About

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is an English model, entrepreneur, and actress known for pairing runway polish with an approachable, country-bred warmth. She vaulted to global recognition in the late 2000s as a Victoria’s Secret Angel and the face of Burberry’s “Body” fragrance, turning classic features and a quick wit into marketing gold. A natural in front of the lens, she jumped from catwalks to Hollywood with Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). These days her attention leans toward business: Rose Inc.—once a beauty-editorial blog—has become a cosmetics line praised for transparent formulas and inclusive shades. Whether she’s experimenting with lipstick pigments in a lab coat, hosting candid tutorials for millions of followers, or stepping onto a film set, Rosie brings the curiosity of a student and the polish of a seasoned pro. Her ability to glide among fashion, film, and entrepreneurship makes her a blueprint for models looking to build long careers beyond the runway.

Before Fame

Born on 18 April 1987 in Plymouth, Devon, Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley spent her childhood on a small sheep farm outside Tavistock. Mornings meant feeding animals and racing siblings down muddy lanes—hardly the grooming ground one imagines for a future supermodel. Her mother, Fiona, was a fitness instructor; her father, Charles, a chartered surveyor, yet both encouraged their eldest child to set her sights high even when the only “runway” she knew was the barn’s central aisle. At Tavistock College she shot up to five-foot-nine by thirteen, a trait that invited both teasing and curiosity—especially paired with the full lips and double-barrelled surname classmates struggled to pronounce. A school-mandated work-experience week at fifteen landed her behind a desk at Profile Model Management in London. By day three a scout urged her to try a test shoot. Within a year she was signed, starring in a Levi’s commercial in New York and walking her first runway for Giles Deacon at London Fashion Week 2004. The leap from farm stalls to fashion halls was swift, but Rosie still credits rural chores for the stamina that carries her through thirteen-hour shoot days.

Trivia

  • Her first modeling paycheck bought a vintage Chanel 2.55—her self-described “pinch-me trophy.”
  • Makeup artists coined the term “Rosie lip” backstage at her 2009 Victoria’s Secret fitting to describe a soft pink-beige hue based on her natural pout.
  • A tiny swallow tattoo on her wrist nods to traditional sailor ink, symbolizing safe travel and a promise to return home.
  • During the seven-month Mad Max shoot in Namibia she practiced sunrise yoga and kept a gratitude journal to stay centered.
  • Forbes listed her among the world’s ten highest-paid models in 2022, noting that most earnings now come from Rose Inc. equity rather than runway fees.
  • She keeps well-worn Wellington boots in every home, insisting that “a countryside stomp is the fastest cure for jet lag.”
  • Despite racks of couture, her favorite garment is a battered men’s denim shirt she “borrowed” from her brother at sixteen—and never gave back.

Family Life

Rosie began dating British action star Jason Statham in 2010 after an easygoing chat at a Los Angeles party revealed shared West Country humor. They still describe each other foremost as best friends. Jason proposed in January 2016, and her diamond ring’s red-carpet debut at the Golden Globes sparked global headlines. Their son, Jack Oscar, arrived on 24 June 2017, followed by daughter Isabella James on 2 February 2022. The family divides time between a renovated townhouse in London’s Notting Hill and a mid-century-inspired home in Beverly Hills, both decorated with child-friendly corners and English-garden references. Rosie often shares quiet snapshots—Jack’s Lego skyscrapers, Isabella’s first steps, Jason’s Sunday-roast experiments—offering a glimpse behind glossy magazine covers. She credits motherhood with sharpening her time-management skills and guiding Rose Inc.’s clean-ingredient philosophy. When work allows, they retreat to Devon so the children can sample the same muddy freedom that once built their mum’s resilience.

Associated With

Rosie’s path has intertwined with a roster of high-profile creatives. Designer Christopher Bailey hand-picked her for Burberry Body, praising her “modern British elegance.” On the Victoria’s Secret stage she shared wings (and rookie nerves) with Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Lily Aldridge—friendships that outlasted the glitter. Director Michael Bay commended her endurance during the stunt-heavy Transformers shoot, while George Miller highlighted her calm focus amid the dust storms of Fury Road. As an entrepreneur she partners with chemists at biotech firm Amyris to develop Rose Inc.’s sustainable formulas and often swaps insights with fellow beauty founders Huda Kattan and Emily Weiss. Off-duty she supports UNICEF and Women for Women International, lending her platform to amplify voices that might otherwise be missed. From haute-couture ateliers to Hollywood soundstages and philanthropic galas, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley brings the same mix of professionalism, humor, and quiet confidence that carried her from a Devon farm to global icon status.
