Five Things You May Not Know About Stacy Keibler
Based off of her body of work, Stacy Keibler is an actress, model, singer, and former professional wrestler. The 35 year-old Maryland native rose to fame in the early 2000s as a member of World Championship Wrestling’s (WCW) dance team, Nitro Girls. Over the next several years, Keibler would rise through the ranks of professional wrestling, eventually becoming a main character on World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) Raw. After departing from the wrestling world in 2006, Keibler went on to obtain small roles in several television series including Psych and How I Met Your Mother. However, even with several television appearances on her resume, many people are unaware of who exactly Keibler is and what it is that she really does. In a world where it’s not uncommon to be famous for doing relatively nothing, Keibler seems to fall somewhere in between. Although she has worked hard to establish herself, her real claim to fame seems to have more to do with her looks and past relationships than her actual talents. But while the world continues to wonder about her, her star continues to rise. Here are five things you need to know about Stacy Keibler.
5. Stacy Keibler dated George Clooney.
In July 2011 Stacy Keibler began dating actor George Clooney. After two years of what seemed like happiness, the two decided to end their relationship. Immediately after the breakup, rumors began to circulate as to why the couple called it quits. Some sources reported that Clooney had cheated on Keibler with his now wife, Amal Aladamuddin. However, earlier this year, Keibler, who is now married herself, seemed to be completely unbothered by Clooney and Alamuddin’s relationship. In fact, a source claiming to be close to Keibler stated: “Stacy is focused on her life with Jared [Pobre] and enjoying her pregnancy…She wishes nothing but happiness for anyone she’s dated, including George.” Although Keibler’s relationship with Clooney didn’t end in wedding bells, it certainly helped boost her public image.
4. Stacy Keibler believes motherhood is a special experience.
In 2014, Keibler gave birth to her first child, Ava Grace Pobre. During her pregnancy, Keibler revealed that carrying a child has changed her in ways she hadn’t imagined. She stated: “It has opened up my soul in a way I had only ever heard about. This has been a time for reflection and introspection, to rest and rediscover – to learn, grow and evolve” Upon her daughter’s birth, Keibler issue a statement which said: “Jared and I have been blessed with the new love of our lives. Ava Grace Pobre was born at home on Wednesday, August 20th. We’ve never experienced a level of joy and happiness like this before! Thank you so much for all of the special wishes and positive energy.” Since becoming more well acquainted with motherhood, Keibler seems to have fallen completely in love with her young daughter. After posting a photo of baby Ava, Keibler stated: “Ava has graced us with such joy, such light and such love — we never saw it coming. She is our special little lady, and I couldn’t be more thankful for how she has opened my heart.”
3. Stacy Keibler was once thought to have beef with Angelina Jolie
Over the last several years, there have been many reports suggesting that Stacy Keibler and Academy Award winning actress, Angelina Jolie, have not had the friendliest relationship. In 2012, while Keibler and Clooney were still together, rumors began circulating that Jolie did not like Keibler. Some sources stated that Jolie refused to begin a friendship with Keibler because she was aware of the fact that none of George Clooney’s girlfriends ever stuck around long. However, even amidst reports that there was some sort of feud between the two, Keibler told the press: “She [Jolie] has been nothing but great and nice to me. That’s 100 percent false… I’ve hung out with them [Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt] a couple of times and they’ve been nothing but nice.” In the end it’s probably a good thing that Jolie and Keibler hadn’t tried to form a serious friendship, because as Jolie supposedly predicted, Keibler wasn’t around for very long.
2. Stacy Keibler’s legs are 42 inches long.
Other than being George Clooney’s former girlfriend, Keibler has also gained fame for her gorgeous 42 inch legs. Last year, during an interview with HuffPost Live, Keibler shared that her legs were actually insured. Keibler explained, “You have to go through physical and lots of paperwork…I feel like it’s as difficult as buying a house. Like, you have to get a loan for your body.” Although Keibler has not said how much her legs are insured for, she has certainly worked hard to protect her investment. Keibler’s personal trainer, Juliet Kaska stated: “Stacy was born with stunningly long, athletic looking legs. But my job is to work on sculpting them so that she has more muscle definition and shapely calves.” Although insuring a body part may seem weird, Keibler is definitely not the first celebrity to do so. The legendary Tina Turner has also insured her famous legs.
