Davis was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands and has gained popularity over the years as the girlfriend of Derek Jeter. This is her third appearance in the issue all together.

The cover shot was taken at a blackberry farm in Tennessee and social media has chimed in with mixed reactions.

Some feel the picture goes along with Sports Illustrated's previous covers, but others say it leaves little to the imagination and below the belt.
