Haley Kalil returns to the fold for the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, modeling a sultry cutout one-piece in a behind-the-scenes video on Tuesday.
The former scientist-turned-content creator was overjoyed to be shooting with the iconic brand in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico.
“I’m back baby!” Haley said in the Instagram clip, shared by SI Swimsuit.
She’s modeling a strapless red one-piece in another photo.
Haley and fellow SI Swimsuit models Olivia Dunne, Hunter McGrady, Brooks Nader, Lauren Chan, Bethenny Frankel, Molly Sims and Jocelyn Corona were photographed by James Macari.
The photoshoot took place in December 2025, a month before Haley was sued by her ex-husband, former NFL player Matt Kalil, for publicly discussing intimate details about their marriage and mentioning his manhood size during an appearance on a Twitch livestream in November 2025.
In his filing, Matt said he received “unwanted attention and invasive commentary from the public” and that family members, including his wife, “have been forced to endure the ongoing public circulation of these degrading and deeply personal statements.”
Last month, TMZ obtained legal documents filed by Haley, who stated she did not specifically name the former first-round pick during her now-viral appearance on a 2025 Twitch livestream — when she graphically detailed the size of a penis as “two Coke cans, maybe even a third.”
Haley, who married the former athlete in Hawaii in 2015, filed for divorce in 2022.
Kahlil, who lives a private life after retiring from the NFL, married model Keilani Asmus in April 2024.
Haley returns to the SI Swimsuit issue for the first time since 2021.
She made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2018 as a part of the first Swim Search open casting call, where she was named the co-winner alongside Camille Kostek, and went on to appear in four consecutive issues.
Earlier this month, SI Swimsuit shared its first teaser for the 2026 issue, including its first stop, Botswana, with photographer Ruven Afanador.
That shoot featured Kostek, Alix Earle, Penny Lane and Achieng Agutu and Meredith Mickelson, who will make her SI Swimsuit debut.
Haley is set to host the Netflix competition series, “Win The Mall,” premiere this fall.
