In case you wondered exactly what Brittany Mahomes thinks about her critics, she makes it clear in her interview with Sports Illustrated. "Be confident in who you are and be unapologetically yourself," Mahomes said. "People are going to love you or hate you, but finding your values and what makes you the best version of yourself is what really matters." Mahomes has come after her haters before, and we love to see her moving past them and living her best life.

The model's fans flooded the comments to share their support for her SI Swimsuit debut. One person wrote, "Love it!!! She's not just a 'football wife.' She's a queen making her name known on her own and empowering girls everywhere." Another one said, "You're setting a great example for your kids that you are continuing to build your own brand and have your own accomplishments that you can be proud of, independent from your husband." We couldn't agree more.

A fellow newcomer to this year's SI Swimsuit issue is Lori Harvey, a longtime model, entrepreneur, and the daughter of Steve Harvey. This year's SI Swimsuit issue will come out in May 2024.
