Supermodel Kate Upton Says Yes to Prom Date With Los Angeles Jewish Teen

A Los Angeles day school student landed a prom date with supermodel Kate Upton.

Jake Davidson released a YouTube video last week asking Upton to the prom at Milken Community High School in Bel Air, Calif. The video has garnered more than 1 million hits.

Upton, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover model for the past two years, surprised Davidson while he was being interviewed Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show, calling in to tell him she would “love to go.”

She had tweeted a day earlier, ”you can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I’ll check my schedule .”

Davidson promised he would get his 11 p.m. curfew waived for the date, according to E!

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
