Chris Smalling and Sam Cooke

Sam Cooke is a former English glamour model who became famous with her work on the Noughties, FRONT, FHM, Maxim, Nuts and Loaded. She was married last 2017 to Manchester United football player Chris Smalling. Not many knew that Sam suffers from a life-time condition of IBS or irritable bowel syndrome, which she has been battling since the age of 15. Added to that, she was diagnosed with endometriosis which made her IBS worse. She decided that it was time for her to let people know about her condition and not be embarrassed by it.

She encouraged all her fans and other people to look beyond the condition and know that other people care. Incidentally, Sam also encouraged her husband to eat healthy 3 years ago. She introduced her husband Smalling to eat a plant-based diet which led them to embark on a “healthy” investment. The couple recently invested a 6-figure amount to vegan leather which is made out of pineapple waste products. What a great example this couple is! Good luck with this investment.
