Who is Khalil Rountree Jr.’s girlfriend?

Khalil Rountree Jr.’s girlfriend is British-Swiss fashion model Mia Kang. In addition to being an advocate for body confidence and a television host based in New York City, Mia Kang also competes in Muay Thai. Kang relocated from Hong Kong to New York City, where the majority of the top models in the world reside, after signing a contract with Trump Model Management. She received her first modeling job in New York City for Sports Illustrated, becoming the first Hong Konger to do so. Additionally, she contributed to three Guess campaigns.

She was, however, dissatisfied at one point because she was instructed to starve herself and follow a 10-day liquid diet in between photo shoots. She was used to going four days without eating. She smoked Marlboro Lights, drank black coffee, and was obsessed with losing weight. She was depressed to the point of considering suicide.

Although Kang is still modeling, in 2020, she took over as the host of Bravo's reality competition show “Spy Games,” in which ten contestants compete in activities with a spy theme for $100,000.

What does Mia Kang do for a living?

Mia Kang is a British-Swiss fashion model and a television host based in New York City. She also competes in Muay Thai. Kang was bullied as a young child for being overweight in her Hong Kong upbringing. When she was just 13 years old, she cut her weight in half and began to be noticed as a model. Kang spent her high school and college years working as a model in Asia and Europe.

Kang earned a master's degree in finance and financial law in England, gave up modeling to work as a commodities trader, and then made a comeback to the industry in New York City, where she won the 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model search and was selected as a 2017 rookie. Despite her modeling success, Kang struggled with eating disorders because she believed the industry required thin models. That is until she learned Muay Thai in Thailand.

She learned to respect her body, develop good eating habits, gain weight, and build muscle through training and fighting. She continues to model and host “Spy Games,” an American reality competition television series while advocating for women's body confidence.

When did Mia Kang debut as a Muay Thai fighter?

Kang engaged in her first professional match on May 7, 2017. She faced Thai fighter Nong B, who had competed in five fights. Kang claims that the first round's elbow to the eye made her angry because she relies on her face for her livelihood. She won the second round before entering the third round with "heavy hands," striking her opponent hard, and winning by a technical knockout. After winning, Kang was eager to pursue a career in mixed martial arts and signed a contract with manager Malki Kawa of First Round Management.

Kang believes that Muay Thai saved her life and taught her to love her body. She started advocating for women to have strong, healthy bodies and became a body confidence advocate. In SoHo, New York, she founded her own all-female boxing gym called "Killa Girl Gang" for women of all fitness levels.

How did Khalil Rountree Jr. and Mia Kang meet?

It appears that no information about how they met is available, but they have been dating since 2020.
