The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover was revealed Monday night on David Letterman as a billboard in Times Square, and as Just Jared reported, this year’s cover model is Brooklyn Decker.

Right after the cover reveal, the 22-year-old wife of Andy Roddick tweeted this photo:

“Me w/ @MJ_Day one of the masterminds behind the issue (along with @darcie_517 ) After I had cried 3 times bc family flew in to surprise me!”

and “THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! I Wish I could respond to every single one of you but thank you so much for your AMAZINGLY sweet tweets!”

and “The issue is amazing, glowing, fun, the girls are happy.. it’s not over-the-top, the girls and editors should be so proud! THANK YOU ALL!!!”

But, as late as Monday, Decker claimed to not know who the cover would be, tweeting “And a lot of people have been asking if we know who it is.. we really, I mean REALLY don’t know!!”

Decker appeared in the 2009 Swimsuit Issue wearing nothing but body paint. Back in August, a Sports Illustrated editor tweeted some photos from the shoot.
