The mom-to-be shares, “I’m a few days away from being 8 months pregnant, so now I’m just a little tired. I’m always just getting tired, anything I do. If I wash the dishes and make breakfast, I’m like, ‘Okay, I need a nap.’ That’s how it is now, but otherwise, I’m good.”

Herrington — who was thecover star of 2018’sSI Swimissue— says she was “happy to be back” and participating in the Florida photo shoot this past January given the pandemic shutdown.

“It was just so nice, first of all, to see everyone again and be back on set with the crew,” she says. “… It was a bit cold, I think that was probably the only challenge, but I was just so happy to be there, and feel a sense of normalcy. I wouldn’t say it was challenging. I was just happy to be back.”

“I definitely felt like I had to bring it just because I felt like it’d been a while, but I feel like I have to bring it every shoot,” she adds, explaining that “every year you just grow more confident” in front of the camera.
