The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has an addition this year: men.

Besides its usual trove of bare-skinned models, the magazine includes seven “hot couples” from pro sports, including Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones.

In addition to the New York Rangers’ center and his actress wife, the other couples are: Jennifer and Denny Neagle (Atlanta Braves); Cindy and Herschel Walker (Dallas Cowboys); Diane and Daryl Johnson (Dallas Cowboys); Marita and Reggie Miller (Indiana Pacers); Tina and Dan Majerle (Miami Heat); and Amy and Phil Mickelson (PGA Tour).

Heidi Klum of Germany is the cover model for the first time. The issue hits newsstands Wednesday.
