Multi-talented performer, athlete and Lingerie Fighting Championships (LFC) champion Jolene “The Valkyrie” Hexx takes center stage as the cover star of Playboy South Africa’s March 2025 issue.

Hexx, known for her striking presence in independent film, fetish wrestling and choreographed combat, brings her unique blend of strength and sensuality to the magazine’s latest cover feature. Shot by acclaimed photographer Miles Long, the shoot captures Hexx in a series of stunning, high-energy images that reflect her dynamic persona.

“When Playboy contacted me about shooting last minute for the South Africa March 2025 cover I was over the moon… and then panicked with three days to prepare! Outfits, shredding, tanning, nails, oh my! Did it!” said Hexx.

“The shoot with Miles Long (@mileslong4real) was beyond my highest hopes! He was obsessed with lighting and we took our time with posing and had great music to vibe with! The pictures absolutely reflect the perfect storm that was our photoshoot!”

A three-time belt holder in LFC and a longtime presence in both the modeling and combat sports worlds, Hexx embraces this milestone as she approaches a new chapter in her career.

“To be asked and approved to shoot a Playboy cover a month before I turn 40 is a highlight of my modeling career! I am so incredibly lucky to have this opportunity and feel so sexy entering my next decade!!”
