One of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s longest-serving swimwear stars has left Instagram in awe with her ageless looks after the magazine profiled her ten-year evolution in its pages – with many remarking that she has only gotten ‘better’ and ‘more beautiful’ over the years.
Kate Bock, 34, made her debut in the famed magazine back in 2013 – and has since posed for the publication every year, with the 2022 issue marking her tenth appearance.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s official Instagram account celebrated Bock’s milestone on Tuesday morning, sharing a glimpse at some of her most popular photo shoots from over the years – beginning with her debut and ending with a stunning image from the most recent issue.
And while many were quick to offer messages of congratulations in the comments section, the majority of followers were left stunned by how much ‘more beautiful’ Bock has become over the years.

The Vancouver-born beauty started posing for the magazine in 2013 and has starred in shoots for SI Swim every year since, making her one of the longest-serving models
In 2020, the model was given the honor of posing for the cover of the publication, shooting two versions – one solo and one with fellow models Jasmine Sanders and Olivia Culpo
‘Getting more and more beautiful and sexy every year,’ one person commented, while another chimed in: ‘Getting better and better!’
Another commenter joked that Bock is ‘like a fine wine’, noting that she gets better with age.
‘We love her… only getting better with time!’ one other person chimed in.
Additional comments praised Bock as an ‘icon’ and a ‘goddess’, while several users urged her to continue shooting for the magazine for many years to come.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the model’s decade worth of SI Swim shoots, she recently admitted to Page Six that it still ‘feels wild’ to see herself featured in the pages of the iconic magazine – which this year featured Kim Kardashian, Elon Musk’s 74-year-old mom Maye Musk, singer Ciara, and plus-size model Yumi Nu on its covers.
‘It feels wild. I still don’t totally connect with the fact that I myself am in the magazine,’ she confessed.
After SI Swim shared a video charting Bock’s evolution over the past ten years, fans were left in awe of her transformation, with many noting that her 2022 shoot (seen) is ‘better than ever’
Bock’s 2022 shoot took place in Belize and saw her posing up in a series of skimpy bikinis while leaning up against a rugged SUV

Bock herself received the honor of being named as one of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s cover stars back in 2020, when she appeared on not one but two editions of the magazine – the first of which saw her posing alongside Olivia Culpo and Jasmine Sanders, while the second featured her in a solo shot.
At the time, the magazine’s editor-in-chief MJ Day spoke out to praise Bock not only for her years-long contribution to SI Swim, but also for the work that she does away from the cameras.
‘This year marks Kate’s eighth appearance in the issue,’ Day told DailyMail.com at the time.
‘Beyond her extensive work as an advocate for mental health and wellness, she has played a pivotal role as a creative and business-savvy collaborator for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand.’
In addition to her work with Sports Illustrated, Bock has also modeled for a number of other high-profile brands, including Victoria’s Secret, DKNY, and Guess.

Later this year, Bock will check off a personal milestone when she weds long-time boyfriend, Cleveland Cavaliers player Kevin Love, who proposed to her in January 2021
She is also due to tick off a personal milestone later this year when she will wed long-time boyfriend, Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love.
The couple – who started dating in 2016 – got engaged on the model’s birthday on January 30, 2021, and are set to tie the knot before the end of this year.
Speaking to Page Six, Bock said she feels fortunate to be planning the wedding with her partner – because they are so in sync with what they want the event to look and feel like.
‘We’re very aligned on our aesthetic and our vision and our dream and our style,’ she explained.
She added to E! News that she has been working with vision boards in order to bring her wedding to life, joking: ‘I have so many boards you don’t even know.
‘Kevin is very visual. It explains what’s in my head and then for him to agree or disagree or move things around so it’s really a very helpful exercise so that we both see the same thing.’
