Where is every single America's Next Top Model winner now? From TV shows to ice cream shops
Following Netflix's docu-series, we're invested
America's Next Top Model is back in our lives as Netflix releases their brand new docu-series Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, giving a much needed insight into one of the most chaotic reality TV shows. And it's got us thinking, where are all the winners of the show now? As mentioned in the series, the show wasn't a guaranteed route to modelling success, so what has everyone been up to since? Did they all go onto model or have they taken different paths?
The good news: Most America's Next Top Model cast members appear to be doing well, despite what we can all agree was a harrowing reality television experience. And a bunch of them are actually successful models, so guess all of Tyra's lessons on smizing and, like, randomly posing in "nests," paid off!
The better news: Almost all of them are public on Instagram—with notable exceptions, including Teyona Anderson, Jade Cole, Tiffany Richardson, and the Babin twins.
The best news: We morphed into amateur detectives (waiting for the FBI to recruit us any moment now), figured out what everyone's up to, and are bringing you an incredibly important update on almost all of America's Next Top Model's winners.
Check out the status updates of the 24 winners —including Adrianne Curry, Eva Marcille and Sophie Sumner.
Adrianne Curry: Cycle 1 (Winner!)
After becoming ANTM's first official winner, Adrienne went on to star in other ~Very Important Reality Shows~ including (but not limited to) My Fair Brady—an iconically titled show with her then-boyfriend Christopher Knight. Sadly their whole...thing...didn't end well, but Adrianne went on to marry voice actor Matthew Rhode— and now lives in Montana where she sells Avon!
Adrianne came back into the public eye back in 2023 when she took to X to critique Melanie Lynskey's body and its relevance to her role in The Last of Us. In the since deleted tweet, Adrianne wrote: "Her body says life of luxury...not post apocalyptic [sic] warlord."
Lynskey went onto clap back and posted: "Firstly—this is a photo from my cover shoot for InStyle magazine, not a still from HBO's The Last Of Us. And I'm playing a person who meticulously planned & executed an overthrow of FEDRA. I am supposed to be SMART, ma'am. I don't need to be muscly. That's what henchmen are for."
Yoanna House: Cycle 2 (Winner!)
Yoanna is still out here modeling—and seemingly goes to Harvard Business School 💅. But that's not all, friends. Yoanna also teaches courses in content creation and does fashion styling!
Eva Marcille: Cycle 3 (Winner!)
As one of the (if not THE) most successful model alums from the franchise, Eva Marcille went on to star in Tyler Perry's House of Payne, Sistas, Real Housewives of Atlanta, and The Young and The Restless—for which she earned two NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama Series.
Eva has a daughter from a relationship with singer Kevin McCall, and she split from her husband Michael Sterling in 2023—with whom she shares two kids. The couple's divorced was finalised that year. However, late last year the couple appeared to reconcile.
Naima Mora: Cycle 4 (Winner!)
Not a lot of info out there, but Naima still models (+ acts!) and appears to be living the ultimate cool Brooklyn lifestyle.
Nicole Linkletter: Cycle 5 (Winner!)
Nicole appears to have taken a break from modelling, and is currently living a cosy life with her husband Adam and their two sweet kids.
Dani Evans: Cycle 6 (Winner!)
Dani took a major pivot from modelling other designer's brands to modelling her own! She has a super-successful unisex hat company called Monrowe, which is sold at Revolve and Saks.
Dani appears in the new Netflix documentary about the show, where she opened up about how difficult it was for her to get modelling jobs after winning and claimed there was a "stigma" attached to being from the reality show.
She went onto add she had a conversation with Tyra, who she claimed acknowledged the difficulties she was going through, telling Dani on the phone: "She was like, 'I knew there were certain doors you couldn't even get into because you did Top Model.'"
CariDee English: Cycle 7 (Winner!)
After yet another weird and WTF season of ANTM, CariDee hosted the Pretty Wicked reality show on Oxygen. She also pursued her passion for drumming in several bands and now works ~behind the lens~ as a photographer in Hollywood.
Jaslene Gonzalez: Cycle 8 (Winner!)
Jaslene founded a consulting service for aspiring models called On Set with Jaslene and has a Cameo—just in case you have an ANTM stan in your life who deserves a present! (Someone buy one for me, thx.)
Sal Stowers: Cycle 9 (Winner!)
Like many ANTM alums, Sal pivoted to acting, booking roles on All My Children, Ugly Betty, Switched at Birth, and (most recently) Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem. On top of all that, Sal has her own body, wellness, and nutrition brand and is a certified nutrition coach.
Whitney Thompson: Cycle 10 (Winner!)
Whitney owns an ice cream and fudge shop in Panama City Beach and is married with super adorable kids. We simply love to see it.
Whitney appeared in Reality Check, where she opened up about being the show's first 'plus-size' winner and how she ended up struggling during filming and comparing herself to the other women.
"Filming with a bunch of other size 00 models, I suddenly felt a lot more self conscious," she revealed. "I would go to set and they would have nothing that would fit me. It just makes you feel like s**t to not be the right size."
McKey Sullivan: Cycle 11 (Winner!)
McKey is married with six kids, and is apparently into MMA. Her modelling days appear to be behind her, but think we can all agree that those cheekbones are still working overtime.
Krista White: Cycle 14 (Winner!)
Krista's still modelling, and she semi-recently worked as the Fashion Director for Deluxe Version Magazine—but she hasn't posted on Insta in a moment!
Ann Ward: Cycle 15 (Winner!)
Ann lives in Dallas and works as a professional animator and illustrator! Also, according to her website, "She has a strong love for paleontology and tries to keep up to date on new dino discoveries." Cool cool cool, v. Ross coded.
Brittani Kline: Cycle 16 (Winner!)
Back in 2021, Britt revealed that she quit modelling for the second time and started working in communications. She's since gotten a Master of Professional Studies degree from Penn State University and lives with her son in Pennsylvania!
Lisa D'Amato: Cycle 17 All-Stars (Winner!)
After ANTM, Lisa went on to star on Celebrity Rehab and Marriage Boot Camp, showed up on Shark Tank to pitch her produce Dare-U-Go! (she made a deal with Barbara, it's casual), released not one (but TWO) albums, and had two kids with her husband.
Oh, and she makes political pole-dancing videos, which, obsessed.
Sophie Sumner: Cycle 18 (Winner!)
Sophie has a super-successful post-ANTM career and has worked as an Amazon Live host (casually interviewing the likes of Paris Hilton) and a contributor to the Daily Front Row. She is best described as a fashion girlie.
Laura Ellen James: Cycle 19 (Winner!)
Laura Ellen James is an actress (you probably recognise her from A California Christmas on Netflix—don't pretend like you didn't watch), and is married to Chicago Fire star Jon-Michael Ecker, and they have one child together.
Jourdan Miller: Cycle 20 (Winner!)
Sooooo, last time we checked, Jourdan's a super-active working model whose life (on Insta at least) is best described as giving FOMO and ~aesthetic~. However, she hasn't posted in the last few years so we're not too sure exactly where she is now.
Keith Carlos: Cycle 21 (Winner!)
These days, former NFL-player-turned-model Keith is an ambassador for Fashion Nova Men, still a professional model, and has two truly adorable kids.
Nyle DiMarco: Cycle 22 (Winner!)
After ANTM, Nyle competed on DWTS (and straight-up won), did some acting (including an episode of Queer As Folk) and—most impressively—released a NYT bestselling memoir called Deaf Utopia. He's also released an Emmy-nominated film Deaf President Now! on Apple TV+.
