Kate Upton Lands S.I. Swimsuit Cover For Third Time With Topless Trifecta

By Josh Helmuth

Kate Upton is again the covergirl for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. In fact, she’s a covergirl again three times over.

The 24-year-old has three different cover prints for the 2017 edition coming out this month – two of them are certainly lacking a swimsuit top at all. But why would it? It is the swimsuit edition.

Jimmy Kimmel — with a little fun involved — made the announcement of the new cover on his show Tuesday night with Upton sitting nearby. Supposedly, even the supermodel didn’t have a clue as to what the cover would be exactly.

Upton is the fourth woman to land the S.I. Swimsuit cover three times (now, technically five?). She was on the 2012 and ’13 edition covers. There were recent rumors she would only do the magazine this year if she were on the cover.

Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Christie Brinkley are the other three who have been on the cover three times. Elle Macpherson holds the record with five cover appearances.
