Alex Morgan has always been a star on the pitch, but her latest off-field moment is turning heads in a big way. The retired U.S. women's national team legend's blue swimsuit photo from her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot has racked up a staggering 500,000 views, proving her appeal extends far beyond soccer.
Morgan, who hung up her boots a couple of years ago, has stayed close to the beautiful game through various roles. But she's also carved out a second act as a swimsuit model, posing for the iconic SI Swimsuit issue three times. Her most recent shoot came in 2019, fresh off a World Cup triumph, and it's that St. Lucia photoshoot that's still generating buzz today.
The blue swimsuit photo, in particular, has fans obsessing. Social media is flooded with comments like, “She’s incredible,” and “My favorite soccer player ever.” Another fan called it, “What an epic photo. Well done, SI Swimsuit,” while one simply declared, “Perfection.”
Morgan's shoot wasn't just about glamour—it had a sporty edge. The SI Swimsuit team captured her in action, blending athleticism with style. It's a look that resonates with her fanbase, many of whom remember her as a two-time World Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist.
This isn't the first time a sports figure's swimsuit moment has gone viral. Recently, WWE host Cathy Kelley turned up the heat with a stunning swimsuit video, and WWE star Bayley sparked a social media frenzy with a rare swimsuit snapshot from Italy. Morgan's 500,000 views put her in elite company among athletes who dominate the swimsuit scene.
Morgan's retirement hasn't slowed her down. She remains a prominent figure in soccer, working as an analyst and advocate for women's sports. But her SI Swimsuit appearances show she's comfortable in the spotlight off the field, too.
Fans are already wondering if we'll see her back in the SI Swimsuit issue one day. Given the response to this blue swimsuit photo, it wouldn't be a surprise if the magazine comes calling again. For now, the 500,000 views—and counting—are a testament to Morgan's enduring star power.
Whether she's scoring goals or posing in St. Lucia, Alex Morgan knows how to capture attention. And with this latest milestone, she's proving that her legacy isn't just about soccer—it's about owning every moment.
