Career
Photo of Tina Louise
As a model, Tina was first discovered by a photographer when she was 21-years-old. The photos he took of her landed Tina on the cover of Maxim Australia. From there she took home Australia’s bikini model title in 2007, which led to a number of swimsuit calendar appearances in Australia and around the globe. Tina said in a 2015 Inked (magazine) profile that she eventually became Australia’s most downloaded model.[6]
Since 2018, along with former Playboy Playmate Jayde Nicole and plant-based recipe designer Brittany Littleton, Tina is an investor in the all-female team behind Sugar Taco, a vegan Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles, California. On June 13, 2020, she tweeted a photo of herself in front of the restaurant, celebrating that they made it through the three-month coronavirus closure. Tina wrote in the caption, “So excited guys!!!!! @sugartaco reopens next week!!! Friday 19th June from 12-9pm We survived!! Now come get ya tacos!”[6]
Personal Life
Tina Louise and Diddy have a laugh on the beach
Tina grew up on a farm in the small town of Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia.[6] Currently, she lives in Los Angeles, California.[19]
Tina has two dogs, Gunther and El Chapo.[19]
Tina transitioned to a full vegan lifestyle shortly after relocating to LA.
Anxious to learn more about the meat and dairy industry, Tina flew to Toronto, Canada to bear witness to the animals on their final journey to the slaughterhouse. Tina returned home with a heavy heart and that changed her life.[19]
In October 2020, Louise and rap mogul Diddy (Sean Combs) were seen kissing on a beach in Malibu, California.[2] On October 15, 2020, Tina shared on Instagram a clip of herself in what appeared to be Diddy's infinity pool. 'Vibes,' Tina captioned the clip. The song Lovely Day by Bill Withers could be heard playing in the background.[5]
Tattoos
Louise told Inked (magazine) that when she officially became an adult, she got a small butterfly tattoo “to represent freedom.” She put off getting any more body art for nine more years due to her modeling career, eventually getting a cross at the age of 27. Tina said she didn’t start getting her arm sleeves done until she moved to Southern California. She told the magazine that Kareem Masarani from Newport Tattoo has done nearly all of her arm artwork and other extensive inkings.[6]
Tina has a tattoo on her back that reads: “There's nothing in a butterfly that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly,” which she told Inked (magazine) “means don’t judge a book by its cover. I was bullied in school for being what they called ugly, I later became one of Australia’s top bikini models. So this quote I hold close to my heart.”[6]
