Martha made history as the oldest person to grace the magazine’s cover at 81 years old. ‘When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of ‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’, I thought, ‘Oh, well, that’s pretty good! I’m gonna be the oldest person I think ever on the cover,” she enthusiastically recalled in a promo video from the shoot. ‘And I don’t think about age very much but I thought that this is kind of historic and I better look really good.’ She also said she wants ‘other women to feel that they could also be on the cover.’
Meanwhile, Kim is the second transgender person in history to cover ‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’. This is one impressive lineup! Scroll on to see photos from the ‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’ 2023 launch night.
