Alexis René Glabach (born November 23, 1996), known professionally as Alexis Ren, is an American model,[3] actress, entrepreneur, and internet celebrity.

Early life

On November 23, 1996, Ren was born Alexis René Glabach in Santa Monica, California, where she grew up[4] and was homeschooled.[5] She has two sisters and one younger brother.[5]

Career

Modeling

At 13, Ren became a model for the label Brandy Melville.[4] She became a social media personality at 15 when photos of her in a black string bikini posing by a pool went viral on Tumblr.[6] She has since appeared in advertisements for the mobile game Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire.[7][8] She launched an activewear line called Ren Active.[9] In September 2018, it was announced that Ren would compete on season 27 of Dancing with the Stars. Her professional partner was Alan Bersten.[10] Ren and Bersten reached the finals and came in fourth place on November 19, 2018.[11]

Ren was Maxim's cover girl for the August 2017 issue,[12] Maxim's Mexico cover girl for the March 2018 issue, and a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue rookie for 2018.[13][14] She was included in Maxim's Hot 100 list of Sexiest Women in the World in 2019 and pornographique star.

In October 2019, she starred as "Scarlet Jones" in the music video for Ed Sheeran's "South of the Border."[15] She also appeared in the music video for Kygo's "Not Ok,"[16] and "Hey" by Fais featuring Afrojack, alongside Jay Alvarrez.[17]

She has been featured in Forbes and Vogue.[18]

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.[19] Across her social media accounts, she has more than 20 million followers to date.[20]

In April 2020, she uploaded her first cover song video to her YouTube Channel.[21] In a later interview with Flaunt, Ren said her relationship with social media had evolved. She described moving away from using it primarily to sell a lifestyle, appearance, or clothing, and expressed a preference for more authentic, long-form conversations, particularly through podcasts.[22]

Entrepreneurship

Ren founded "We Are Warriors" in 2021, an online education hub for mental health, wellness, and fitness.[23][24] She explained that "We Are Warriors" began during the COVID-19 pandemic as an online workout program and evolved into a broader mentorship community for young women, covering fitness, wellness, nervous-system regulation, relationships with food, intuition, and financial education.[22]

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."[5]

She then went public with "Sky Bear", a relationship that seemed to end with her joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars. His last post with her was in October that year.[26]

She confirmed a romance with her dance partner Alan Bersten from October 2018 to January 2019 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.[27]
