ESPN shared the final images from Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jenning's cover and feature story for their upcoming fifth annual Body Issue. The magazine arrives on newsstands on July 12.

Jennings posed in the buff, not once but twice, for the cover of this year's magazine. She posed for the first time, while pregnant, and after the birth of her third child. The 6-foot-3 mother welcomed her third daughter, Scout, in April. She also has a son Joseph, 4, and Sundance, 3, with her husband Casey Jennings.

Jennings described her first nude shoot since giving birth as "scary as hell" during her extended interview posted on ESPN.com.

"For the first shoot, I was very pregnant, and that wasn't as scary," said Jennings. "I thought it would be, because I was big and rotund when I'm usually the opposite, but it was really comfortable because I felt almost like I was in costume," she told the magazine. "But for the second, I was two and a half months out from having a baby. I'm supposed to be tight and toned and strong, but I have a lot more work to do."

Jennings said in the behind-the-scenes video from the shoot that she saw her pregnancy as a "time to transform" her body.

"But having babies -- literally delivering a baby -- makes me feel like Wonder Woman," Jennings said. "Everything else seems minor compared to the soul-shaking thing that is labor. I'm still a critic of my body -- I'm still a woman -- but I respect my body more than I have in my life. It's not perfect, but I can't tell you how proud I am of my body."
