Aside from making history as the first ever Filipina to walk the runway as a Victoria's Secret model, Kelsey Merritt also has another reason to be envied as she rang in the New Year with her American boyfriend, two-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Conor Dwyer.

Kelsey described her love as, "Conor was there for me, made sure I was ok, and was always just my shoulder to cry on. I learned how to be stronger because of him. We don't really share a lot about our relationship to the public and I prefer to keep it private. But I just want to share with all of you what an amazing human being this guy is."
