Koepkas wife made gesture for hall pass Travis | Golf News

Sports Illustrated model and mom of one, Jena Sims Koepka, has jokingly revealed that Travis Kelce is her “hall pass.”

Sims’ husband and PGA Tour returnee Brooks Koepka made his comeback to the American circuit at the start of the 2026 season. The 36-year-old boasts 9 PGA Tour victories, two of which got here at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and he not too long ago linked up with World Cup soccer stars before the match.

Koepka teed off alongside Kelce during this 12 months’s Pro-Am, taking part in the back 9 of TPC Scottsdale with Taylor Swift‘s fiancé. Sims received the prospect to meet the Chiefs tight end and playfully acknowledged her admiration for him — even revealing that her outfit was impressed by the three-time Super Bowl champion.

“I mean, he’s my hall pass and Brooks knows that,” she told People, referring to Kelce.

“Brooks was like, ‘You are ridiculous’ … Thinking about I planned my outfit. I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce.”

“I don’t know how to describe it. Sporty, a little more sportier than I would have normally gone in this type of day, but he was so nice, so sweet,” Sims said of Kelce. “He met our nanny. He met [my son] Crew, obviously Brooks, he played with Brooks, that’s how I met him.”

Sims and Koepka welcomed their first son, Crew, in July 2023, and the model went on to reveal that Kelce acknowledged her the second time their paths crossed in particular person.

She said, “At the Masters this past year, he came straight up to me and was like, ‘Hey, it’s good to see you again.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God. You remember?'” Sims went on to disclose that her relationship with the well-known soccer duo wasn’t close enough to warrant a wedding ceremony invitation.

“I wish. No. I signed the NDA. No, I’m kidding. I wish. I have not. I don’t know them like that,” she clarified, including with a snigger, “He’s like, ‘This girl is crazy.’ No, I’m not… It’s not too late, Travis!”

Setting apart the humor, Sims expressed her devotion to Koepka, whom she wed in 2022. “No, I like my setup. I have a pretty good setup. I won’t change it for the world,” she acknowledged.

The couple’s romance first sparked when Sims took a daring step by sliding into Koepka’s Instagram direct messages, decided to ship one thing compelling enough to get a reply.

“I still have it. I screenshot it,” she revealed. “I actually screenshotted the first time he followed me, the first photo he liked and our first date… I was like, ‘I know this is my husband. He just doesn’t know it yet.'”
