Running on Sports Illustrated’s Swimming Runway Show was a “dream” for Christen Harper.
The model, who is engaged to Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, made her fourth appearance at the showcase at the W South Beach in Miami on Saturday.
After the event, Harper reflected on the possibility on social media.
“Walking in the @si_swimsuit show for the fourth time was a dream,” she captioned an Instagram video of her on the runway in a black swimsuit.
Goff showed his support by posting three heart-eyed emojis in the comments section.

Meanwhile, fellow Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and golf influencer Paige Spiranac wrote, “Unreal.”
Her journey with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand began when she participated in the iconic publication’s annual Swim Search in 2020. Harper later became the co-winner of the 2021 Swim Search, the same year she made her first appearance on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway.
“@si_swimsuit has meant so much more to me than a magazine, it gave me the confidence to embrace who I am and ultimately pursue my dreams,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
‘I was told countless times by agencies that if I could just lose an inch or two off my waist, I would be successful and that I wouldn’t be taken seriously outside of LA because of the size of my chest. Instead of limiting myself to an unrealistic standard for my own body, I chose to trust that I was enough.

Goff revealed in April that Harper did a great job with their wedding planning
‘It took me a long time to fully love my body the way it is, but I stand here today happier and more confident than ever. I want to inspire other women to feel the same and treat their bodies the way they would a best friend…love her, respect her and ultimately believe in her!’
Her fourth runway appearance occurred as her wedding to Goff approached. The couple got engaged in June 2022.
‘It’s coming this summer, we’re excited. She did a great job with it. I’ve been fairly uninvolved…but I will give my input if asked,” Goff told the New York Post in April about the wedding planning. “But she did a really good job getting everything ready for the wedding and the day-to-day operations.”
