Russian American model (born 1986)

Anna Sergeyevna "Anne" Vyalitsyna (А́нна Серге́евна Вьяли́цына; born 19 March 1986), also known as Anne V, is a Russian American model best known for her 10 consecutive year appearances (2005–2014) in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Vyalitsyna was born in the Russian city of Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod). Both of her parents are physicians. Her father is a sports doctor for an association football team and her mother is a pediatrician. Vyalitsyna started her professional modeling career at the age of 15 after IMG Models scouted her in Saint Petersburg while looking for new faces for MTV's Fashionably Loud Europe. She entered the contest and moved to New York after winning a contest sponsored by IMG and MTV. She became an American citizen on 16 November 2013.

In 2009, Vyalitsyna completed the ING New York City Marathon. She volunteered to guide a disabled athlete through the race for Achilles International and tweeted about the race in real time. In 2010, Vyalitsyna dated Adam Levine, the lead singer of Maroon 5, and they appeared together on the November 2011 cover of Vogue Russia. She also appeared in the Maroon 5 music videos for "Misery" and "Never Gonna Leave This Bed." The couple broke up in April 2012. After she and Levine ended their relationship, she dated baseball player Matt Harvey for eight months from 2013 to 2014. On 19 March 2015, Vyalitsyna announced that she was pregnant with her first child by boyfriend Adam Cahan. They welcomed daughter Alaska on 25 June 2015, stating that this name was chosen because Alaska is "where the U. S. and Russia meet". On 5 June 2016, Vyalitsyna and Cahan got engaged, but had separated by 2018.
