She told Canada's Elle magazine: 'My husband and I waited; call me crazy, but it worked. Our sex is amazing!'

'It made me feel like I had the power back in my dating life. He respected me more because I wasn't willing to just give it up.'

While the model lives in New York to work in the fashion industry, Justin resides in Los Angeles, where he works as a cinematographer.

While Ashley is more than happy with her sex life with her husband, she also couldn't help gushing about getting close to DNCE frontman Joe Jonas, whom she worked with on the set of his music video for Toothbrush.

Ashley Graham's star is steadily rising with her latest gig landing her on the pages of Elle magazine. The curvy model posed in a number of sultry pieces but none more sexy than this Bao Tranchi bodysuit.

The celeb favored brand has dressed the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj and Gigi Hadid in their flesh baring looks and we've even spotted Ashley in a dress by the label at the Vanity Fair Oscar party earlier this year.

Her long sleeve mesh panel one-piece was topped by a Vivienne Westwood coat and a reptilian belt by Lovesick, but we'd just as soon wear it with a pencil skirt and pumps on our next evening out.
