The mom of Brooklyn Decker cried tears of joy when she saw the cover of Sports Illustrated with her daughter pictured on it.

Said Brooklyn: “We’re all on pins and needles before the issue comes out, because the cover is something all the girls want so badly, So it’s nice for my family because they don’t have to stress about it anymore…” And it wasn’t only the supermodel’s mother that was psyched, her equally famous husband, tennis star Andy Roddick, also gushed about his girl’s achievement on twitter: “so happy/proud of my wife … the new cover forsports illustrated swimsuit issue!!!!” Roddick wrote. “unreal… so excited!!!!!!!!!!”

Brooklyn Decker has been in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue several times before, after being discovered in a local shopping mall in 2005 and scooped up by a modeling agency. Brooklyn is also known as a sports fan, and is one of the few swimsuit models who has also contributed to the Sports Illustrated while fully clothed, in an online column analyzing football news. And at the age of 22, hopefully we’ll be seeing much more of her in years to come. She’s already done a little TV, hopefully she’ll get more time in the spotlight soon.
