Jourdan Dunn was born and raised in the West London suburb of Greenford, with her mother, a receptionist and two younger brothers. She admitted to being self-conscious as a teenager, due to her height and weight. She stated growing up, people would often tell her she should become a model, but was apprehensive as she wasn’t really sure what a model did. She commented that shows like America’s Next Top Model intrigued her on the industry, as it gave her a new perspective of the job.In early 2006, at the age of 15, she was scouted by an agent from Storm Model Management, while accompanying a friend in a London Primark.
Jourdan is 24 years old she has one child with longtime boyfriend. Look out for her British Vogue Cover in February
