When Danish supermodel Josephine Skriver isn’t walking the Victoria’s Secret runway or shooting content for her fitness brand JoJa (with fellow VS Angel Jasmine Tookes), she lives a hygge life with her partner Alexander DeLeon and their baby girl Aurora James. Skriver may be a force in front of the camera, but she likes to keep her family life private, which leads us to wonder, how much do we know about the main man in her life?
Similar to his long-term Josephine Skriver , Alexander DeLeon spends his life in the public eye, but in a different way. Rather than walking a spotlit runway in glittering underwear, DeLeon’s career is spent with a microphone as a singer/songwriter. Having been in a relationship with Skriver since 2013 and marrying in 2022, the couple are certainly in it for the long haul. Not only are they an unfairly attractive couple but their dedication to each other is paramount as they travel the world to support each other.
Now, as Skriver appears on the digital cover of Vogue Scandinavia, we look to the leading man in her life and how much we know about him. Here are five things you may not have known about Alexander DeLeon.
He is a singer
In the public eye, DeLeon is better known for his musical alias Bohnes. With hit songs such as 'Middle Finger' and 'You've Created a Monster', he has garnered over 1.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
When he is not on his solo stream, DeLeon can also be recognised as being the lead singer for American rock band The Cab. Despite the band having released no new music since 2014, they are set to appear at upcoming music festivals such as When We Were Young Fest in 2025.

He proposed to Skriver in Finland
In November of 2018, DeLeon proposed to his girlfriend of (at that time) five years in Finland. Having taken Skriver there to complete her life long dreams of seeing orcas in the wild and the Northern Lights, he got down on one knee and popped the question. Skriver said "HELL-FREAKIN'-YES," and the rest is history.
He owns a tequila company
It's not widely known, but those paying attention to the tags in his Instagram bio will have spotted that DeLeon is also the founder of tequila brand Solisca. Using his wife's friends, and business partners (like Jasmine Tookes) to promote the brand, this tequila has become the drink of the supermodel.
He wrote a song for Skriver when they first met...
After DeLeon and Skriver met in 2013, the American lyricist put his skills to work and wrote a song for her called 'Aurora Borealis', the name of which the model now has tattooed down her spine.

...and they named their daughter after it
The couple welcomed their daughter in August of 2024, who they named Aurora James. The lights have carried significance throughout their relationship both through Bohnes' song and his proposal occurring under the natural phenomenon: their daughter's name serving as a continuation of this.
