Kate Wasley Facts
- When Kate first received the news that she had been selected to feature in Sports Illustrated magazine’s ‘Swimsuit Issue’ in 2018, she had wished to immediately share the good news with her family. However, she had to wait for several hours to do so as she was aboard a long flight from Dubai to London at that time.
- In 2014, she had visited Fiji and volunteered for several days with VESA (Volunteer Eco Students Abroad), a philanthropic organization that provides direct action support to communities, via student volunteers, in parts of the world that are often overlooked by traditional charities and aid organizations.
- She was once body-shamed by a teacher in her school in front of her entire class. It was then that she had decided that she would never let her weight be an excuse for her to be ridiculed. She eventually started modeling in 2016 to prove that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
- She had suffered from an eating disorder for several years and to put a check on her weight, she used to restrict her food intake so much that often she would eat just 800 calories a day. This imbalanced diet put further pressure on her body and made her feel even more bloated. She eventually realized the need to eat a balanced diet and decided to promote a healthy lifestyle for women by becoming a certified personal instructor.
- She loves running as a hobby and keeps herself fit and active by working out through participating in surfing events, netball, and boxing. In 2016, she had even competed in a triathlon (multisport race with 3 continuous and sequential endurance races) in Perth and had undergone rigorous training to be in good shape to compete in the event.
