When we’re not watching Chrissy Teigen’s Instagram videos on repeat (the ones where she dresses her baby daughter Luna up), we’re laughing at her DGAF clapbacks to Twitter trolls. Now, the model – excuse me, the model who proudly shows off her stretch-marks – has returned to the magazine that made her a big name; Sports Illustrated.

Preview shots have been released of the 31-year-old model and television host with Sports Illustrated editor, MJ Day, revealing Teigen requested to wear one-piece swimsuits for the shoot and asked if she could cover up with a blanket. “I forgot how stupidly painful it is to pop your ass all day,” she said. “For a mother, it’s nice to be able to be back in your element and it’s so important to my well-being that I’m able to come out here and something that I’m proud of.”

Crew had to reportedly convince Teigen she looked incredible in a two-piece and after viewing the monitors, the model agreed to keep shooting. “It took James [Macari] shooting it and for me to see the photos to know that it was going to be OK,” she said. “MJ’s right, and I don’t want to say this to her, but the tinier the suit, the tinier and hotter you look.”
