Sailor also chose to follow in her supermodel mother’s footsteps.
Sailor, who began modeling as a teenager, often accompanied her mother to shoots and was featured in Teen Vogue. The former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant previously told Fox News Digital what advice her model mom gave her as she followed in her footsteps.
“I think the biggest piece of advice that she gave me is to, first of all, be as kind as humanly possible to everyone around me that I’m working with,” Sailor said. “And that’s something I really try and stay strong on, even if I’m in a bad mood or anything like that.”
“That’s sort of the biggest piece of advice that I think makes the best mark on anything that I’m doing and on the world that I live in and on the career that I have, [it] is just being sure that I maintain a reputation where people feel safe and comfortable and loved and happy around me and appreciated.”
