AceShowbiz - Jasmine Sanders has been named as a 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue rookie.
The German-born model, who was raised in Columbia, South Carolina, launched her career as a teenager and has since gone on to appear in runway shows for the likes of Ralph Lauren, Jeremy Scott, DKNY and Miu Miu.
Jasmine, also known as Golden Barbie, has now been tapped as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, and she couldn't be more thrilled to have landed the sought-after gig.
"I'm so excited to be part of the Sports Illustrated family!" she exclaimed in a statement on Tuesday, November 13. "I love that they celebrate all types of women with different body types from different backgrounds. I can't wait to be alongside such icons as Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Irina Shayk, Chrissy Teigen, and Ashley Graham, just to name a few."
Jasmine, who is believed to be in a relationship with TV host and actor Terrence J, is the second model to be unveiled as a rookie in the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, with Camille Kostek, a former dancer and New England Patriots cheerleader, announced last month.
In addition, the blonde star uploaded a video to Instagram showing the emotional moment that she found out that she is to appear in the publication, and that revealed that her photoshoot would take place in Costa Rica.
"Is this real? After so long of working soooo hard I can't believe that I am finally able to announce that I am a SPORTS ILLUSTRATED MODEL!! I am so excited to be part of such an inclusive family that represents strong, confident, fearless, smart... oh the list goes on! These women are incredible!" the 27-year-old captioned the sweet clip. "Thank you @mj_day for believing in me and taking the time to get to know me. This was now my 3rd casting for SI and my most confident moment at that. I've come such a long way and honestly this couldn't be a more perfect time! Thank you to everyone that was involved in helping make this decision. I can't wait to make you all so proud!"
