Loren Brovarnik in Two-Piece Says "The Bandeaus are Back Baby"

Model and actress Jena Sims is still overwhelmed by the positive response to her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot. Sims, 35, shared a video reel of her experience for the iconic magazine, including a moment where she’s posing in green shorts and a pink sports bra for a mirror selfie. “@si_swimsuit, still a dream. Thank you @mj_day 💜,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the entrepreneur feels about shooting SI just four months postpartum.

1. Postpartum Sports Illustrated

Sims was just four months postpartum when she shot her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photos. “As soon as I was cleared to, I started eating really clean and working out,” she told . I didn’t kill myself over it. I was breastfeeding and recovering from a C-section and when they gave me a firm date. I was like, ‘It’s go time,'” she told The Post. “I woke up every day before Crew and worked out six days a week.”

2. Dream Closet

Sims has a wine fridge in her closet. “If I have girlfriends over, they’re like, ‘let’s just go hang out in your closet,’” she told Sports Illustrated. “I used to live in L.A. and I loved my old apartment in L.A. I had like brown carpet and like popcorn ceiling. I just loved that. And I get a little taste of that space in my closet. It’s just, it’s exactly me. I can just sit in there. Sometimes I just sit on the floor and drink wine and like scroll TikTok.”

3. Pregnancy Pride

Sims is proud she hit the runway while pregnant. “Being pregnant, I released that control and owned my body,” she told Jupiter Magazine. “I have never felt more empowered and prouder of myself. Physically, I was working hard in other ways—like growing another human’s organs! I also loved that I was never alone on the runway; I had my son with me every step of the way. I can’t wait to embarrass him one day with my runway video footage!”

4. Motherhood and Ambition

Sims says motherhood only made her more ambitious. “You are allowed to pursue your dreams before, during, and after pregnancy,” she told Jupiter Magazine. “For me, motherhood fuels ambition. The message I want to convey is the same as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit: All bodies are swimsuit bodies.”

5. Support From Brooks Koepka

Sims’ husband Brooks Koepka was supportive of his wife as she prepared for the shoot. “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,” she told The Post. “He really stepped up. At that time there weren’t any major tournaments coming up for him. 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.”

April Love Geary is trying on some swimsuits, and teasing her fans with a mirror selfie.

1. Couples Therapy

Geary and husband Robin Thicke took part in couples therapy. “Couples therapy provides tools for communicating and asking for what you need,” says relationship and family therapist Tracy Ross. “A lot of couples tell me that it is the only hour they have during the week where they’re focused on each other, with no distractions.”

2. Bike Riding

Geary enjoys riding a bike outside for some fresh air and exercise. “Many people feel a lot of tension about working out, losing weight and lowering their blood pressure,” says certified fitness instructor ShaNay Norvell. “Outdoor exercise is enjoyable and feels more like play than a chore.”

3. Swimming With the Family

Geary loves getting into the pool with her children. “Swimming is a great all-round form of physical activity,” says the NHS. “It's ideal if you want to be more active and stay healthy, whatever your age or fitness level. A few 30 to 45 minute sessions of moderate to vigorous intensity swimming per week is a great way of working towards your recommended level of physical activity.”

4. Postpartum Confidence

Geary loves her postpartum body after having children. “Just letting you know that I’m not really bothered by all your guys’ comments when you say I was so much more attractive when I was skinnier because before having babies I didn’t have this,” she says. “I am forever grateful for this baby weight.”

5. Pasta Lover

Geary says pasta from her favorite restaurant is the only time she “licks the plate clean”. “Carbohydrates are your body's main source of energy: They help fuel your brain, kidneys, heart muscles, and central nervous system,” according to Reid Health. “For instance, fiber is a carbohydrate that aids in digestion, helps you feel full, and keeps blood cholesterol levels in check.”

1. One Day At a Time

One day at a time 🙌🏻 Little by little I will share with you how things are going. Hope you're as excited as me!”

