Meet The SI Swimsuit Model People Are Calling "The Next Kate Upton" (1:06)

Xandra Pohl is one busy woman. 

In the first three months of 2025, Pohl has already posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, DJ'd a major music festival in Aspen, landed a residency at a major Las Vegas beach club, attended the Super Bowl and College Football Playoff National Championship and even managed to enjoy some vacation time on the beach. 

On Thursday, the Miami-based entertainer and influencer went viral on MLB Opening Day.

Pohl was at LoanDepot Park watching the Miami Marlins host the Pittsburgh Pirates to kick off the 2025 season. She wasn't alone either, spending time with two famous friends in the crowd. 

Pohl hung out with Livvy Dunne, who was watching her boyfriend Paul Skenes pitch for the Pirates, as well as U.S. gymnastics legend Aly Raisman, who is close with Dunne through their contributions to the sport.

Dunne and Pohl have become tight due to their work with SI. The LSU gymnast posted a photo of the three of them together on her IG story, along with the caption "Big Paul fans."

Pohl, 24, made her SI Swimsuit Issue debut last year and returned to the magazine in 2025 with a photoshoot held in Jamaica in January.

"The legacy that Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit] has made, obviously in the first 60 years, has been monumental in not just the industry and the world, but also to all the young girls looking up to all the models of all shapes, sizes, races, whatever it is," Pohl said. "We are all beautiful [and deserve to be] confident in our own bodies. I feel like that is the best legacy you could ever leave."

You can catch a sneak peek of Pohl's 2025 SI Swim shoot below.

The 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue will be out in May.

In the meantime, Pohl is in Las Vegas at LIV Beach today, where she's set to have a residency this summer. 

A self-taught DJ, the Ohio native has been blowing up on the turntables over the last few years.

"Some common misconceptions I think people have about me is that because of the way I look or the way that I act means that I have an inability to do something," Pohl said in 2024. "Especially with DJing, being a female in this industry, it has been a lot to kind of break into it. And coming out of this, I just want people to know [that] I love who I am. I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing, and I'm confident about it, and I'm passionate about it."
