Kylie Kelce doesn’t see herself posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
Kelce, 34, read a “shockingly common” message she received after chatting with Hilary Duff about her SI Swimsuit cover during a Thursday, May 21, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “The comment says, ‘@Si_swimsuit get Kylie for next year,’” she read with a confused expression.
“Guys…” she continued. “How do I say this nicely? No, thank you. Absolutely not.”
Kelce added that being a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model is one of the “top three” places she has “no business being” in. “I think it goes without saying that if I don’t like having my photo taken clothed, I’m probably not gonna like my photo taken naked. You know what I mean?”
Although she doesn’t see herself as a bikini model, Kelce joked that she would make a great cover star for ADHD Magazine or Food to Love’s Simply Bread issue.
“Just to make sure you heard me,” Kelce said while leaning close to the microphone, “I do not want to be in my bathing suit on SI Swimsuit. Big fan of the magazine though. Love it for other women. You guys are f***ing crushing it. You guys look hot and powerful and strong, and I’m good. Don’t call us. Don’t email. Don’t inquire. Don’t waste your time.”
Earlier this month, Kelce sat down with Duff, 38, to discuss her cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
When asked what her reaction was when she landed the cover, Duff replied, “My first reaction was, ‘Oh my god, yes, I’ll do it! S*** I gotta get in shape.’” She continued, “I’m not a model. I’m 5’2. I’ve had four kids.”
The actress continued, “They wanted me to feel my best and I was like, ‘I will do this! This is fun!’”
She shared that she flew to Turks and Caicos for only one day and back to Las Vegas for her tour.
“I felt really free doing that,” the singer said. “I mean, I have also been naked on the cover of a magazine so that was a little more scary. At this stage in my life, I feel really proud of myself and to be asked to be on the swimsuit edition was a big deal.”
For her cover, Duff rocked a cherry red one-piece, as well as a plunging cream design that hugged her curves. She donned soft glam and wore her blonde hair down.