2. Strong Relationship

Cox and husband Adam are still going strong. “The first thing we usually say to each other when Alan comes home from work is ‘Eu estava com saudades!’ ‘Saudades’ has no direct translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of longing for someone you love. Basically, it means, ‘I really, really missed you!'” she says.

3. Winter Weather

Cox loves the cold weather after growing up in a hot climate. “Winter is my absolute favorite season of the year!” she says. “You can get comfortable outfits and look cute at the same time. I think I like winter that much because where I used to live in Brazil it’s always so hot. You never have a break. It's always summer. What is your favorite season?

4. Love For Frida Kahlo

Cox is deeply passionate about art. “I still can't believe I had the immense privilege of observing a piece of art by my dear Frida Kahlo ♥️,” she captioned a post. “I was so moved and touched that I was able to have this moment in my life, that to be honest, I can't put into words what it meant to me. I love you, Frida. Thank you for all the lessons and struggles. To be honest, it's hard to find words to explain what it meant to me to be there. I love you Frida! Thank you for all the lessons and fight!”

5. She Loves Dresses

Cox loves wearing dresses every day. “Do you guys have a to go outfit?” she captioned an Instagram post. “For me, I'll always choose a dress to be mine. In my opinion, they'll always make me feel good about myself, make me feel pretty and feminine. For example, when I tried this one, I was so happy, I took like a million selfs and was dancing around the house.”

1. Mondays Off

Gallagher sees her physical therapist on her days off. “I would love to say I go for a fun lunch and do really great stuff on my day off, but that would be a lie,” she says. “I wake up, I’ll get a massage, I’ll read. I’ve got the hobbies of a grandmother; I bake cookies, I crochet. The smartest person I know does crossword puzzles and I thought, 'Oh, that’s how she knows so many words,' so I thought I should start doing them too. I started with Mondays, and so now I do them every Monday—my time is getting shorter every week, I’m getting much better.”

2. Christmas In Connecticut

Gallagher loves to spend down time in the country, relaxing and recharging. “I try to get up to my family’s house in Connecticut as much as I can,” she says. “It’s so beautiful and I’ve been coming since I was two years old. I come up on a Sunday night, I wake up Monday and build a fire, make some coffee, and sit and read. It’s a dream. I’m a big fan of Sakara. I try to be vegan, and it’s all plant-based so I love it. But I also definitely indulge. Over Christmas I made cookies for the cast and I did a classic gingerbread house.”

3. Humor and Honesty

Gallagher looks for humor and honesty when collaborating with other musicians. “Honesty’s a big one,” she says. “I start any co-write with just talking. Openness and all the things I look for in a friend. And also talent is always lovely [laughs], but it really is almost further down on the list. You have to like them as a person, especially because co-songwriting can be such an awkward thing…you have to be honest and open, and that’s not an easy thing to do at all.”

4. Bagels and Nostalgia

Gallagher spends her day off practicing, and enjoying her favorite foods. “I pick up my guitar every day and write, but Monday is a good day for me to focus on the business side of my music; figuring out what song I’ll put out next or getting together the artwork for a release,” she says. “H&H Bagels is 100 percent my place. I’m a bagel aficionado, and pretty much every day off starts there. When I’m really stressed out, I walk through the Natural History Museum. I find it really relaxing there, maybe because I grew up nearby and went a lot as a kid. Nostalgia is my favorite way to deal with stress.”

5. Jagged Little Pill

Gallagher played Bella Fox on the Broadway show Jagged Little Pill, and says the experience was incredibly timely. “When I got the role, it was before the #MeToo movement began,” she says. “It was before people talked about it. Honestly, seeing how our script came to life in the news every single day was miraculous. We were actually in rehearsals during the lab when #MeToo broke, when the Weinstein stuff came out, everything. All of that happened while we were in the rehearsal room. Every day we came into work and there was a new headline about these incredible women coming forward and sharing their stories. There was no way that wasn’t going to inform both my performance and also the way the script grew and evolved.”
