Mom cried after seeing my Sports Illustrated cover pic, says Brooklyn Decker

New York, Feb 10 (ANI): Tennis star Andy Roddick's wife Brooklyn Decker has revealed that her mother cried after seeing her photo on Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue's cover.

The 22-year-old beauty graced the cover in a yellow Delfina bikini.

And her family is proud of her achievement.

"My mom cried," the New York Daily News quoted Decker as telling People magazine.

The pictures were shot in the Maldives by award-winning sports photographer Walter Looss.

"We're all on pins and needles before the issue comes out, because the cover is something all the girls want so badly," she said.

"So it's nice for my family because they don't have to stress about it anymore," she added.

Decker was unveiled as the mag's cover girl on "The Late Show With David Letterman." (ANI)
