Candice Swanepoel is a willowy blond who has made a fortune modeling for Victoria’s Secret. When she’s not on camera, this VS angel usually keeps a low profile. This is why it’s interesting to learn more about what makes her tick!
As far as fashion models go, Candice is actually fairly mysterious. She doesn’t seem to feel the need to make an appearance at a lot of Hollywood events. She doesn’t date famous musicians or pro athletes. She doesn’t have a diva reputation.
She’s a huge celebrity on social media, but her personality isn’t as well-known as the personalities of other VS angels, including Miranda Kerr and Gigi Hadid.
Candice has a little boy now, who is the apple of her eye. As of late, she’s very vocal about the fact that women should be able to nurse their babies in public without being scorned or looked down on. This is why she’s such a great topic for this BabyGaga list. Nursing is natural and women should be able to nurse their babies while they are out in public.
It didn’t take long for the modeling scouts of South Africa to recognize the potential of young Candice Swanepoel. She was scouted when she was just 15 years old.
According to Marie Claire, Candice was scouted while she was shopping. This is a fairly common story. Lots of models-to-be are discovered at the mall or something like that. Model scouts check out public places to see where the next runway sensations may be found. Gisele Bundchen was scouted while she gorged on a Big Mac. Kate Moss was on a family holiday when she got spotted.
Candice is five foot nine. She may not have attained this height at 15, but she was probably already quite tall for her age. Height is important. Kate Moss was a “short model” at five foot seven. Candice’s height was a lucky break for her, as was her naturally slim build. She works out to stay fit but has the right genetics to be a model.
