Early life
McGrady was born in Los Angeles, to American actor Michael McGrady and model Brynja McGrady.[2] She has an older sister, fellow model, Michaela McGrady. The two sisters host a podcast titled Model Citizen.[3] Her younger brother Tynan died in a car accident in 2021.[4]
Career
McGrady started her career as a straight sized model at age 15.[5] At 19, she decided to start plus size modeling because she could not maintain the 00 standard set by her agency.[6] In 2017, she became the largest model (size 16) to appear in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.[7][8][9] In 2019, she was the first plus-size model on a cover of The Knot.[10]
