Katie Austin is back for her third year with SI Swimsuit after making a major impression in previous issues. She was named co-winner of the brand’s Swim Search open casting call in 2021, as well as ’22 co-Rookie of the Year (both alongside Christen Harper).

The 29-year-old certified fitness trainer and health coach was photographed for the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue in the Dominican Republic by James Macari. Austin shared an incredible photo from her full gallery Wednesday on Instagram, in which she donned a blue-and-white floral bikini by Andi Bagus. 

“seeing a sports illustrated logo on a photo of me will always feel surreal,” she admitted in her caption. “go grab yourself a copy of @si_swimsuit !!💫.”

“SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT 2023 !!!! Can’t wait to get my hands on the magazine and see YOU in it!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! Xoxo,” Austin’s mom, fitness guru Denise Austin, cheered for her daughter in the comments.
