Gale, who was born in Perth, Australia, is not only an actress and a model, but she is also a brand ambassador and a fashion designer. Her exotic looks are credited to her mixed ancestry of English from her father's side and Maori (indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand) from her mother's side.
She reportedly started modeling when she was 18 years old after winning a modeling competition. She retired from modeling in Jan. 2008. On her last catwalk for the launch of the David Jones winter collection in Sydney, she wore a Wonder Woman outfit. She wore the said outfit because around that time, it was announced that she was offered the part of Wonder Woman in the film "Justice League of America" (JLA) to be directed by Oscar-winning director George Miller ("Babe" and "Happy Feet"). Unfortunately, the JLA project got shelved and was cancelled.
She landed a role in the Australian feature film "I Love You Too," a romantic comedy wherein she played Francesca Moretti, an Italian supermodel.
Aside from being an actress, model, brand ambassador and fashion designer (Isola Swimwear), Gale is also a producer. She was the executive producer of the Project Runway Australia TV Series which aired from 2011-2012 with a total of 22 episodes.
Meanwhile, Gale's boyfriend, AFL player Hampson, used to play for the Carlton Football Club, the Blues, until he was traded to The Tigers on Oct. 7 in the 2013 National Australia Bank (NAB) AFL Draft.
Now that Australian model and actress Megan Gale is pregnant at 38 years old, her life seems complete. She is successful in her career and her romantic life. And now, it looks like she'll also be successful in her family life. She has already dabbled in modeling, acting, producing and designing. With all her experience juggling these roles and multitasking, her next role as a mother would be a breeze.
