Kate Upton who is sincerely warm in person, has a shiny new modeling contract with Next models, according to WWD.

Her Marylin Monroe copycat cover for W magazine was everything, and let’s not forget her mega important Sports Illustrated cover in 2012. We look forward to seeing more of this baetacular bombshell in future. She’s still doing the acting thing, and we do hope there’s a stronger role than the one she played in The Other Woman, because she can likely do so much more than run on a beach. She also just got engaged to a very lucky individual sports man, Justin Verlander a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. He and the baby animals she has cradled in CR Fashion Book are quite the lucky individuals.

Future’s bright for her. Shades required.
