Kim Alexis Secrets to Aging Gracefully and Staying Beautiful at 64
Kim Alexis was a regular on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in the 1980s.
The stunning woman hailing from New York graced not only the covers but also the pages of both Vogue and Cosmopolitan, all while strutting down the runways for Gucci and Ralph Lauren.
Her contemporaries were Christie Brinkley, Janice Dickinson and Paulina Porizkova.
Currently, at the age of 64, she has pondered over the continuous societal expectation for beauty despite the unrelenting passage of time.
Kim shared on Instagram that she often gets asked about handling the stress of maintaining a youthful and attractive appearance, which is indeed a valid concern. In a recent post on her profile, she discussed her thoughts on this topic.

She also penned a caption on top of the picture: ‘Aging is unavoidable. I firmly hold the view that we must relinquish what we cannot manage and find tranquility in it. I strongly advocate that beauty originates from within, stemming from a feeling of peace, acceptance, and recognizing one’s inherent worth.’
And in a video she shared that women should not ‘worry’ about things you can’t control.

The model expressed, as she wore a white-and-pink blouse, that there’s such a strong push to maintain a youthful appearance, yet aging is something that will happen regardless.
She mentioned that the aspects we can manage revolve around self-care, both physically and mentally. True beauty isn’t limited to appearance or cosmetics; it encompasses tranquility, purpose, happiness, and how one presents themselves in life. It’s this inner radiance that truly illuminates a person.
Currently, she’s not in the limelight anymore, but she’s flourishing beautifully as a mother to three children in Arizona.
Last year, she discussed her personal health journey with others, revealing that she had found comfort in embracing herself following years of battling hypothyroidism, menopause, and weight issues.
That caused her to pull away from public life.
She observed that people seem to expect us to maintain our youthful appearance, implying that aging is not acceptable. She finds this unfair.
Currently, this notable figure, who appears far more youthful than her actual age, is frequently seen on social platforms discussing methods to age beautifully. She recently expressed her well-being to People Health, and even graced their magazine cover in a casual denim outfit accompanied by her pet.
The woman born in New York City likewise stated during the conversation that she’s never undergone any surgical procedures or treatments such as Botox.
‘And I never will,’ she shared.
The blonde beauty added the older she gets, the more ‘confidence and wisdom’ she has.
Alexis also noted that she has struggled with menopause.
In her fifties, she mentioned experiencing a hormonal imbalance, as she had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism in her thirties.




She found herself gaining weight due to her hypothyroidism, which required her to learn patience with herself and understand her limits. While she wasn’t always pleased with the situation, she managed to adjust accordingly.
At the age of 54, one of her sons experienced a severe predicament that confined her to bed. It was then she discovered she was going through perimenopause.
However, she asserted that she’s an optimist who sees the glass as half full, and following the appropriate medication, she persevered.
The cover model confided that she, like many other women, is learning how best to grow older – naturally, effortlessly, and radiantly.

Additionally, she mentioned that she chose to step away from the limelight following the birth of her third child due to the fact that the fashion world can be unforgiving towards models as they grow older.
She pointed out that there seems to be a desire for us to maintain our youthful appearance. It feels as if aging is not an option, which doesn’t seem right.
Kim also reflected on her modeling career which began in 1978.
Following her contract with agent John Casablancas, he suggested she should lose about 15 pounds. However, she found this challenging because she was more athletically built rather than slim.
That caused her to try to ‘starve’ herself. ‘It was tough,’ the pinup allowed.
As a youthful 23-year-old, the tide turned in my favor when I inked a contract with Revlon for Ultima II. Soon after, love blossomed, leading to the joy of starting a family, and even dipping my toes into hosting gigs!

In the late 1990s, she was host of Daily Edition.
She acted too: in 1993 also appeared with Mike Ditka in the last episode of Cheers.
Alexis was also in the 1993 movie Body Bags, and the 1998 film Holy Man with Eddie Murphy.
In 2005, she appeared on VH1’s reality competition But Can They Sing?
