So much for being too much of a diva.
Despite reports that on-set bad behavior causing this Swimsuit edition veteran to fall out of favor, Kate Upton has landed Sports Illustrated's coveted cover for the third time.
The 24-year-old was revealed as the star of the 2017 edition on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday.

The 2017 edition marks the third time that Kate has starred on the cover and to recognize that, this year there will be three different versions celebrating her famed curves.
The magazine helped launch Kate's career when she first appeared in 2011 and was named Rookie of the Year honor.
She went on to land the cover back-to-back in 2012 and 2013, which saw her become a household name.
Kate told Jimmy Fallon that she only found out on Monday that she had once again made the cover.
The model had been trying to find out whether three time was a charm for days.
She said: 'They're very difficult to read they totally ghost you.'
While sworn to secrecy, the Other Woman star confessed she had told some family members and fiance Justin Verlander.
'I would say don't tell me secrets,' she confessed with a laugh.
This year's Sports Illustrated has already been a eventful one with different shapes and ages celebrated alongside feminism and the return of some SI favorites.
