Nina, who was born in a small town in Denmark, started modeling when she was a teen, after she participated in the Elite Model Look competition.
While she didn’t win, she caught the eye of the modeling agency – who decided to sign her – despite her having no prior modeling experience.
After graduating from high school, she decided to relocate to the US to pursue her dream of being a model even further. She headed to Miami, but the move was not easy for her.
She told Maxim that she arrived with just $40 in her bank account, and broke down in tears in the airport after struggling to communicate with her taxi driver.
‘I landed with $40 and a little piece of paper with the address for the model apartment,’ she recalled.
‘English was my worst subject in school. I was very shy about saying anything and was so scared.’
Even so, she overcame all the odds and soon launched a major career for herself. She has now posed for big brands like Billabong, Victoria’s Secret, Adore Me, and Bebe Stores
Even so, she overcame all the odds and soon launched a major career for herself. She has now posed for big brands like Billabong, Victoria’s Secret, Adore Me, and Bebe Stores, and has appeared in magazines like Vogue Mexico, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Maxim, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
She has also dabbled in acting, appearing in the rom-com Don Jon in 2013, and an episode of the show Entourage in 2015
When it comes to her breakthrough moment, Nina said it was when SI Swimsuit gave her the Rookie of the Year title in 2012.
‘It completely changed everything. After I appeared on Sports Illustrated, I remember I would walk down the street and people would recognize me,’ she told Fox News.
‘They would say my name. In Denmark, where I’m from, it was a huge deal. SI Swimsuit has this incredible power of putting someone on the map.
‘They gave me the confidence and the power to build something for myself. We’ve seen so many powerful women appear in that magazine who later become entrepreneurs and so much more. It gave me this incredible boost of confidence.’
She has also dabbled in acting, appearing in the rom-com Don Jon in 2013 (which also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, and Brie Larson), and an episode of the show Entourage in 2015.
In addition to being a successful model, Nina has become a popular social media star – and launched her own app where she dishes out fitness and wellness advice

On top of being a successful model, Nina has also become a popular social media star – and has racked up more than 1.7 million followers on her Instagram.
Her feed consists of posts that show her jetting off on glamorous getaways, enjoying beach days, eating in fancy restaurants, and partying alongside her model friends in some of Hollywood’s most elite nightclubs.
She also often shares advice on her account, especially when it comes to health and fitness – but she told Page Six in 2019 that she worries about coming off as a ‘know it all’ online.
‘I’ve always been like, “Should I be posting about this? Are people going to care?”‘ she admitted.
‘I don’t want to come across like a “Mrs. know it all,” like, “I know everything.” I was kind of scared to post about [health tips] because I know so many people already know so much about it, but I was also like, “If I could just motivate one person to go out and move, that’s all that matters.”‘
Nina has been vocal about her love of working out for years, and she even credited the gym with giving her ‘mental stability’ and helping her to ‘relax’ in 2016.
‘If I don’t do it, I feel crazy and I can’t go to sleep. I’ll get anxiety. So it’s something I love to do,’ she said to Marie Claire, adding that she enjoys ‘switching it up’ and does everything from SoulCycle to Pilates to yoga.

The bombshell is very passionate about the benefits that come with exercise, but she loves to remind her fans not to push themselves too hard.
‘You don’t have to be working out hours a day and every single day if you’re not feeling it,’ she told Page Six.
The positive reception to her online presence ultimately inspired Nina to launch her own wellness brand called The Agdal Method in 2020, where she shares advice on staying in shape and taking the best care of yourself
‘Even if it’s 10 minutes of stretching, or 10 minutes on the treadmill, a 10-minute run, even if it’s as little as 10 minutes, I feel mentally and physically so much better.’
When it comes to how she eats, she revealed that she ‘doesn’t believe in diets’ and loves to ‘treat herself.’
‘If I’m craving meat I love a good burger. If I’m not craving meat, I love a good Beyond Burger, pizza, anything salty and savory is my thing,’ she added.
The positive reception to her online presence ultimately inspired Nina to launch her own wellness brand called The Agdal Method in 2020.
