Talking to a reporter about her passion for yoga, she was asked if she ever practices with Orlando. “Ugh. Ha, ha, ha!” she stuttered, before finally managing, “Well, I’m sure he does yoga.”

She blushed as she then added: “He’s a sweetheart and that’s all I’m gonna say. Sweetheart.”

Asked if they spent Valentines Day together, she laughed: “I can’t tell you!”

“I work for Victoria’s Secret – but that’s my secret.”
