Jamie Eason (born April 10, 1976)[1] is an American fitness model and writer. She is also a former NFL cheerleader and winner of the World's Fittest Model competition. She has been the featured subject and cover girl on many fitness and women's magazines.

Early life
[edit]Eason was born April 10, 1976 [1] in Houston, Texas.[5] She also has an older brother.[6][7]
Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]2001, after graduating from college and while working for her grandfather's roofing company, she tried-out for the new Houston Texans cheerleading squad. She was one of thirty-five contestants selected in a rigorous two-day process.[8]
During her career as a Houston Texans cheerleader, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, forcing her to a desk job. Her inactive lifestyle and poor nutrition took an additional toll on her body.[9] To get in shape, she joined a local gym. She continued to work-out and improve but was dissatisfied with her results. After consulting a nutritionist, she was put on a proper diet to transform her body.[10]
Later career
[edit]Eason was 'discovered' at a fitness competition in Austin, Texas. She received a pro card after her first fitness competition in 2006 at the Hardbody Entertainment Model Search at the Olympia.[11]
As a spokes-model, Eason is known as "the female face"[12] of Bodybuilding.com.[citation needed] She also focuses on removing the stereotype athletic women are unfeminine.[13] Eason says she regrets some of her earlier photo-shoots showing more skin during her younger days.[14] She continues fitness modeling, but encourages women in fitness and modeling to never show a lot of skin... saying "It's not worth it."[14] Her training-style mostly revolves around weight-training; she says she prefers that over cardio training, so she doesn't do cardio training a lot but focuses on weight training.[15]
Personal life
[edit]She was diagnosed with breast cancer at 22 years old, and at the age of 28, an injury revealed she has Spina Bifida Occulta, a minor form of the disease.[1][9][13] She married Michael Middleton, a fellow workout enthusiast and Worship Leader in their church, on July 18, 2012.[16][17] Eason had a son, August in 2013.[18] She had a second son, Beau at 40 years old in 2016.
