Kate Upton has returned to modelling after splitting with her former agency IMG Models in 2014.
The 23-year-old actress, who left IMG Models in 2014 to pursue her acting career, has been signed to Next Model Management, which also represents names like Lucky Blue Smith, Anja Rubik and Alexa Chung, reports WWD.com.
Upton made a breakthrough in 2011 when she graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimwear issue and has since featured on the front of prestigious publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar, as well as being named the face of beauty brand Bobbi Brown in March 2014.
However, Upton, who has starred in "Tower Heist" and "The Three Stooges", and is set to appear in the comedy film "The Layover", will continue to be represented by WME and LBI Entertainment for her upcoming film projects.
