Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star Hannah Jeter, née Hannah Davis, frequently experiments with her style, often embracing trends like sheer styles and power dressing on the red carpet. Her breakout moment arrived in 2015 when she graced the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition, cementing her presence in the fashion world. That same year, she cohosted “Project Runway Junior” alongside Tim Gunn, engaging with young designers in creative challenges.

Hannah married retired New York Yankees player Derek Jeter in 2016 after three years of dating. Derek retired from MLB in 2014 and moved into business ventures, including the launch of the athleticwear brand Greatness Wins in June 2022, alongside Chris Riccobono and Misty Copeland. The couple now has four children: daughters Bella Raine, Story Grey and River Rose, and son Kaius, born in May 2023.
