Haley Baylee is making her triumphant return in the 2026 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue — and to celebrate, the iconic magazine shared a steamy pic of NFL legend Matt Kalil’s ex-wife working her enviably tiny waist in an eye-popping string bikini.
With the ocean waves behind her, the beach babe flaunts her flawless physique in the tiny fluorescent swimsuit, which is hot pink with bright yellow piping.
“Before her 2026 return, Haley Baylee had an eye-popping neon shoot in Hollywood,” SI Swim captioned the photo in a share to X (formerly Twitter).
“The content creator is back,” raved an accompanying article on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, noting that it marks her comeback after five years.
“Yes, you read that headline correctly: Haley Baylee is back with SI Swimsuit after five years!” writes the outlet.
Bayley was photographed by James Macari in Loreto, Mexico. Also on the shoot: SI Swimsuit 2025 cover models Lauren Chan and Paul Skenes’ longtime girlfriend/gymnastics star Olivia Dunne, and “brand staples” including rugby phenom Ilona Maher and Tom Brady’s rumored ex Brooks Nader.

“For those unaware, Baylee—a mega-popular content creator with an impressive 32 million followers across all platforms—is already a member of the SI Swimsuit family, co-winning the first-ever Swim Search open casting call back in 2018 alongside [Gronk’s longtime girlfriend] Camille Kostek,” continues the article. “She then debuted in the 2019 issue with her rookie feature in Kenya, returning once again in 2020 for a sophomore shoot on Scrub Island, BVI.
Bayley and Kalil were married from 2015 to 2022. He played for the Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans during his seven-season career as an offensive tackle. He retired about the 2019 season — just as Haley’s SI Swim career was getting started.
Kalil has recently remarried — and shares a child with — Keilani Asmus.
