Brooklyn said of the surprise that she “burst into tears like a little child. It’s really exciting. It’s just now hitting me, so I am really happy.” A large sports fan, Decker compared her happiness to the New Orleans Saints‘ Super Bowl 44 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, February 7th. She added that her feat is “the equivalent of a model winning the MVP or the Super Bowl.”

Decker, 22, is married to professional tennis player, Andy Roddick, age 27. Brooklyn said in the interview that Roddick is “very proud. He knows it’s a goal of mine. To see me succeed, and to see each other succeed, it’s really exciting.” Roddick tweeted on his Twitter page, “so happy/proud of my wife…the new cover for sports illustrated swimsuit issue!!!! unreal… so excited!!!!!!!!!!”

We suggest that Any Roddick should purchase for his wife a unique yellow natural sapphire and diamond ring from The Natural Sapphire Company to celebrate her sensational accomplishment and to always remember the yellow bikini in the cover.
