Christen Harper discusses her experience of shooting SI Swimsuit while pregnant

Jared Goff and Christen Harper were expecting their first child at the NFL Honors ceremony in February 2025. Shortly after, Harper spoke with PEOPLE magazine about her experience shooting this year's Sports Illustrated early on in her pregnancy.

Harper said that while there were some challenges, the memories of the photo shoot are something she will remember forever.

"That was really an interesting time to be shooting in a bikini. Looking back, it was a little challenging, but it was fun because I'm going to have those moments forever," she told PEOPLE magazine in February 2025.
"Everybody celebrates when you have that, like, real bump. But that in-between time when you're kind of just feeling a little, I don't know, not so yourself, it's hard. So, I'm happy I got to celebrate that moment and bring something good out of it."

The Detroit Lions quarterback started dating Harper in 2019 after matching on a dating app. They engaged in June 2022 while on vacation at the El Dorado Beach Resort and Golf Club. They got married in June 2024 in Ojai, California.
