Early Life and Modeling
Imogen Mary Thomas was born in Llanelli, Wales. She began her journey in modeling when she was just 13 years old. At 17, she moved to London to pursue a career as a professional model.

Her first daughter, Ariana Siena Horsley, was born in February 2013, and her second daughter was born in 2015.
