You think you know Behati Prinsloo?
Besides being Adam Levine‘s fiancée, a Victoria’s Secret model, and a fan of Mickey Mouse, what else is there to know about this South American beauty?
Well actually, quite a lot…
1. She’s a preacher’s kid!
“I grew up in a small town in Namibia. My dad’s a minister and my mom runs a bed and breakfast.”
2. She was an athletic kid growing up in Namibia, Africa.
“I’m an only child and pretty much did kid stuff, gymnastics, track, riding, field hockey.”
3. Behati was discovered by the daughter of Sarah Doukas, the scout who discovered Kate Moss.
4. She made her modeling debut at the spring Prada and Miu Miu shows in Milan and Paris when she was 16.
5. She didn’t always want to be a model.
She told Fashion Television that the work found her, saying, “I never wanted to model.”
6. She’s done some acting. Last year, Behati played a Victoria’s Secret model on Hawaii Five-0.
“It’s not something I’m pursuing at the moment… But it’s—it was just a fun thing that kind of came up, and I had the time, and it was Hawaii! I couldn’t say no.”
7. She’s into photography. In 2010, Behati did a photo shoot of her friend and fellow model, Coco Rocha, and her then-fiancé, James Conran.
“I think digital in some ways took away a photographers freeness. Not knowing what you have and seeing the pictures when you develop them is really nice. Every one comes out different, and I love the feel of film, the way it looks.”
8. She loves her cat; a hairless Sphynx named Gollum.
Seems like Adam found the purrfect girl! Congratulations on the engagement.
