With millions of followers on Instagram, British bombshell Demi Rose Mawby's career was already
off to quite a promising start before a short-lived relationship with the rapper Tyga made her
even more famous. Of course, there's a lot more to the model than her killer curves and
her well-known ex.
Making it as a model fulfilled a lifelong dream of Demi Rose Mawby, one that she never
thought that she'd accomplish because of her height. Mawby is five feet two inches, but
that didn't stop her from hoping that she'd be a famous model one day. She explained on
her website,
"Since I was a little girl I always dreamed of becoming a model. I loved being in front
of the camera and striking a pose. Now, my dream is reality."
Mawby was actually in school when she got her lucky break and was stunned at the chance
to pursue her dream career. She told Women Fitness,
"It was all very exciting and happened very fast! I never believed I could make it as
a model and at the time I was training to become a beauty therapist on my third year
of college but I just knew inside something more exciting was in store for me."
Demi Rose Mawby started out her career on Instagram. With her beautiful bone structure
and killer curves, it wasn't long before people started noticing Mawby and following her account.
She told The Sun,
"I've had Instagram since I was 18. Posed for selfies and pictures and it just grew."
Mawby first got her start on MySpace, according to an interview she did in a cover story for
Sixty Six magazine.
"In school I was quite popular on MySpace and that kind of followed on to Instagram.
It was really weird when people started recognizing me and stuff on the street. I just got used
to it."
Mawby struggled with her body image and had an eating disorder in her younger years. She
told the Daily Mail,
"I had a curvy figure at 16 and wanted to lose a load of weight so I went through a
period of getting so skinny and putting myself on a strict diet. I was so unhappy and hated
my body."
She revealed that at one point she weighed as little as 37 kilograms, or about 82 pounds!
Later on, she said,
"I woke up and realized I had to get better for myself. I started going to the gym, eating
normally, and now I'm so confident with my body."
Many people didn't become aware of Demi Rose Mawby until she started dating rapper Tyga
in 2016, shortly after he broke up with Kylie Jenner. While the relationship didn't work
out, Mawby wishes him well. She also wishes that people would stop talking about her only
in association with her famous ex-boyfriend. She told the Daily Mail,
"I was quite known before I even met him. But I'm still referred to as Tyga's ex."
She insisted that there's no ill feelings between the two, saying, quote, "We still
talk now and then, you know, just 'how are you?' and stuff."
Considering that they both dated the same man, one might think that Demi Rose Mawby
dislikes Kylie Jenner. However, Mawby swears she's got nothing but respect for Jenner.
We couldn't blame her if there was some bitterness, though, especially after many of Jenner's
fans criticized Mawby for getting together with Tyga.
In spite of all this, there doesn't appear to be any bad blood between the two celebs.
Mawby told the Daily Mail,
"There are no bad vibes, between us, I think. People will always hate on me, I guess. I
don't let the negativity get to me, it never ever gets to me. I'm so happy and I get more
love than I ever have online."
How does Demi Rose Mawby maintain her fit yet curvy physique? It takes a lot of hard
work. The model adheres to a strict workout routine to keep herself in peak physical condition.
She doesn't do it all on her own, though. As of 2017, she has had a personal trainer
named Dean DeLandro who guides her fitness journey and, according to an interview Mawby
gave Women Fitness, he, quote, "always creates the best training programs for me to reach
my goals."
Mawby elaborated on her fitness routine, saying,
"I train with Dean four times or more a week for one hour each time. We usually work on
my glutes, abs, and conditioning my body sessions with some cardio."
It's an intense routine, and Mawby said that it can be hard to stick to, especially as
she's often on the road for work. Still, it's clear that her hard work is paying off and
keeping her body incredibly toned.
Demi Rose Mawby doesn't just exercise, of course, to keep in shape. She's also very
cautious about what she puts in her body and makes sure to only eat nutritious foods. She
told Women Fitness,
"I am always very aware of what I eat and love eating healthily. I try to avoid as much
carbs as I can and I never eat bread, pasta, and I avoid sugar at all costs."
The model is proud of how healthily she eats, adding that even her friends are super impressed
with her nutrient-filled diet, saying to the Daily Mail,
"Everyone says I'm the healthiest person I know. The fattiest thing I will ever eat is
nuts and peanut butter."
She explained that her diet helps her stay trim, especially as her small frame gains
weight quickly.
"Any bad thing I eat my body isn't used to it and just puts on the weight. That means
no birthday cake!"
Life hasn't always been easy for Demi Rose Mawby, and, even now that she's famous, there
are still people who dislike her. She doesn't let the negativity get to her, though, and
wants others to do the same. That's easier said than done, but Mawby accomplishes it
by staying confident and focused on herself.
