confidence.”

Apart from her innovative philanthropic project, she also furthers her stance on promoting self-love in her role as an investor in the inclusive makeup brand, DIBS Beauty. She is also collaborating with famous brands like Mignonne Gavigan, One One, and Revolve at the moment.

Sims was titled the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie in 2023. Interestingly, Sims was 7-month pregnant when she walked the ramp for the competition. Being grateful for not being “alone up” on the stage, she 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. I was never alone up there.Pregnancy is not slowing my ambitions, it’s fueling them. I am so proud of myself and what my body is accomplishing.”

She is currently gearing up to feature on the cover of the May 2024 issue of SI Swimsuit, where she has foregone dieting and is solely relying on weight training and breastfeeding to get back into her best possible shape for the feature, thus advocating for body positivity for new mothers like herself. But Jena Sims’s body-positive attitude does not end here. So what’s more?
