“I have a good feeling about 2026, for everyone. I am just excited to be in my 30s. Honestly, it seemed scarier than it is. I was so nervous being 29, but the second I turned 30, there was such a weight lifted off my shoulders. I get taken more seriously. Especially because I started modeling when I was so young—I was 14—I was always the baby on set. I feel like I have a voice now and I know what I stand for. You get to know yourself a bit better, so you take less shit, if that makes sense. I know what I want in life and it’s really exciting.” – Daphne Groeneveld, GQ.com
