“Another thing that I don’t think a lot of people would be surprised about is the amount of swimsuits that I have,” Cunningham said.

“I’m not mad about that. I know you can only wear one swimsuit at a time, but I have a pretty good collection, and I’m proud of that.

“Do I need to buy more? Absolutely not. Will a swim brand want to work with me and be wanting to share more swimsuits? I would say yes. That’s when I feel most alive.

“It’s a little ridiculous, though. Life is all about awareness. I’m realizing that I need to live a more simple life in a swimsuit.”
