“I think that comes with age,”
Behati told E! News in an exclusive interview ahead of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Oct. 15.
“I think that comes with realizing that this is a job and that it doesn’t define your whole life.”
While model life can feel all-consuming, having her family as a major source of support has helped her find the right balance.
“It’s tough and I think sometimes you get lost in it,” Behati, 36, added. “I think it’s just about the girls that realize this is a job. We have our kids, our husbands, our boyfriends outside of this. You kinda remind yourself to stay grounded outside of it and just to enjoy it and have fun.”
Behati’s return to the Victoria’s Secret runway Oct. 15 comes as the brand holds its first show in six years after canceling its 2019 event.
“We’re feeling good, we’re feeling excited, we’re feeling nervous—good nerves,” she said of the show’s return. “Just excited to see all my friends. It’s been fun.”
Plus, she’s in good company as she is returning with fellow veteran angels Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Jasmine Tookes and Candice Swanepoel.
“I’m staying in a hotel with Candice,” Behati shared. “I saw her at like six in the morning and we had coffee.”
And in her years working with her fellow angels, Behati’s taken some valuable lessons with her.
“Adriana’s always been on time,” she told E! News. “I’m taking that from her, never be late. Be nice to everyone, be yourself, speak up.”
