Here's a look at some other surprising facts about Mama Garrn:
On December 31, 2019, Garrn, also an actress known for her role in Spider-Man: Far From Home, shared the news that she was engaged to Magic Mike actor Pettyfer.
"Christmas Eve the love of my life surprised me on his knees asking me to be his forever," she wrote. "He changed my life the day we met and showed me what love really is – so yes I cannot wait to spend every day (well almost) of my life with you @alexpettyfer."

The happy romance came after an on-again off-again relationship with actor DiCaprio, whom she dated in 2013, when they were first spotted taking photos while enjoying the grounds and gardens of France’s Chateau de Versailles together. Their romance lasted for one year, but ended by December 2014. Garrn and DiCaprio were once again spotted holding hands at 1Oak nightclub in 2017.
In 2016, the highly sought-after model created the Toni Garrn Foundation, which aims to raise money and invest in local organizations and the development of girls and their communities. Garrn is also the ambassador of the global campaign "Girls Get Equal."

Most recently, she took to Instagram to post a video celebrating the young girls who inspired her to create the organization. "It’s international day of the girl!" she wrote. "These smart, passionate and incredibly grateful young ladies made me want to focus more on female rights."
Throughout the pandemic Garrn continued to grace the cover of magazines, including ELLE Spain. She wrote of the experience on Instagram, "Gracias ELLE Spain for making this happen with all the restrictions going on in the world. Loved being on set just a few weeks ago…"
The blonde beauty has a sense of humor, especially when it comes to her relationship. In a recent Instagram post, she teased her husband about saying, "Baby come take a picture with me," and the fact that he then seemingly stared at her derriere. "'Wow there's about thousand ticks up your ass'. He was right. How's your week going."
Now Garrn looks forward to welcoming her baby. As OK! previously reported, she said via Instagram, "I think my life already changed but it's a good year for me to have a baby because everything else already slowed down so much. My brain has the patience and the times to be very fulfilled and present to be a parent. Which I would love to be."
She went on to add, "I dream of the way his or her face is going to look, the way it’s going to be and smell. I just can't wait to meet my baby!"
