Sports Illustrated is putting together their huge swimsuit issue and the latest one to join the rookie roster is no other than Kelsey Merritt.
She’s coming in hot after being the first Filipina to ever walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. It looks like she’s getting a lot more busy!
Kelsey posted a video yesterday from the Bahamas as she was going through her fittings and started shooting later that afternoon. This morning, she shared one of the photos and said she can’t wait for the May release.
Kelsey went through the casting call last October and told Sports Illustrated why she would want to model for the magazine. “I really want to be a Sports Illustrated model because I love how confident the models are and I want to show everyone who is looking at these pictures and reading the magazine that they can also be confident in their own skin,” she said. And now she bagged it!
As you all know, Kelsey is all about body positivity and is never afraid to show off her stretch marks.
Congrats, Kelsey!
