Heatherton began walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2008. Heatherton was officially contracted as a Victoria's Secret Angel from 2010 to 2013.[16] She appeared in several television commercials and advertising campaigns for the brand, including a billboard in New York City for the company's "Showstopper" launch. In 2013, it was announced that Heatherton had signed with IMG.[17] Heatherton was ranked at number 35 on Askmen's list of the "Top 99 Most Desirable" women for 2013.[18] She played at the annual exhibition basketball game 2014 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on February 14, 2014.[19][20] In January 2015, Heatherton became a brand ambassador for men's fragrance, Curve Sport[21] and appeared in Victoria's Secret's "Very Sexy Now" fragrance's spring 2015 advertising campaign.[22] She modeled in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues in 2015 and 2016.[23][24] In 2016, she was featured in various campaigns for Adore Cosmetics and became a brand ambassador for NFL Women's Apparel Collection.[25][26][27] In 2017, she modeled for Kikirio Swimwear.[28]

2020–present: Business ventures
In February 2021, Heatherton co-founded Resistance Chicago Lagree, a group fitness studio in Chicago.[31][32] Heatherton wrote about her decision to open a fitness studio on the company's blog post: "I started a fitness studio because it was a way for me to take something that I am genuinely passionate about and share it directly with the people around me. It was important to me that the next chapter of my life after modeling was more authentic. My passion was never lingerie, luxury products, or social media. My proudest accomplishment is not what my body looked like when it was framed by angel wings on a runway. My proudest accomplishment is building Resistance, channeling the challenges from my past into something that helps people feel good about their bodies."[33]
Personal life
She currently resides in Chicago, Illinois.[29] She is the godmother to model Lily Aldridge’s daughter.[29]
She has supported numerous charities, including Global Poverty Project, and the Global Citizen Festival, a concert to combat poverty held in Central Park that attracted 60,000 attendees.[6]
Morton Square Condominium filed a civil lawsuit against Heatherton stating that the model "regularly causes and allows unreasonable levels of noise and bass vibrations... disturbing the condo's residents and interfering with their ability to use and enjoy their units."[34][35] Fashion stylist Clare Byrne sued Heatherton in 2017 for $10 million as compensation for a proposed sportswear line called RetroActive that never got off the ground.[36]
In April 2019, Heatherton filed for bankruptcy, claiming to be "more than $500,000 in debt and made less than $3,000 this year."[37] $100,000 of the debt was to Clare Byrne, her former business partner.[38]
Heatherton dated actor Leonardo DiCaprio from December 2011 to November 2012.[39][40][41]
On March 2, 2022, Heatherton announced her engagement to American-Polish trader Karol Kocemba.[42] On 17 January 2023, Heatherton confirmed through social media that she and her partner were married.[43]
