Podcast: U.S. surfer Caroline Marks advocates for body positivity | NBC Olympics
While most teenagers spend their formative years fighting with their parents and trying to pass high school chemistry, Caroline Marks had other plans. In forgoing the traditional adolescent experience to pursue a competitive surfing career, Marks has been able to make a name for herself in the male-dominated sport.
In the third episode of the My New Favorite Olympian podcast (below), Marks details her whirlwind rise to the top of women's surfing and the body positivity advocacy work she assumed on the way.
At age 19, Marks is making her Olympic debut with her eyes set on gold. When thinking back 16 years to when she first hopped on a surfboard at age 3, no one is surprised at how quickly she has risen to success. Marks' ardor for surfing spurred from a desire to impress her five siblings, many of whom are fellow surfers, even as a toddler. Caroline's mother, Sarah Marks, concurred, "She wanted to be them so bad and they were so brutal to her."
The Florida native's competitive edge became clear when she won the Surfing America USA Championships at age 11, beating the so-called stars from California and Hawaii. Shortly after, the Marks family relocated to California to help Caroline become the youngest surfer to qualify for the World Surf League Championship Tour. Caroline was just getting started, but with her newfound global platform came the harsh reality of fame.
She explained, "I think you at 15, you know, you kind of become this little girl that becomes a woman and your body's changing and all these things are happening and hormones and things like that. And you're kind of like, whoa, what's going on?"
What's going on was that Caroline was receiving commentary from the public about her body, and a lot of it. Social media trolls began sexualizing her pubescent body. Caroline's DMs were flooded with insensitive comments and criticism that her male peers were exempt from. Gender dynamics in surfing are still prevalent, so it was a historic feat when Marks became the first female surfer to receive equal prize money as her male counterpart upon winning a WSL event at age 17.
"I think that [not looking at comments] was like the first step for me, I used to kind of read everything and I was like, no, I don't care what other people think," she said.
Shortly after her 18th birthday, Caroline participated in what she calls "the coolest shoot I have ever done": the 2020 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. The photoshoot was transformational in allowing Caroline to feel proud of her athletic figure. As she looks to the future, Marks wants to change the narrative around body positivity so that all girls can feel confident in their own skin.
Joel Embiid's girlfriend: Anne de Paula
Anne de Paula came into this world on March 31, 1995. She was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hundreds of thousands of miles away from Joel Embiid's homeland of Cameroon in South Africa. Anne is a Roman Catholic, which is not much of a surprise, considering she's from Brazil.
According to The Famous People , Anne grew up with a passion for soccer, a sport that's viewed with reverence in Brazil. Embiid could definitely relate to this, as Cameroon is also big on the sport. Perhaps if Embiid didn't grow up to be so tall, he would have had pursued a career in soccer instead of basketball. Nevertheless, Joel remains an avid follower of football.
Embiid wasn't particularly looking for anything romantically serious when his and Anne's paths crossed the first time. In fact, their initial encounter was a totally random one. Anne didn't even have a clue at the time what Embiid was into when she first saw him.
"He met de Paula when he wasn’t looking for anyone. They just happened to attend the same dinner with a mutual friend in New York City in 2018. And as she remembers it, neither of them really said much during dinner. She didn’t even realize he was a basketball player until he stood up at the end of the meal and she saw how tall he was."

"Brazilian model Anne de Paula made her SI Swimsuit debut as part of the 2017 SI Swimsuit model search, where she shot in body paint. She won the fan vote that year and became a 2018 SI Swimsuit rookie. Anne is a proud dog mom and splits her time between New York City and Philadelphia."

Kanye West, Irina Shayk Are in the 'Honeymoon' Phase: Details
Summer love! Kanye West and Irina Shayk's relationship is still new, but they're having a blast together, a source reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly .
"Kanye and Irina are in a honeymoon, lovey-dovey phase right now," the insider explains. "They're getting to know each other and having a lot of fun. It's not serious yet, but they like each other a lot."
Earlier this month, Us confirmed that the rapper, 44, and model, 35, have "been quietly seeing each other for a couple months." At the time, they had just been photographed together in France, possibly celebrating West's June 8 birthday .
Though the romance only started recently, the couple have known each other for years. Shayk appeared in the Yeezy designer's "Power" video back in 2010, and in 2012, she walked the runway in his show at Paris Fashion Week.
"Kanye was the first one to reach out," the source continues. "The romance was similar to his [relationship] with Kim [Kardashian] because he saw her on his video shoot in 2010 and thought she was gorgeous. He always thought she was special and she held a place in his mind."
Shayk, for her part, was previously in a relationship with Bradley Cooper from 2015 to 2019. The former couple share daughter Lea De Seine, 4. Before that, the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star dated Cristiano Ronaldo from 2010 to 2015.
Another insider told Us that the Skims founder "knew" about her ex's new fling before the news went public. "Kim doesn't mind because she saw how quiet and respectful Irina was after she broke up with Bradley," the source said, adding that she "wouldn't like" if West was seeing someone "who's going to talk to the press."
"Bradley would be fully supportive of whoever Irina chooses to date — he just wants her to be happy," a source told Us earlier this month. "Bradley and Irina are not just on good terms as coparents, they're also close as friends and share personal things with each other."
Despite their exes' approval, though, there's still another milestone the duo haven't yet hit: meeting the kids.
