Starting this summer, the publication, which just celebrated its 60th anniversary at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, will be launching e-issues “timed to major moments in entertainment and culture, revolutionizing the way fans engage with their favorite swimsuit content.
Earle did the big reveal of the iconic magazine’s sultry snap on her social media handles.
“Secret’s out,” wrote the 23-year-old podcaster who is dating Dolphins player, “aka NFL man,” Braxton Berrios.
Famous for how candid she is about her life, Earle admitted that she found out about the gig back on April 10 and had a hard time not telling anyone. The New Jersey native hadn’t even seen the pictures herself until Friday.
“I’m scared, I’m scared!” she said to the camera while going live, along with a pal. When SI’s post of her went up, they both shrieked.
“In a state of shock,” said Earle’s text over screen on TikTok.
