Her outing comes after the Victoria Secret’s model reflected on the progress the brand has made over the years, saying it has opened up to diversity on the runway.  

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph last Monday she said: ‘I think that over the years Victoria’s Secret has opened up to more diversity.

‘I think we will see more and more in the coming years,’ Shanina added, explaining that the girls who currently strut the coveted runway work very hard.

‘The girls who walk for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show work really hard to be their fittest and healthiest.’

The interview comes after model Robyn Lawley, 29, launched a petition to boycott the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, for not casting any plus size models.

‘I am sick and tired of seeing the same body type,’ Robyn said on The Morning Show last month.

Robyn called for Victoria’s Secret to feature ‘a few other sizes’ and for the lingerie brand to add more diversity.

The Victoria’s Secret Angel split from husband DJ Ruckus – whose real name is Greg Andrews – in June 2019 after just 14 months of marriage and filed for divorce four weeks later. Their divorce was finalised on January 23.

In her divorce documents, Shanina – who cited irreconcilable differences for the split – requested spousal support but the terms of the divorce were kept under wraps so it is unclear whether the court granted her request.

The former couple had a prenuptial agreement in place.

News of their split came as a surprise to fans as just a few months before, the brunette beauty said she was ‘thinking about’ starting a family with her beau.
