Brooks Koepka’s wife Jena Sims has a special message for pregnant women

Recently, fans of Brooks Koepka were delighted to learn that the 4-time major winner and his wife, Jena Sims, were expecting a child. The pair, who tied the knot almost a year ago, took to social media earlier this month to share the lovely news with their fans.

Sims, who often takes to Instagram to share her unique insights or offer glimpses into her life, took to her Instagram stories once again on Thursday to share a refreshing message. But, this time, it was “for the women who aren’t allowing pregnancy to set their careers back.” The message was accompanied by a stunning photo of the 34-year-old beauty. Jena clearly was trying to inspire pregnant women who carry their pregnancies and their careers together with grace, women who don’t let the opinions of other stop them from doing what they do best!

In the past, Sims has spoken out against the false notions that exist around her. Speaking to Fox News in April, Sims confessed that people often perceived her as someone who did not work and just spent her husband’s money, when the truth is something else. “Y’all have no idea. I’ve been working hard. Like I’ve supported myself as an actress in LA for all of my 20s. Since moving to Florida, I’ve shot over 200 TV commercials,” she had revealed.
