When it came time to slip into a skimpy swimsuit, Christen Harper was ready for her close-up. The model was photographed by Ben Watts in Portugal for the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. The outlet is celebrating its 60th anniversary. The fiancée of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff told Fox News Digital following a plant-based diet has been her secret to looking — and feeling — her best in swimwear.
’m a longtime animal lover,' said the 30-year-old. 'I never wanted to do anything that would hurt them. That’s what initially made me make the switch to a more plant-based lifestyle. 'I live in California, the mecca for that kind of eating,' she chuckled. 'So, it hasn’t been too hard. But it’s a choice I made to just eat vegetables. … For me, it was an easy choice, and it makes me feel so good. I feel like I’m glowing from the inside out just eating that type of food.
That’s the first cardinal rule. You have to go out and do whatever it is you want to do,' said Harper. 'If you like dining out with friends and going to restaurants, don’t miss out on that. It doesn’t have to be so black and white. 'First, you can try going plant-based at home. You can start slow, adding a few plant-forward ingredients to your meals or trying a new plant-forward recipe. Remember, you’re choosing to feed your body. Have fun with it.
It’s really hard to be a woman,' she said. 'You feel constantly judged, and you’re often comparing yourself. It was partly Sports Illustrated that gave me the confidence to be me. It was wonderful to flip through the pages and see women who looked like me. We know now how important it is to see yourself represented in the media. … And this magazine loves you no matter what you look like or how you show up. They love you for you. … It’s the biggest bubble of empowerment.
When I first got into SI, he was so pumped,' said Harper. 'We got a big poster … and he put it right up in his office. He does his work and looks at my poster. My first calendar, which was untouched, is still all over his office. He’s been so supportive and so happy for me. He knew how big of a dream it was for me.' The Southern California native was a co-winner in the 2021 Swim Search, and she was named co-Rookie of the Year with Katie Austin following their 2022 issue appearance.
