Christen Goff, the wife of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, isn't waiting until the start of the new league year to grab everyone's attention.
At the age of 20, Christen started a career in modeling. That turned out to be a wise decision on her part. In 2022, she was named the Co-Rookie of the Year for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. She has appeared in every issue of the iconic magazine since accomplishing that feat.
"Sports Illustrated has been a lifetime goal of mine since I was a young girl. For so many years, I hoped to get a casting in New York with SI but I never quite got there, so I decided SI Swim Search was the perfect way to take things into my own hands and go after my biggest dream. I would always be so excited for the issue to come out and count down the days until I could pick it up," Goff said. "I remember rushing to the newsstand to pick up a copy after school and reading the magazine from front to back about 100 times like it was my job. My favorite and most memorable cover was the 2011 issue with Irina Shayk-I had it taped to my school binder so I could look at it every single day."

Goff returned to SI Swimsuit for this February's digital issue, which highlighted wives and girlfriends of NFL players. She shared the spotlight with Haley Cavinder, Claire Kittle, Ronika Love and Normani.
"This [past] year has been such a transformative year for me. Being pregnant and becoming a mother, I think I have such a newfound confidence," Goff told SI Swimsuit. "There was so much ahead of me, so much change ahead of me. And this year, I'm stepping in just feeling like I know all those answers to those questions I had last year."
Although her digital cover for February might be "old news," Goff turned plenty of heads Tuesday by posting a swimsuit selfie on Instagram.

When did Christen and Jared meet?
Christen and Jared have been together since 2019. It turns out she actually sent the first message on the dating app Raya.
"I swore that he messaged me first," Harper told Fox News Digital. "But when we went and looked back, I actually sent the first message. "So all you ladies out there, you better send the first message because you never know. You gotta shoot your shot. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take."
By July 2025, Christen and Jared welcomed their first child into the world. They'll get to enjoy this NFL offseason as a family.
