Social Media Influencer
Farago came to prominence as an influencer on the social media platform Instagram. She gained several modeling opportunities through her account, and eventually began partnering with such fashion brands as Revolve, Fashion Nova, and MISHA SWIM. Farago focuses on beauty, fashion, and lifestyle content, often appearing in campaigns for swimwear and lingerie. Her influencer status rocketed following her breakout on reality television, and she went on to amass over six million followers on Instagram. Beyond promoting beauty and fashion brands, Farago uses her social media platforms to advocate for such important issues as LGBTQ+ rights, mental health, and environmental awareness.
Reality Television
Farago reached her widest audience yet when she starred in the first season of the Netflix reality dating show "Too Hot to Handle" in 2020. Based on the British show of the same name, it features a group of habitually noncommittal adult daters who must live together for four weeks without making any physical contact with one another. One of the cast's most buzzed-about contestants, Farago succeeded and ended up winning the show along with nine of her castmates. She went on to appear on another Netflix dating show, "Love is Blind," in 2021, serving as the new dating partner to contestant Damian Powers. However, she was not part of the main cast. In early 2023, Farago starred on Netflix's new reality dating show "Perfect Match," which features personalities from other Netflix reality shows as they pair up in a tropical villa and compete in challenges. Like "Love is Blind," the show is hosted by Nick Lachey. Farago made it to episode eleven of twelve, when she was eliminated. She subsequently expressed some concerns about having been edited by the production team to appear as a villain.
Farago the Label
In 2020, Farago founded the fashion brand Farago the Label. A boutique e-commerce business, it offers high-quality biodegradable swimwear using Italian imported fabrics. Each piece is reported to be handmade by a vegan swimwear manufacturer in Brazil. Farago the Label recycles its fabric, implements non-plastic reusable totes, and maintains in-house sustainability programs.
Personal Life
Farago identifies as vegan and bisexual. She previously dated her "Too Hot to Handle" co-star Harry Jowsey, and also briefly dated Demi Sims and DJ Diplo. In 2022, Farago began dating TikTok personality and trans activist Jesse Sullivan, whom she first met over Zoom in an interview for a TikTok Pride Month event. The pair got engaged in the spring of 2023. Toward the end of 2024, Farago and Sullivan had fraternal twins via IVF: a son named Locket and a daughter named Poetry. Sullivan also has a son named Arlo from a relationship he had in high school.
