Vanessa recently told press that despite her nude photo scandal last year, she’s still holding out hope that she can maintain her image as a role model for young girls.

She said, “At the end of the day I have to be happy with myself. Just going to live my life and enjoy doing it.  You only have one shot… of course I want to be a good role model and try to do my best but I’m still me.”

The “Project Runway” babe recently told press the secret to her deep relationship with husband Seal.  “There are many, many things. But I would say love is the most important thing. Seal and I feel very lucky that we found each other. He’s my best friend. He would never go in through a door first. He always opens the door for me and steps back so I walk through.”

And they’re still leaving the door open for adding to their brood.  “So many people say, ‘I am so done.’ That hasn’t come out of my mouth, and it hasn’t come out of Seal’s mouth, either. I feel like we still have one coming.”
