Kimmy, it is such an absolute honor to have you on Playboy! Tell us about your modeling journey so far. Thank you so much! I’m truly honored to be here Playboy has been a dream of mine for so long, and it feels surreal to be a part of this iconic publication. My modeling journey has been a remarkable adventure, especially at the age of 51. I’ve had opportunities I never imagined when I first started, and each milestone feels like a new chapter. Just this past year, I had the incredible experience of being on a huge billboard in Times Square during Fashion Week, featured in Bodyscape Magazine Issue 30, and now being here with Playboy. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m so grateful for every moment.
How would you describe your personal style? As a personal trainer, my everyday style is all about comfort and functionality gym clothes and athleisure are my go-to. But when I’m heading out for the night with friends, I love to embrace my girly side. I’m all about dresses and heels— the higher, the better! There’s something empowering about stepping into a great pair of heels and feeling like I can take on the world.
Best place you have ever been to in the world? My favorite place I’ve traveled to so far is Kauai, Hawaii. The island is pure magic it’s like nature’s own masterpiece. The lush landscapes, pristine beaches, and dramatic cliffs made it feel like I was stepping into another world. It’s truly eye candy for the soul! I’m already dreaming of the day I can go back and experience it all over again.
What was the biggest lesson from your worst breakup? Breakups are always difficult, but they can also be powerful teachers. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to never stay in a situation where I don’t feel truly appreciated or valued as a woman, as a mother, and as an individual. In the past, I was afraid to fully embrace my own happiness, so I stayed in relationships that didn’t serve me. Today, I’ve come to understand my worth and what I deserve, and I’ve learned that true happiness starts with self-respect and knowing my value.
What are some of your biggest dreams you hope to achieve? One of my biggest dreams has always been to be featured in Playboy. It’s an iconic magazine that represents empowerment, beauty, and confidence, and being part of that legacy is something I’ve aspired to do since I was 18. Beyond that, I’m passionate about helping women lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. I want to inspire as many women as possible to take control of their health and well-being, so they can feel and look their best because I truly believe that everyone deserves to feel as confident and vibrant as I do now. It’s about showing women that with the right mindset and tools, anything is possible.
What’s one thing about yourself that your fans might be surprised to learn? I think people might be surprised to learn that, despite my busy lifestyle, I’m a huge fan of staying in and binge-watching The Real Housewives it’s my guilty pleasure! I’m totally addicted! If I had to pick, it’s a toss-up between Salt Lake City and Miami those ladies know how to bring the drama, and I can’t get enough.
What are some of your personal favorite recipes or meals that you enjoy cooking at home? Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal of the day! Right now, I’m obsessed with making macro-friendly pancakes gluten-free oats, pumpkin puree, and egg whites. It’s a perfect combination of satisfying nutrition. Another go-to for me is a veggie-packed omelet. I load it up with all kinds of greens and toss in some chicken or turkey sausage for extra protein. It’s simple, delicious, and keeps me energized all morning.
Who has been the biggest influence or role model in your life, and why? The woman who has had the biggest impact on my life is my grandmother. She raised me while my dad worked long hours to support our family after we moved here. At 97 years old, she still has an incredible zest for life she doesn’t take any crap from anyone! Her strength, resilience, and unwavering confidence have shaped who I am today. She always says, “I’m going for 100!” and I truly believe she’ll make it. I know I’m an extension of her, and I carry her spirit with me every day.
What is the absolute worst thing a man can do to completely put you off? The absolute worst thing a man can do is constantly talk about how much money he makes. To me, it’s a huge turnoff. It comes across as insecure and superficial. I believe that true connection and respect should be based on values, character, and mutual understanding not on financial status.
Would you rather be loved, respected, or admired? I never settle. I want all three.
What are your future goals and aspirations for the future? My biggest goal is to find a harmonious balance between personal growth, career development, and giving back to the community. I believe that achieving a balanced lifestyle is essential not only for my own well-being but for everyone. I want to continue evolving as a person while also making a positive impact on the lives of others whether it’s through my work, my personal interactions, or larger contributions. Striving for that balance is what drives me every day.
