Latecia Thomas is one of the leading female plus-size models out there today. In a world and profession where being comfortable with and in your body is always being questioned, she has continued to encourage women of all shapes and shades to be comfortable with their bodies in her capacity and message as a Body Positive Activist.
Beyond that, she is also known for her relationship with rap icon, Lil Wayne. The two dated for a while and almost got married before they finally broke off their engagement.
Who is Latecia Thomas?
Latecia Thomas was born in Melbourne, Australia on September 3, 1990, and though information about her parents and siblings is not readily available to the public, she once referred to her mother as “Mother Theresa”.
She had her very early education in Australia and went on to gain admission into the university to study law, but sometime during her studies in the university she became disinterested with continuing her pursuit to study to become a Lawyer, and rather decided to obtain a diploma in Special Makeup Services as she preferred the study of Arts, working with colors and making others very beautiful.
She Started Modelling As A Child
She said in an interview that her mother enrolled her in a child modeling agency when she was a child and that she participated in a few child beauty pageants and modeling competitions when she was growing up. Latecia Thomas once participated in the Miss Australia beauty pageant when she was in her teens, but she felt so insecure about herself when she was referred to as a plus-size contestant.
She decided to find work in the fashion industry and worked with Marks Cosmetics before she quit. Thereafter, she decided to pursue a career in the Makeup industry because she loved to make actors and models look beautiful and glamorous; according to her, she loved working behind the scene with superstars and didn’t want to be in front of the camera at all because of her insecurities, but as several people mounted pressure on her to become a plus-size model, she eventually caved in and pursued that dream after resisting the suggestions for a very long time.
Professional Career
Latecia has been a makeup artist for about a decade prior to commencing her modeling career in 2016; she has stated in several interviews that all she ever wanted to be was a makeup artist – who makes the stars more beautiful, and it was suggestions and pressures from her clients, friends, and well-wishers that pushed her to become a model.
Her Relationship with Lil Wayne
Latecia really became more famous when news broke out that she was dating multiple award-winning rapper, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr – popularly known as Lil’ Wayne. The rapper stated that he saw her on the television and really wanted to meet the plus-size model, and definitely, his wishes and dreams came true.
They met in the Summer of 2019 and they must have really been so much in love as Lil’ Wayne made her the only individual that he followed on Instagram and they both got matching tattoos to celebrate their love. Early in 2020, her fans began to notice her donning a large diamond-studded ring showing that she was engaged, though she was initially coy about who she was engaged with she later revealed that it was the rapper, and a lot of fans were really happy for them, hoping that wedding bells would toll for them soon.
Why Latecia Thomas and Lil’ Wayne Broke Up
Around May 2020, Latecia’s fans began to notice that she was no longer wearing the “Carter” necklace and engagement ring in her pictures posted online, and rumors and speculations about what could have happened to end their engagement began to fly about.
Some speculated that the relationship of the pair turned sour because of the emergence of the rappers side chick named Kimberly Rose – meaning that he was unfaithful in the relationship, while another school of thought suggested that Latecia was being abused by the rapper and threatened to expose secrets of this to the public. There are those who claimed the relationship was ended by Wayne.
Since there is no official reason for the breakup from both parties, all we have now in the public space are unofficial reasons that should be taken with a pinch of salt; and there is a possibility that they may still get back together possibly in the future.
Before her, the rapper dated other women including Dhea Sodano, Christina Milan, and many others.
