Telli Swift is a Filipino model, entrepreneur, reality TV personality, and “fempowerist” living in the United States. She is engaged to WBC heavyweight champion and professional boxer Deontay Wilder. She was cast in the reality television series “WAGS Atlanta,” which debuted on the E! channel in January 2018. ‘Stars Strike 4 Funds’, a reality TV film that aired in November 2018, included her among the celebrities that helped raise money and awareness for three organizations: Autism Works Now, Boo2Bullying, and Autism Care Today. She was involved in the founding of the Boxing WAG Association, a nonprofit organization that supports children and families by raising money for service providers. She started an app as an entrepreneur to support women in empowering others and herself. She had previously been a nurse and a model.
Ascent to Fame
Having worked as a model since she was a little child, Telli Swift later appeared in periodicals and commercial campaigns. She participated in a number of beauty pageants during this period. She had been a model for XXotic Angels for a while. Nevertheless, she relocated to Los Angeles, California in order to work as an emergency room nurse. After that, she started working as a nurse in Beverly Hills’ trauma unit and plastic surgery recovery department. Sadly, having to devote more of her attention to her family after becoming a mother in her early 20s hurt her nursing career. She started dating boxer Deontay Wilder in 2015, and that’s when she got media attention. Although she has occasionally appeared in the media to support her fiancé, she became more well-known in 2018 when she was cast on the reality television program “WAGS Atlanta” on the E! Network.
Personal & Family Life
On January 24, 1987, Telli Swift—real name Shuntel Swift—was born in Zambales, Philippines, to Reginald Swift and Vivian Crawford. Reginald Jr. is the name of her brother. She was reared primarily in Yokosuka, Japan, but had to move often during her youth due to her military family’s birth. From the age of three, she participated in advertising campaigns as a child model, and later on, her mother pushed her to enter beauty pageants. She takes great pride in her reputation for southern hospitality and cooks fantastic food.
Connections of Telli Swift
When Telli Swift was just a teenager, she got into her first love relationship. At the age of 19, she married her fiancé, and in 2007 she gave birth to her first child, a son named Kerron. Sadly, she lost her first husband—whose identity has not been disclosed—after only a few years of dating.
Later in 2015, she encountered champion boxer Deontay Wilder at the airport in Los Angeles. At the time, Wilder was wed to Jessica Scales-Wilder, his first wife from his 2009 marriage. But as his relationship with Swift developed, he got away from his first wife, whom he eventually divorced in 2017. Swift and Wilder declared their pregnancy that same year, and they later threw a celebration to reveal the gender of their first child. On March 7, 2018, she gave birth to a daughter, Kaorii Lee Wilder. On their Instagram accounts, the couple frequently posts photos of their infant daughter.
On the set of Telli Swift’s reality TV show, “WAGS Atlanta,” at the beginning of 2018, Wilder proposed to her with an enormous diamond ring. Her intention to wed Wilder was previously revealed in a January interview with ‘People’. Her fiancé’s prior marriage produced four children: sons Deontay Jr. and Dereon, and daughters Naieya and Ava. He has been inspired by his oldest child, Naieya, who has spina bifida, a congenital condition.
Disputes and Scandals
Telli Swift wrote about an event on her blog in the beginning of 2018, stating that she and her friend had been stopped by a store security officer and were being investigated for allegedly stealing a handbag in the store’s parking lot in front of customers. She said that they were the victims of racism since they were suspected of shoplifting, and she added that she was eight and a half months pregnant at the time.
On December 1, 2018, during her fiancé Wilder’s super fight against Tyson Fury, she was herself in a dispute. She had previously told ‘TMZ Sports’ that her partner’s allegations that he had sex prior to battles were accurate—as opposed to most other boxers who typically conserve energy before a fight. After the fight finished in a tie, she posted a photo of Wilder’s opponent being knocked down to the ground on Instagram and said, “So this is what a draw looks like?” She continued by blaming politics for the choice, a viewpoint that was rejected by the majority of her admirers.
