Jordan Chiles to Feature in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2025
In a thrilling announcement on November 11, Sports Illustrated confirmed that Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles will be among the athletes showcased in the 2025 Swimsuit Issue. The excitement on social media has been palpable, with the publication celebrating Chiles as one of its newest stars.
“Introducing the latest athlete to grace the pages of SI Swimsuit — Jordan Chiles!” the magazine declared in a lively Instagram post, revealing her stunning look for the issue.
Chiles, bright and vibrant, posed in a striking turquoise cutout one-piece swimsuit, capturing attention with her impressive physique against the scenic backdrop of Boca Raton, Florida.
Joining her in this celebrated issue are other renowned athletes, including Gabby Thomas and Suni Lee. Fans took to social media to express their enthusiasm, with many praising Chiles for her captivating beach shoot.
In the accompanying article, Sports Illustrated highlighted Chiles’ remarkable journey, which began with her Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games in 2020. This summer, she was a crucial member of the U.S. gymnastics team that achieved gold at the Paris Games 2024. Additionally, she has earned titles as an all-around Winter Cup and Pan American Games champion.
However, her Olympic experience was not without controversy. During the Tokyo Games, the Romanian gymnastics team challenged her final score for the floor routine, leading to the stripping of her bronze medal. Describing this moment as “unjust,” Chiles received widespread support from both teammates and celebrities alike.
In an emotional interview on the “Today” show prior to the announcement, Chiles addressed this difficult period in her life. “It’s honestly been a very, very difficult time, and to all those who have supported and uplifted me, I can’t thank you enough,” she shared with host Hoda Kotb, expressing her readiness to share her truth as she moves forward.
As Sports Illustrated prepares for the 2025 issue, Chiles’ addition promises to bring more than just glamour; it represents resilience and the ongoing journey of an athlete who continues to inspire.
