Elin Nordegren: Why She's Hotter Than Ever After People Interview

The words of Elin Nordegren might make you think twice about ignoring all those tacky magazines in the checkout aisle at the grocery store.

If not, the lure of never-before-seen pics might be just enough to do the trick.

Nordegren broke her nine-month silence to the press and granted People an exclusive interview to discuss her story before, during, and after life with Tiger Woods.

Here are 10 reasons why Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren is hotter than ever after her candid magazine interview.

No. 10: Loyal and Trusting to a Fault

Ignorance can be bliss, and according to Elin she had absolutely no idea Tiger was cheating on her and had enjoyed her life with the superstar.

She maintains that she didn't pay attention to the rumors and didn't believe her ex-husband was being unfaithful until she heard it from him.

No. 9: She's a Footballer

Among the wide variety of topics discussed in the People interview, Elin touched on her love of sports while growing up in Sweden, especially soccer.

She had aspirations of being a journalist but instead settled into a role as Jesper Parnevik's nanny, which brought her to the United States.

The rest is history.

No. 8: Working to Finish Her College Degree

Elin told People she has been taking classes to work towards completing her bachelor's degree in psychology.

Maybe that will help her to better understand how her ex-husband was able to be such an egomaniacal jackass.

No. 7: Content to Be the Woman Next Door

After not speaking to the media about Tiger Woods or any other subject for more than nine months, Elin granted People an interview in an effort to clear the air.

She also said she has no plans to conduct any further interviews and wants to live away from the public eye.

No. 6: Sexy and Selfless

Throughout the interview, Elin repeated her primary concern throughout the divorce process was preventing her children from entering the public spotlight. She stated her desire is to focus on her family first and herself second.

No. 5: She's Not Hurting for Money

How can you not be attracted to $100 million and a beautiful woman who is only 30 years old, especially one with a hot twin sister?

No. 4: She Won't Hurt You

Elin was eager to dispel the rumors concerning her skilled use of a 9 iron against Tiger on that infamous night late last November.

She called the notion that she was violent toward her mischievous ex-hubby "ridiculous" and maintains she was merely trying to free him from his SUV when she smashed the window.

No. 3: Still Shrouded in Mystery

Elin isn't going to return to modeling any time soon or attempt to promote herself by starting a reality show on the Oxygen Network. Instead, she is merely going to raise her children and stay out of the spotlight. How refreshing.

No. 2: Bleeds Red, White, and Blue

The most surprising news to come out of the interview was her desire to remain in the United States and raise her children. There's something so damn sexy about patriotism, right?

No. 1: Ready to Move On

Elin sounded like a woman ready to move in the interview, telling People, "I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions, and myself."

She clearly has what it takes move on from Tiger Woods. There's nothing sexier than a woman looking to rebound.
