"America's Next Top Model Cycle 20" winner Jourdan Miller revealed she received a surprise letter from her former husband following her win in Tyra Banks' CW modelling competition.
"He wrote me a long letter to apologize for everything. I think he knew (for a long time) what he did. He just didn't think I would become famous. I am glad that I was able to go through something so tough at such a young age because it has made me stronger," Miller told Asia One.
The 21-year-old Los Angeles-based model admitted when she was in the first cycle of "ANTM" featuring both guys and girls that she got married and then divorced at 18 due to abusive relationship.
In December 2013, Miller got married tl her current husband, who works in her hometown of Oregon's construction industry.
While Miller was born in Washington, her family moved to Oregon, where she attended Mountain View High School before joining “ANTM.”
She became one of the six “ANTM” winners who never appeared in the bottom two along with Sophie Sumner, Krista White, Nicole Fox, McKey Sullivan and Jaslene Gonzalez.
Recently, Miller graced the covers of Swiss Made Magazine and SÝN magazine and was featured in Ugly magazine, Cake, Ellements and Kode. Currently, she is walking the runway in the Digital Fashion Week Singapore 2014.
In another interview with Pop Spoken, Miller talked about the negative comments she received from the media and trolls after she won "ANTM."
In order to deal with cyberbullying, Jourdan said her solution is to calm herself down. For her, it does not matter because it is “somebody else's opinion.”
“I am myself and I just have to forget the criticism,” she said.
Recently, the 21st cycle of "ANTM" only had 0.81 million viewers, which is lower than its rivals "Hawaii Five-0" with 9.47, "Shark Tank" with 7.62 million, "Grimm" with 4.55 million and "Gotham" with 1.22 million, according to TV Series Finale.
“ANTM” premiered in 2003 and is now on its 21st cycle.
