A model, actress and content creator, Alexis Ren is the definition of a triple-threat. After initially going viral on Tumblr, the California native now uses her platform to share lifestyle content and sneak peeks of her latest projects.

Ren posed for the 2018 SI Swimsuit Issue in Aruba, where she was photographed by Yu Tsai. Her photos captured in the Caribbean island country were so striking, she took home the Rookie of the Year title. The same year, Ren competed on Dancing With the Stars, and ultimately came in fourth place on the popular ABC show.

Since her SI Swimsuit feature, Ren has landed covers of notable publications like Modeliste, Flaunt Magazine and Ocean Drive. Today, Ren is the founder of Sereia, a jewelry brand she launched in May 2025.
