But there are also plenty of things that Gigi is not, nor does she profess to be. She is not an expert on bathroom bill legislation or the proposed trans ban in the military. She is not always up-to-date on the latest progressive lingo , and doesn't really want to debate the finer points of femme gender presentation or feminism.
And yet. All she has to do is be herself. Gigi Gorgeous has been in a relationship with Nats Getty, the designer and heiress, for nearly two years now, save for one very brief breakup an event that Gigi documented tearily on her YouTube channel. They are not — I repeat, not — engaged.
But the fact is: Earlier this year, Nats bought Gigi the most perfectly pink and literally precious ring, a princess-cut diamond surrounded by other twinkling stones, and that Gigi had sized for her left ring finger one afternoon when we were out together in Beverly Hills.
That day, the duo was dressed down and walking down the sidewalks of Canon Drive, their locked fingers swinging as they went. It was gloriously sunny, and Gigi needed new shades, so we stopped in a chi chi little boutique where the woman behind the counter knew them both by name.
Afterward, we strolled to a verdant promenade and waited for a few more members of the entourage. Then the gang all piled into an extra long escalade for approximately four minutes, and hopped out to do some shoe shopping. Welcome to a day in the life of Gigi Gorgeous. Gigi has always been destined for the limelight. In early family videos, she is a smiley toddler vying to be the center of attention, a classic middle child trying to outshine her brothers.
The Lazzarato kids were baby duck blondes with rosy cheeks, plump like little human marshmallows. Family pictures look like ads for the wholesomeness of Canada, where Gigi grew up.
Her parents were adoring, supportive, financially secure — a blueprint of the future she hopes to provide for her own future kiddos.
But her happy childhood also contained some big questions. Gigi, whose birth name is Gregory, always felt different from her brothers. She is comfortable with references to her birth name, which is a term she prefers over dead name. When Gigi turned seven, she had a party at the local gymnastics academy, where a competitive diving coach spotted her and suggested to her mom that she would be a natural on the board. From that first day in the pool, Gigi was hooked on the sport, which played into not only her natural gift for showmanship but also her tenacious athleticism.
At one point, she even switched to a high performance high school so that she could be in the pool during the day, too. Her diving career hit a high point when she won first place at a national competition in Canada, putting her on what might have been an Olympic track.
But away from the board, Gigi was not so certain about anything. She had long tamped down a desire to wear makeup and feminine clothes. She longed to resemble them herself. A year after nationals, Gigi decided she was done. She went back to her old school, connected with her old friends. But still, something was missing. She turned to the internet.
The first Gregory Gorgeous video, which is still up on the Gigi Gorgeous channel today, is a self-described homage. Its star says she was inspired by the upstart beauty vloggers of the day — Michelle Phan, Juicy Star, All That Glitters — but that she knew literally nothing about makeup when she started.
Though she previously identified as bisexual, she later came out as a lesbian in the fall of For the past couple of years, she has been in a relationship with Natalia Williams, a member of the Getty family.
In March , it was announced that the two had gotten engaged. Prior to graduating, however, she left to focus on her online career.

It was August who brought Gigi and Nats together. He cast them both as models in his Universal Studios show. That opportunity came a few months later, when they flew to Paris to walk in a ready-to-wear show for August.
