Taylor Swift Fans Call Out Brooks Koepka's Wife, Jena Sims, For 'Weird' Behavior

Jena Sims, the wife of professional golfer Brooks Koepka, has struck a nerve with Taylor Swift's fan base.

Sims, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, has been with Koepka since 2017. They got married in June 2022 in Turks and Caicos. A little over a year later, they welcomed their first child into the world.

During a recent interview with People, Sims talked about meeting Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce at this year's WM Phoenix Open.

Even though Kelce is going to get married to Swift this summer, Sims had no problem revealing that he's her "hall pass."

"I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce, I mean, he's my hall pass," Sims told People Magazine.

As you'd imagine, Swift's fans weren't thrilled about Sims' comment. They found it to be incredibly disrespectful and downright weird.

"She is married and have kids btw," one fan wrote.

"Wild thing to say about someone who's about to get married but okay," a second fan said.

"If she were dating an average Joe, it'd be kinda weird. She's literally married to a pro athlete. Pretty messed up to publicly admit," another fan commented.

What's the latest on Kelce and Swift's wedding?

According to multiple reports, Kelce and Swift are expected to tie the knot in July. It was revealed by TMZ Sports that their wedding ceremony will take place at Madison Square Garden.

"Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ between 1,100 and 1,200 people will show up at MSG July 3 to watch the couple become husband and wife," TMZ's report states. "We're told Taylor and Travis have gone to great lengths to ensure privacy, and that includes communicating with invitees by text, rather than physical invitations."

Kelce and Swift are expected to have a plethora of guests in attendance, but we doubt Sims will be one of them.
