Early life

On November 23, 1996, Ren was born Alexis René Glabach in Santa Monica, California, where she grew up[7] and was homeschooled.[8] She has three sisters and one younger brother.[8]

Career

Modeling

At 13, Ren became a model for the label Brandy Melville.[7] She became a social media personality at 15 when photos of her in a black string bikini posing by the pool went viral on Tumblr.[2] She has since appeared in advertisements for the mobile game Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire.[9][10] She launched an activewear line called Ren Active.[11] In September 2018, it was announced that Ren would compete on season 27 of Dancing with the Stars. Her professional partner was Alan Bersten.[12] Ren and Bersten reached the finals and came in fourth place on November 19, 2018.[13]

Ren was Maxim's cover girl for the August 2017 issue,[14] Maxim's Mexico cover girl for the March 2018 issue, and a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue rookie for 2018.[15][16] She was included in Maxim's Hot 100 list of Sexiest Women in the World in 2019.

In October 2019, she starred as "Scarlet Jones" in the music video for Ed Sheeran's "South of the Border".[17] She also featured in the music video for Kygo's "Not Ok".

Ren is the founder of a management company in Japan, Meissa Inc.[18] She has been featured in Forbes and Vogue.[19]

YouTube

In September 2017, Ren uploaded her first video on her YouTube channel, which has more than one million subscribers. Her second video, "10 minute ab workout" is her most viewed video to date, with more than 50 million views.[20] Across her social media accounts, she has more than 20 million followers to date.[4]

In April 2020, she uploaded her first cover song video to her YouTube Channel.[21]

Entrepreneurship

Ren founded We Are Warriors (WAW) in 2021, an online education hub for mental health, wellness, and fitness. The objective was to bring community and connection to women during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially Ren built a community over direct messages online which then transitioned to monthly challenges over the video communication software, Zoom.[22] Ren's goals for WAW are "to empower young women to transform their mind through a 360-degree approach, including fitness, education, journaling, and meditation".[23]

In April 2022, Ren announced Sirens, a women-led community built on top of the Solana blockchain that supports mental health, education, and eco-friendly living. The project attracted over 10,000 members within the first couple of months in a Discord community built through NFTs.[24]

Personal life

Her mother, a health nutritionist expert, died in 2014 due to breast cancer.[25] Following the death of her mother, Ren developed an eating disorder, which she later opened up about, saying she was in "a toxic state of mind".[8]

In her free time she enjoys ballet, attending ballet classes in her childhood and continuing to do ballet into adulthood.

Ren dated travel influencer and surfer Jay Alvarrez from 2015 to 2016. She confirmed a romance with her dance partner Alan Bersten from October 2018 to December 2018 while filming the 27th season of Dancing with the Stars. Ren was in a relationship with actor and model Noah Centineo from March 2019 to January 2020.[26]
