Xenia Deli

Xenia Deli (born 27 October 1989, Basarabeasca, Tighina, Moldova) is a fashion/swimwear female model. She is a former Victoria's Secret angel.
Xenia attended modeling school in Soviet state of Moldova, south of Ukraine, and claims the first person to shoot her pictures was photographer Alexander Ustinov. Xenia took on small modeling jobs until her big break, when Gavin O’Neill invited her to shoot. With the newfound exposure, her career took off: "It was so interesting as it absolutely was my first actual shoot… I was feeling so anxious about anything… and that I thought so much adrenaline, like I was really going to leap from a plane or something", the model explained.
Xenia has appeared on the covers of South African FHM, South African Sports Illustrated and Spanish FHM.
Known for modeling swimwear, Xenia has shot for Bare Necessities, Frederick’s of Hollywood and Beach Bunny Swimwear.
In 2012, she has also posed in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The same year, she shot on the Playboy magazine's "Sex and Music" April edition, along with Bruno Mars and Raquel Pomplun.
Xenia has actually appeared naked in a few of her photo shoots, including issue #4 of "Lovecat Mag - The Girls who Rock Issue", captured by David Mushegain.
In addition to modeling, in 2013, she has tried out acting. Xenia appeared in an episode of "The Mindy Project", portraying the character of Yana. Also that year, she collaborated with Ionel Istrati for the video of the single "Wake Me Up".
In 2014, Xenia was the heroine in Nikolaj Baskov's music video for the song "Zaya Ya Lyublyu Tebya".
In 2015, she was co-star in Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" video.
Xenia's appearance in Bieber's video brought her both nice compliments and bad comments, surrounded by rumors as well. Recently, Justin and Xenia were in a luxurious restaurant from Los Angeles, where the singer serenaded the Moldovan supermodel on the piano the song "Let It Be" by The Beatles, and at the output, they were seen holding hands. This fact caused some speculations that they were a new couple, but, however, despite the rumors, both of them denied the idea of being in a relationship with each other, Xenia even saying that Biebs just isn't her "type".
