It’s the new age of sexy. And 57-year-old Sports Illustrated bikini model Kathy Jacobs is the silver-haired mother of the movement. “Old is the new hot,” a smiling Jacobs told The Post.

The 5-foot-2 married mom of one is featured in SI’s 2021 Swimsuit edition, and is the oldest woman to ever be spotlighted in the issue’s 57-year history. (Sports Illustrated’s first Swim volume hit shelves in 1964 — the same year Jacobs was born).

“I’m closer to 60 than I am to 50 at this point,” said the small town Texas girl-turned-Calabasas, California resident. “So to be in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine representing ladies my age is just the best feeling in the world.”

Jacobs was one of the 13 rookie models discovered through Sports Illustrated’s annual Swim Search casting call.
