Who is Katrina Scott? All about the first-ever visibly pregnant model to pose for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue

American fitness trainer Katrina Scott is breaking stereotypes set for pregnancy.

The 38-year-old personality is the first visibly pregnant woman ever to be featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue of May 2022, where she can be seen flaunting her baby bump.

Taking to their Instagram handle, the magazine shared a picture of Scott in a bikini and a note from the model and pregnant mother.

Expressing her gratitude, Scott told how women are expected to hide their pregnancy and bounce back to their regular bodies. They are always expected to behave "Selfless, Vulnerable, and Strong."

She added that she wishes to represent every woman who is expecting and said how their "bodies and minds are capable of extraordinary things."

In the post, the magazine hailed the groundbreaking shoot as a "Major moment."

"From Rookie of the Year in 2021 to the FIRST EVER visibly pregnant woman in the SI Swimsuit Issue, @katrinascott continues to show up and make waves!"
