Olympic Gold Medalist Suni Lee Celebrates 23rd Birthday With Bikini-Loving Friends In Turks & Caicos

U.S. Olympic champion Suni Lee traveled to Turks and Caicos for a relaxing poolside party for her 23rd birthday.

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model formed a large social media following, especially after last year’s Summer Olympics. The Team USA gymnast documented her vacation to the Caribbean on TikTok. In one of the videos, she wore a blue-and-yellow flower bikini. “Turks for my bdayy,” she captioned the video.

The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British archipelago territory, southeast of the Bahamas. It is home to the beautiful Grace Bay Beach, renowned for its white sands and clear waters. Tourists can snorkel around in the coral reefs or take an island-hopping cruise to Iguana Island.

Last November, Lee shared her dating preferences during her appearance on the HAHA podcast. “I feel like my type is, like, athletes. I like a very emotionally intelligent man,” she revealed.

“I feel like a lot of the guys that I’ve talked to or come across, they always just end up being so immature,” she continued. “And I’m like, you’re five, six years older than me, and you act like that. I act older than you.”

Lee has not yet confirmed her status in the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In previous competitions, the gymnast has won medals in Tokyo and Paris, including a gold in both years.

Her success on the mat also translated into success in the modeling world. Lee has partnered with Victoria’s Secret and Skims. The gymnast made headlines for her debut at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last November, showing off the company’s PINK line.

Suni, whose real name is Sunisa, won the 2020 Olympics all-around gold medalist, in addition to the bronze medalist on uneven bars. In addition, she was the silver medalist for the 2019 World Championship on the floor.
