Being photographed by Steven Meisel for the Vogue Italia cover in 2011 was a career highlight. It was the first time they’d featured curvy women on the cover, and it was incredible to be part of that moment. I love changing the opinion of male photographers if they come to a set with a preconceived idea of curvy women being unable to model. Steve embraced the curve.
I met my current partner, Everest Schmidt, when I was 21. He was so handsome. I have a group of friends to thank as they were talking with his friends, but all I could do was stare at him and he did the same thing back. We fell in love very fast. Within two weeks, we confessed our love.
Everest is a very kind and sweet man, definitely the listener, not the talker, in the room. He was a student when we met. Now he works as a lawyer and went vegan when I did.
I love listening to Everest speak passionately about our environment; there is nothing sexier to me than seeing him care about Mother Nature. I fell pregnant five years into the relationship and we had our daughter eight years ago.
When I was 25, I was diagnosed with a blood-clotting disorder, which stems from lupus. I then suffered from post-stroke epilepsy. Everest has supported me on every step of this health journey. He is amazing.
I don’t have any interest in marriage and nor does he. We are in a committed relationship and the idea of having a wedding is my worst nightmare!
