Who is Amber Rose, how old is she and what is her net worth?

Amber Rose was born Amber Levonchuck on October 21, 1983, making her 34 years old.

Growing up in Philadelphia, USA, she began stripping at the age of 15 to provide for her family following her parents' divorce, using the stage name Paris.

In 2008, at the age of 25, Amber appeared in the video for Kanye West and Young Jeezy's track Put On.

She got the job after West spotted her in Ludacris' video for What Them Girls Like.

This led to a modelling career and more music video appearances, under the management of Miley Cyrus' mother Leticia "Tish" Cyrus.

She's also been managed by Mariah Carey's ex-husband Nick Cannon.

Her net worth is estimated to be around $12million thanks in part to her hugely successful modelling career.

Why is Amber Rose famous and is she friends with Khloe Kardashian?

Amber first became known across the world when she dated Kanye West between 2008 and 2010.

Soon after their split, Kanye got together with Kim Kardashian but has since spoken about Amber regularly, saying she only dated him to get famous and insulting her regularly.

In 2011 Amber got together with rapper Wiz Khalifa, married him and had a son called Sebastian Taylor Thomaz in 2013.

She and Khalifa divorced in 2014 and have joint custody of their four-year-old son.

Amber is now on good terms with Kanye but was once embroiled in a fierce war with the Kardashians.

Relations soured when Amber had a furious online war of words with Khloe after her best friends Blac Chyna's ex-boyfriend Tyga began a public relationship with Kylie Jenner in 2015.

Tensions threatened to mount again in March 2017 when Amber was romantically linked to "close friend" French Montana, who used to date her enemy Khloe.

However, in April 2018, the 34-year-old appeared to reach out to the reality star after her boyfriend Tristan Thompson was spotted "kissing" a woman in nightclub footage days before she's due to give birth.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Amber wrote: "I know we've had our differences in the past but my heart is broken for you sis smh no one deserves to feel that pain, especially during such a sensitive time.

"God bless you and your baby".

Why is Amber Rose so controversial on social media?

The tattooed bombshell shocked the world by posting an X-rated, "bottomless" picture of herself with no knickers on to Instagram.

Following the #FreeTheNipple campaign on the site, she declared it was time to "bring back the bush" but the photo was immediately removed by moderators.

However her "fire ass feminist post" had already spread like wildfire and could be found on Twitter hours later.

The post and the furore around it led to major ridicule in endless copycat pictures online.

However, on July 7, 2017, Amber admitted the picture was photoshopped.

Speaking to Refinery29 about the sexy snap, she said: “I had them Photoshop out my tattoos to focus on the bush alone.”

She continued: “I feel like there are so many new feminists this year because of [President Donald] Trump.

“That’s what I do to bring awareness to Slutwalk and what’s going on.

“The fact that there are double standards, that women are not allowed to own their sexuality and their bodies.”

Meanwhile, Amber often refers to herself a feminist and regularly rails against "slut-shaming" online after an incident she experienced aged 14 left her traumatised.

She says a boy got her to kneel down in front of her in a cupboard before opening the doors so her classmates got the wrong idea about what she was doing, which led to bullying.

In 2015 Amber led her own SlutWalk event in Los Angeles which spawned several copycat marches across the globe.

What else is Amber Rose known for?

Amber landed her own talk show on VH1 last year and partook in Dancing With The Stars — the US version of Strictly in 2016 — coming ninth.

Other TV appearances she's made include The Hills in 2010, RuPaul's drag race in 2011 and America's Next Top Model as a guest in 2017.

She released two of her own singles in 2012, called Fame and Loaded, and she rapped on Wiz Khalifa's track Rise Above.

In 2016, Amber announced she would be releasing her own line of lashes in collaboration with Luz Lashes.

The social media sensation also has her own emoji app and hosts agony aunt-style podcast Loveline.