She told Women Fitness that she believes this is the secret to both physical and mental
health, saying,
"I'd say confidence is key, be yourself and be the best version of you that you can be."
Mawby added that a big part of living your best life also means taking care of your body.
She recommended that those who want to live a healthy lifestyle should commit to, quote,
"working out, having a healthy diet and looking after your skin by cleansing and moisturizing
well."
If modeling doesn't end up panning out or if Demi Rose Mawby wants to change career
paths, she can always fall back on her blossoming DJ career. She told Women Fitness,
"I absolutely love music. I love playing on the decks and to see the people enjoy it and
enjoy their day/night. I couldn't live without music! The DJing is a passion that I intend
to continue having fun with in the future."
Mawby began dropping tracks on SoundCloud back in 2017, and, while she hasn't garnered
as big of a following for her music as she has for her modeling, she's still racked up
a formidable number of listens on the website.
Demi Rose Mawby's father passed away in October 2018, and her mother passed just eight months
later. The back-to-back deaths were a devastating blow to the model, who was quite close to
her family. While Mawby posted tributes to both of her parents on her social media, she
hardly spoke out publicly about the losses.
The devastated Mawby wrote on Instagram,
"I am trusting the divine timing of the universe. I have faith that I am in the right place
at the right time, and I am going in the right direction. I trust that everything I am going
through now is teaching me and preparing me for my future. Everything is happening as
it needs to."
Before their tragic deaths, Demi Rose Mawby's parents were very supportive of their famous
daughter. Many of Mawby's poses are quite revealing, but her parents understood that
it was just part of her job. Her mom told the Daily Mail in 2017,
"We don't mind at all. She always said she wouldn't do nudity, not that we've told her
not to, her pictures are racy and suggestive but she shows them all to us. We're right
behind her. She's such a beautiful girl, why shouldn't she? If you've got it, flaunt it."
She added that Mawby had stayed grounded in spite of her growing fame and that any tabloid
reports to the contrary were simply rumors, saying,
"She's very kind and a really down-to-earth girl, nothing like what we are seeing in the
press. When she's at home she's perfectly normal. She loves her cat Raggles and her
big white Samoyed dog Leo. She's a great cook and is a homebody."
Mawby's dad added that he knew his daughter always had a big future ahead of her, saying,
"She was always interested in beauty and a good-looking girl to boot. I could always
see it coming as she's very ambitious."
Early in her career, Demi Rose Mawby was involved with Taz's Angels, a group of models who live
together in a mansion and are managed by a man named Taz, who has been referred to as
"the black Hugh Hefner." Taz's Angels claims to be a mentorship program for ambitious young
models, but it has sometimes been labeled an escort service.
Mawby eventually left the group, but she insisted that none of the young women were involved
in illegal activity. She told The Sun in 2016,
"No it was never like that at all. Not an escort agency at all. We were hosting clubs
and having fun. Just being popular on social media and showing people a bit of our life."
With fame often comes increased risks. There's no telling how far an over-eager fan will
go. Demi Rose Mawby has dealt with stalking incidents in her past that frightened her
so much that she refuses to have mail delivered to her house.
In a 2017 Snapchat story, Mawby revealed that delivery men have abused her personal information
by texting her after delivering things to her home. One asked her out, asking her not
to tell his employer that he had broken the rules by texting her. Mawby was understandably
frightened, especially as the men knew where she lived.
"And then, um, I get a text from Argos saying 'Hey, it's your delivery guy. I would like
to take you out.'"
She said, quote, "Today or tomorrow I could open the door to the wrong person."
From 2017 to 2019, Demi Rose Mawby dated DJ Chris Martinez. While Martinez is quite good
looking, it was probably his personality that played a bigger role in the pair getting together.
Mawby told The Sun in 2016, after her breakup with Tyga,
"I don't really have a type because I like personalities better. So I don't really look
at guys like oh my god, 'I'd love to be with him' because you never know how they are going
to be."
She added that she isn't really into pretty boys and could fall for anyone regardless
of appearances as long as they treat her well and have a good personality. She said,
"Just little things like open the door, little surprises like bring me flowers or get my
favorite food. Get some nuts or something. Cashews are my favorite. Guys actually do
that for me and get me nuts. It makes me so happy."
"Hmm...Too short. Too tall. Too aggressive. Not rich. Not cute. And this one has a girlfriend."
What does the future have in store for Demi Rose Mawby? While we don't have a crystal
ball, it's safe to say that the model is going to keep building on her impressive momentum.
In addition to continuing to wow the world through modeling, she also has plans to branch
out into another creative outlet: acting.
She told The Sun in 2016, quote, "I'd like a Hollywood career. I went to stage school
so fingers crossed."
While she hasn't talked about any upcoming acting roles, if her career continues to go
at the rate it has been, it's probably only a matter of time before we see her on the
big screen.
