Personal life
[edit]Serfaty was born in 1991 in Little Rock, Arkansas.[1] She married Ididia Serfaty, a property manager, at the age of 17, following an unexpected pregnancy.[1] The couple first met at church. They have a son named Roman. Her pursuit of a modeling career led to a family move to Los Angeles, which eventually placed stress on her marriage, resulting in divorce.[1]
After her divorce in 2013, Serfaty entered a relationship with YouTuber Logan Paul, which lasted from 2014 to 2017 and was reported as his longest relationship.[1] She was briefly linked to Joe Jonas, with whom she spent Christmas 2015 in Las Vegas.[1][2] Subsequently, Serfaty dated Niall Horan of One Direction throughout 2016.[1]
In 2017, Serfaty began dating Ed Westwick, known from Gossip Girl.[3][4] Following her breakup with Westwick, Serfaty got engaged to Kaan Gunay, founder of Firefly, in 2019. The couple separated in 2022.[1][5]
Serfaty was engaged to Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, the chief strategy officer of EssilorLuxottica, from 2023 to 2024.[6][5] The couple met at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017 and reconnected years later. Del Vecchio proposed with a yellow diamond on Italy's Amalfi Coast, as reported by Parade.[1]
Career
[edit]Serfaty was discovered by a modeling agent at a mall but was initially considered too young to be hired.[1]
Serfaty gained initial prominence as a contestant on Season 14 of America's Next Top Model, hosted by Tyra Banks. She was eliminated in the 10th episode of America's Next Top Model due to her look being deemed "too commercial."[1][7] In the episode prior to her elimination, she inadvertently started a fire by burning a taco in a toaster and attempting to extinguish it with a wet rag.[1]
Later, Serfaty joined Next Model Management in Los Angeles and participated in advertising campaigns for McDonald's and Toyota.[8] She also appeared in the music video for "Highway Don't Care," a pop-country hit by Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, and Keith Urban.[1]
