As for Earle, who is currently dating Miami Dolphins wideout, Braxton Berrios, she too commented on the spot saying, “Such an honor… Thank you SI Swim!!!!!”
“It has been a long-time dream of mine to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, and I’m deeply honored to be named their first-ever digital cover star,” Earle said in a press release.
“Becoming part of the SI family and now joining alongside such strong, powerful, and inspiring women is incredibly meaningful to me.”
Earle recently opened up on her experience during the shoot in Florida in an interview with WWD.
“The photoshoot was different than I had initially thought because we were playing around with a bunch of different fashion pieces as well as swimwear,” she revealed.
Later, Earle explained that they split the shoot between indoors and outdoors.
“It’s really cool that we got to incorporate a lot of storytelling aspects into this piece and tell a lot about my life through these pictures,” she added.

With this season’s schedule now revealed, eager NFL fans are looking to secure tickets to their favorite games.
You can start buying tickets for some games on several sites now:
Before purchasing tickets on resale websites check pricing as they are third-party sellers and, importantly, the cost can vary depending on demand. You may pay more than an official ticket, though you can also get good last-minute deals too.
But if you can’t be there in person, don’t worry, there’s still time to set up your stream before the season starts.
You can also keep up to date with the latest NFL coverage right here at The U.S. Sun.
“I was a little bit shocked at first when I saw what we were doing, but it was incredibly amazing and I think it’s going to be a really cool piece.”
Berrios was also thrilled for his partner, sharing her cover shot on his Instagram Stories.
“The 1st ever digital cover…you earned this! Congrats babe,” he captioned the post.
The couple went public with their relationship in July 2023 at the annual ESPYs.
A sixth-round Draft pick out of Miami in 2018, Berrios previously spent time with the New England Patriots and the New York Jets.
He signed with the Dolphins in 2023, going on to sign a new one-year deal this offseason worth just over $2 million.
