Who is Cindy Kimberly?
Cindy Kimberly was born in Amsterdam on November 16, 1998 and is half Spanish and half Indonesian.
Her dream was to always become a model from an early age. Her life changed when she was 16. Kimberly ran an account that was a dedicated space for Justin Bieber fans.
In 2015, one of her posts was shared by the famous singer, with Bieber captioning the photo: ‘OMG who is this??’
Since the viral post, Kimberly has gone on to become a popular figure in the world of social media.
Before Bieber uploaded the picture of Kimberly to Instagram, she revealed to the Daily Mail that she was earning £2.90 an hour working as a babysitter in Spain.
Speaking on the encounter with Bieber, Kimberly said: ‘When I saw Justin was asking about me I got very emotional because I’ve been a fan of his for more than six years.
‘It seems like a fairytale. A friend of mine often used to joke that one day I’d be one of the girls he talked about and I didn’t believe her.
‘My life’s changed positively since Justin appeared in my life. At the beginning I felt completely overwhelmed and didn’t know how to deal with it but now I’m getting used to it.’
Now, with over 7million followers on Instagram, Kimberly works as an influencer and is signed to Uno Models.
