When reports surfaced that Leonardo DiCaprio [1] proposed to his model girlfriend [2] Kelly Rohrbach, we were admittedly more than a little heartbroken. But we were also curious, who was the woman to finally capture Leo's long term affections [3]?
While we knew a bit about Kelly and her recent success as a Sport's Illustrated swimsuit model, there's a lot more to learn about the 25-year-old. From her love for Zara to her surprising sport skills, this up-and-comer is seriously impressive. Keep reading for a breakdown on exactly why Kelly Rohrbach is the model you need to know right now [4].
She's Still Pretty New to the Modeling Game
She'd only been modeling for a few months when she was discovered [5] by Sports Illustrated.
She's Sports Illustrated's Rookie of the Year
The model secured 39 percent in the publicly decided competition [6], enough to take home the top spot.
She Hangs With Gigi Hadid
The duo teamed up to go vintage shopping in Nashville [7] and even donned matching outfits.
She's Also an Actress
She majored in theater and later went on to appear on shows including Two and a Half Men and Rizzoli & Isles [8].
Her Favorite Piece of Clothing Is Actually From Zara
"I have a Zara leather skirt that I have been wearing for four years, and if that ever got lost . . . I would freak out. I have the Chanel jacket, the boots and things like that, but it's the damn Zara skirt that I put with everything," she said [9].
She's Majorly Good at Golf
After competing in high school, Kelly earned a scholarship to play Division One golf at Georgetown University.
Her Go-To Look Is Yoga Pants
"I wear Lululemon leggings everywhere, even when I’m not working out," she told The New Potato [10].
She's Outdoorsy
She told Harper's Bazaar of her favorite way to stay in shape [11], "Running outside. I hate the gym, so anything outdoors. Run, hike, whatever, walk the beach. I used to live in LA so I was always outdoors. I'm having a little trouble here, I haven't worked out in a month. It's so hard in New York!"
Her Beauty Routine Is as Relaxed as Her Style
"I’m a minimalist — so in the morning, I use tinted moisturizer and some Charlotte Tilbury mascara. At night, I wash my face with Chantecaille face wash. If my face is dry, I put coconut oil on it," she said [12].