She uses the app to shares advice on staying in shape and taking the best care of yourself.
‘I wanted to create The Agdal Method to start spreading the word that it’s not about how long you spend in the gym, going to a workout for 60 minutes and torturing yourself, or only drinking green juices and eating lettuce,’ she explained to W magazine at the time of its release.
‘What’s going on in your personal life, and your relationships, your finances, has to do with what’s going on your plate and how much exercise you’re getting in on a weekly basis.’
While Nina often oozes confidence, she has also been open about her insecurities – and once revealed a magazine refused to run a cover she shot because she didn’t fit into its sample sizes
The model certainly oozes confidence, and she’s not afraid to own it. But that doesn’t mean that she hasn’t had her share of self-doubt
Back in 2018, Nina said she was ‘disappointed and appalled’ after she claimed an unnamed magazine refused to run a cover that she had shot because she didn’t fit into its sample sizes
The model certainly oozes confidence, and she’s not afraid to own it. When asked by AskMen what her best piece of advice is for other women, she urged them to do the same, stating, ‘Just be confident in who you are when you walk into a room, feel like you own it.’
But that doesn’t mean that she hasn’t had her share of self-doubt. Back in 2018, the brunette beauty said she was ‘disappointed and appalled’ after she claimed an unnamed magazine refused to run a cover that she had shot because the outlet said she didn’t fit into its sample sizes.
Nina said she didn’t have ‘an average model’s body’ because she had an ‘athletic build and healthy curves’
‘Today, I’m disappointed and appalled at the still very harsh reality of this industry,’ she wrote on Instagram at the time.
‘A few months ago, I agreed to shoot with a creative team I believed in and was excited to collaborate with.
‘But my agent received an unapologetic email concluding they would not run my cover/story because it “did not reflect well on my talent” and “did not fit their market.”
‘The publisher claimed my look deviated from my portfolio and that I did not fit into the (sample size) samples, which is completely false.’
Nina said she didn’t have ‘an average model’s body’ because she had an ‘athletic build and healthy curves.’
She also slammed the ‘insensitive and unrealistic pressures of this industry,’ but added that she is ‘feeling more comfortable in her own skin and healthier than ever before.’
‘Some days I’m a sample size, some days I’m a size four, some a six. I am not built as a runway model and have never been stick thin,’ she continued.
‘Now more than ever, I embrace my curves and work diligently in the gym to stay strong and most of all, sane.
She also slammed the ‘insensitive and unrealistic pressures of this industry,’ but added that she is ‘feeling more comfortable in her own skin and healthier than ever before’
The model concluded by stating the the issue is ‘bigger than just her’ and ‘affects so many people not just in the fashion industry, but in general
She added that she was sharing her story in the hopes to ‘bring women from all over together in a celebration of their bodies’
‘I am proud to say that my body has evolved from when I started this crazy ride as a 16 year old GIRL with unhealthy and insufficient eating habits.
‘So, shame on you and thank you to the publisher for reaffirming how important it is to live your truth and say it out loud, no matter who you are or what size.’
The model concluded by stating the the issue is ‘bigger than just her’ and ‘affects so many people not just in the fashion industry, but in general,’ and that she was sharing her story in the hopes to ‘bring women from all over together in a celebration of their bodies.’
‘Let’s find ways to build each other up instead of constantly finding ways to tear each other down,’ she ended the lengthy post.
As for how she avoids letting herself get down, she told Yahoo that she tries to always remember that others are struggling more than she is.
‘I think about that there’s starving people in the world, and then I am like, “You should just shut up and be happy with where you are and who you are and what you are doing,”‘ she dished. ‘That was very cheesy, but it’s honestly the truth.’
She also told Fox that she tries to embrace her feelings at all times, even when they’re negative.
‘I think it’s extremely important to acknowledge that you’re feeling that way. And when you feel a bit off, take that day a little bit slower. Do things that make you feel good,’ she suggested.
‘It’s OK to slow things down and instead, do something that makes you feel good. That way you can end your day in a different place than when you started it.’
