Here’s what you need to know:
1. Moore Was Involved in a Love Triangle With Bieber & Lil Romeo
Bieber and Moore have been linked together in the past. In April 2015, Bieber posted a photo of Moore to his Instagram page with the caption, “Sometimes I wonder.” Shortly after, rapper Romeo Miller aka Lil’ Romeo posted a photo of him and Moore together with the words, “@justinbieber Sometimes I wonder too…” That picture was liked by Bieber’s ex, Selena Gomez.
This came on the back of numerous tabloid reports that saw Bieber and Moore out for dinner together, at Clippers games and some back-and-forth on Instagram. E! News reported that the two first met in 2013 and were introduced to each through Lil Twist.
While a source told Hollywood Life in April 2015 that Selena Gomez believed Bieber and Moore were seeing each other before Gomez and Biebs split. The source said, “Selena still feels like Justin cheated on her with Ashley while they were still dating. So to see Justin publicly flirting with Ashley makes her skin crawl.”
2. Moore Grew Up in a Military Family & Moved Around a Lot in Her Youth
In an April 2016 interview with GQ Magazine, Moore explained that she moved around quite a bit in her youth as she grew up in a military family. Moore says she calls North Caroline home because she “lived there the longest.” Though now she calls Los Angeles home.
When asked what she does in her spare time in Los Angeles, Moore says, “I like to go to the movies, hike, bike, spend time with friends and family, and go to the spa. (The spa is a must on my time off.)”
During a separate interview with Arcadia Online, Moore talked about her difficulties in North Carolina saying, “My ethnicity has always been an issue in my hometown of North Carolina. When I was in school I struggled because I was too white for the black girls and too black for the white girls…Discrimination doesn’t go away. People often racially abusing me online, they assume that I am Asian because of my eyes, fair skin and cheekbones.”
At the time of Arcadia interview, Moore said she was in a relationship with Young and Reckless clothing designer, Christopher “Drama” Pfaff.

In addition to the above messages, Moore also wrote, “It was always the ‘idea’ of being in love with you.” Moore says on her bio on the page that she is “Truthful lips.” She gives less attention to her Twitter than to Instagram with a measly 28,000 followers on Twitter.
4. Moore Says She’s Attracted to ‘Intelligent Guys’
Moore told Oliver Grand in an interview that she’s into “intelligent guys who know who they are, and know what the want.” While Moore adds, “I’m definitely a sucker for guys in their workout gear.”
In her Arcadia Online interview, Moore said, “Drake is hands down one of the most intelligent and humble people I have ever met. It is incredible to watch the way he works.”
Moore’s modeling has led to her gaining nearly 750,000 followers on Instagram. Though don’t bother commenting as Moore told GQ that she “rarely reads comments.” In November 2016, Moore was named as the face of Color Pop’s collaboration with Hello Kitty. She is represented by Nous Models.
5. Moore’s One Movie Appearance Was in an Andy Samberg’s Justin Bieber Spoof
According to Moore’s IMDb page, she starred in Andy Samberg’s 2016 movie, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Slate.com said in their review of the movie that it was “a clear allusion to the blockbuster concert documentary Justin Bieber Never Say Never.
When asked by GQ what she would be doing if it weren’t for modeling, Moore said:
I would say acting. That’s always been a passion of mine, and I know that will be the next step in my career. Also, traveling and volunteering has been something I’ve always wanted to do. If I could go to different countries to learn their culture and experience a different lifestyle, I would love to do that.
I think seeing people who appreciate everything in their life, even when they have very little, is what I love the most. I would just want to make a difference in someone else’s life.
Moore told Arcadia Online about her role in the Samberg movie saying:
I grew up watching Saturday Night Live, and pretty much all of Judd Apatow’s movies so it was quite literally a dream come true. I learned so much just from being around them, let alone reciting lines with them.
The cast were all such humble and genuine people. I felt really comfortable around them. There are few words to explain the kind of surreal feeling that comes with being part of a talented team like that.
