Barbie Ferreira Boyfriend, Parents, Net Worth
Like many other children, Euphoria’s Barbie Ferreria had body image issues while growing up. As a chubby kid, she didn’t see any model or actress her size on magazines and TV shows, which demoralized her dreams of a career in front of the camera. Her introvert nature, on the other hand, helped her as she often made Tumblr videos and pretended to be a model.
One day on a whim, she took some pictures of herself and sent them to American Apparel. And, as a high-schooler, Barbie got the opportunity to work with the brand, which boosted her confidence. In 2015, her unedited picture featuring American Apparel’s lingerie line, Aerie went viral.
Since then, she has become a successful plus-size model and an advocate for body positivity. Barbie also featured in an edition of Seventeen magazine’s issue advocating against fat-shaming. Further, she hosted How to Behave; a Vice video series focused on self-care. The project went on to win the Webby Award.
Dating Status
Barbie is a private person when it comes to her personal life. She likes to keep her boyfriend details to herself. But, in 2015, she did mention a boyfriend while talking to the Wild magazine. However, she didn’t state his name, nor has she talked about him since the interview. So, her relationship status as of 2019 is not clear.
