She was a Victoria's Secret Angel from 1997 to 2005. By the early 2000s, Banks was one of the world's top-earning models.
She has an older brother named Devin. Her parents divorced when she was six years old, following which she and her brother lived with their mother on weekdays and visited their father on weekends.
She initially attended ‘John Burroughs Middle School’ and later got enrolled at ‘Immaculate Heart High School’ in Los Angeles from where she graduated in 1991. Around the time she was 11, she faced body shaming for being tall and skinny.
