Maye Musk, model, dietician, author and mother to one Elon Musk, also appears on the cover. “I’m very excited that they’ve decided that even older women can wear swimsuits and look great,” Musk told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “I think it’s really going to change how women feel when they walk out in their swimsuits.” Yumi Nu, one of last year’s Rookies, is also a cover model this year, making it a first for a plus-size Asian American stunner to do so.
