Model, actor, TV host, podcaster, business owner is there anything Molly Simscan’tdo?
Most famously, she became a regular feature in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues in the early 2000s.
Sims also found fame in Hollywood around that same time.
These days, Sims is still just as busy as ever.
In addition to her many career ventures, she also has three children with her husband Scott Stuber.
“I’ve had 29 lives,” Sims once said toHamptons.
However, she’s as humble as ever.
As she toldNew Beautyin 2020, “My motto is ‘Be a nice human today.’
Embrace what you have, be thankful and be grateful.
With everything that’s going on right now, why wouldn’t you be?”
Molly Sims grew up in Kentucky
Molly Sims was born on May 25, 1973.
And if you feel good, you look good.'
And that has been my motto," Sims toldHamptons.
Sims left Kentucky after she began modeling but what she learned there has always stuck with her.
“I’ll never lose my roots,” she wrote on herblogin 2016.
“I love the gentleness of people; I love the openness.
The hospitality and of course, the food.”
“They made biscuits, they made cobblers.
It was about having family and friends around, and we were always eating.”
One of the first things she did was to join a sorority.
“We get two questions our senior year in high school: ‘What school are you attending?’
and ‘What house are you rushing?’
It’s like clockwork.”
Sims ultimately decided on Delta Delta Delta.
And, despite the stereotypes, Sims found her experience there to be invaluable.
If not for modeling, Sims toldYahoo!
Finance, “I would be a lawyer.
I went to university to be a lawyer.”
I think I’m a bit of a problem solver."
After she took some photos with the photographer, things started moving quickly.
“She saw something in me they didn’t see,” Sims reflected.
“If it wasn’t for Faith’s faith in me, I would not have a career.”
For Sims, breaking into the modeling industry was a dream come true.
“My Bible was Seventeen and YM and Sassy Magazine and Vogue,” she toldBUILD Series.
Life moved fast from then on.
“From that moment on from that summer of 1993… And I lived in Europe for almost six years,” Sims revealed.
The show ran in the ’90s and early 2000s and featured glimpses into the fashion industry.
Previous hosts of the series include Cindy Crawford and Rebecca Romijn.
“‘House of Style’ changed my life,” she later reflected toMarie Claire.
My exposure heightened instantly."
“I got, like, mauled with goats, I was fly-fishing in a thong.”
While modeling for Sports Illustrated, Sims sadly became unhealthily fixated on her eating habits.
Since then, though, she has developed a healthier attitude towards food.
Perhaps this paved the way for her next big role a spot in NBC’s “Las Vegas.”
As Delinda, Sims played a super smart entertainment manager who has an on-again, off-again relationship with Danny.
When Sims was first cast in the role, she took comfort in the size of the cast.
“Nothing is resting on your shoulders alone.”
“He was like, ‘Are you done now?’
Because my hands were in his entire closeup,” she recalled.
“I learned so much from him.
He was really hard on me and really great to me.”
As Sims explained toCosmopolitanin the aughts, she didn’t take her transition into acting lightly.
Instead, she was working hard.
“I’ve spent the past two years really studying acting,” she said.
“I think it’s important to come from a humble place.
Just because I could model didn’t automatically mean I could act.”
Sims first met Stuber through work and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
“Before I met Scott, I was freaking out,” Sims wrote candidly on herblog.
“Even with all my successes, something seemed missing.
I just couldn’t shake it.”
The pair happened to cross paths at a party and things took off quickly after that.
“Within about six months of dating, I knew,” she wrote.
The pair married after two years of being together.
Sounds like a match made in heaven if you ask us!
She became a mother
Shortly after marrying,Scott Stuber and Molly Sims became parents.
As of this writing, the pair have three children Brooks, Scarlett, and Grey.
With three young children, Sims' life changed rapidly.
“It’s like this freaking vortex!
It’s all-consuming,” she confessed in an interview withSheKnows.
Quickly, the glamour of her old life as a famous model and actor slipped away.
Sims even told an anecdote about being unable to shower without her children trying to climb in with her.
Luckily, Stuber is there to help.
In fact, as Sims toldYahoo, he’s always been just as hands-on as she is.
“I’m lucky to have him because we are a great team.
I’d definitely say we are equal players,” she said.
“Team Stuber, tribe of five we’ve got this.”
As she put it, “It means everything.”
“Listen, is it hard to age?
In hindsight, she wishes she could have been more gentle with herself when she was young.
Nevertheless, she’s started to practice self-care in more recent years.
Suddenly, she couldn’t find alone time.
Nevertheless, Sims found a way to keep working through it all.
At least she managed to keep her sense of humor!
She collaborated with Mark & Graham on a set of Mother’s Day gifts.
Sims co-hosts the podcast with her friend Emese Gormley.
“I wasn’t actually planning on having a cohost,” she toldHamptons.
“So many people are like, ‘Oh, how do you look like that?’
Or, ‘Oh, what do you do?'”
But I decided to with these conversations.”
Thepodcast turned out to be a huge hit.
As of May 2023, it’s regularlychartingin the top 5 across all Apple fashion and beauty podcasts.
Molly Sims launched a beauty brand for Gen X
Molly Sims never seems to slow down.
ForMolly Sims, skincare is as important as makeup.
As the beauty mogul explained toPeople, she saw a huge gap in the market.
“My girls want to look good, and they want their products to be cool.
“I thought, ‘Why is everything potent too strong?
Or, in ugly packaging?
And everything that’s gorgeous isn’t efficacious?
Sims went through all of the clinical trials herself, so she can back up her products.
As she put it, “It will change your skin, period.”
Is there anything this woman can’t do?
