Who is Irene The Dream? Wiki Bio

Irene Chambless was born in Pensacola, Florida USA, on 23 May 1985, zodiac – Gemini, nationality – American. Known online as Irene The Dream, and is popular for her modelling career and Instagram account.

Childhood and education

Irene had a rather interesting childhood which was not that easy. Her parents split when she was still young, and she got to live with her mother in Florida, but wasn’t very happy about it. She was going to church and singing in the choir while she was still very young, but as she was growing up, she became dissatisfied with the life she had with her mother, and therefore ran away from home when she was only 13. Police found her and took her back to her mother, however, after Irene talked to the police about her mother and their life together, she was allowed to go and live with her father in Atlanta, Georgia. Irene hasn’t shared any personal details regarding her parents, as she appreciates their privacies.

Irene had rather normal teen years, as she was physically attractive and therefore had lots of friends in high school – she went shopping and attended parties together with her peers. It is not known whether or not she dated anyone during those years she spent at high school.

After she matriculated from high school, she decided to pursue her career of a model rather than to enroll at college and get a degree.

Career of a model

Irene launched her modelling career as soon as she matriculated – she was noticed by modelling scouts thanks to her Instagram account, and was invited to attend her first photoshoot. After it went well, she was invited for several more, and eventually became a sought-after model.

However, modelling is not Irene’s only call, as she has been in love with music since she was a very young girl. Her career started in the church choir, and after her hard life with her mother ended, Irene decided to put what she felt into lyrics, and began making music. Her first mixtape was entitled “The Dream is Real” and released in 2012, while it is hosted by DJ Scream – there are three original soundtracks on the mixtape called , “Murder She Wrote”, and “Blowin Me”.

Irene is currently working as a model, songwriter, singer, and a rapper. She can also be seen in music videos created by Ludacris and Shawty Lo – she was the CEO of her own company called Picture Perfect Styles as well.

Relationships and love life

There are rumors on the internet that the popular model is currently seeing a man who she met during one of her recent performances in a bar in Georgia, however, this hasn’t been confirmed by Irene.

Other interests and hobbies

It seems as Irene’s number one hobby is uploading pictures of her big booty onto her Instagram account – these pictures make 99 percent of all the pictures uploaded there. She loves living a luxurious lifestyle and riding in expensive cars – she also enjoys attending events made for celebrities. She spends most of her free time making music or thinking about making music, but when it is time to relax, Irene goes to the bar with her friends, and is no stranger to alcohol. She is also a lover of food but cannot eat whatever she wants as she is trying to control her weight.
