Rhode Island native Olivia Culpo is one of three models to be on the cover of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
"I really am speechless and this still doesn't feel real," Culpo wrote on Instagram , shortly after the news was announced Monday.
Along with Culpo, models Kate Bock and Jasmine Sanders will also be on this year's cover. SI is producing four issues, one with the trio and one of each model individually. The featured photos were shot in Bali, Indonesia in November 2019.

According to a a plea bargain agreement they signed with authorities last month, Refaeli is to serve nine months of community service while her mother will be sent to prison for 16 months. The two are also ordered to pay a $1.5 million fine on top of millions of back taxes owed to the state.

State College, PA - From Penn State Grad to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model: Christie
When Christie Valdiserri graduated from Penn State in 2016, she felt as if she had the world at her fingertips.

Fast forward nearly four years later, Valdiserri is now Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s first bald model. The journey from blonde to bald certainly wasn’t easy, but she’s maintained the same fierce and driven attitude since being diagnosed with alopecia areata.
