Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Haley Kalil gets candid on personal health battle: ‘I was in so much pain’

Minnesota native Haley Kalil, 29, made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2018 and was named co-winner alongside Camille Kostek. She's also battled serious health issues.

Over 14 doctors and five years later, Kalil was diagnosed with endometriosis, urethritis and ovarian cysts, which left her in agony and tears behind closed doors. The 29-year-old said she attempted to get a diagnosis after feeling something wasn’t right but was often dismissed by doctors. Today, she is opening up about her experience in hopes it will inspire other women to take charge of their health and seek another opinion if they’re still in the dark.

The Minnesota native and founder of The Nerd Herd made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2018 as part of the magazine’s open casting call. She was named the co-winner alongside Camille Kostek.
