- Loiba Maria, a Brazilian jiujitsu trainer, was on the E train in New York when she noticed an 'unbelievably gorgeous' man sitting across from her
- Although he looked familiar to her, Loiba couldn't pinpoint exactly who he was, so she took pictures of him as reference to figure out who he was later
- And over the weekend, she came across an article on her Facebook feed that featured him and she remembered watching his season on the CW show
- So she posted a picture of him she took on the subway to his Facebook fan page and a day later, he responded by posting a picture of her in the act
It's not unusual to spot a famous person in New York City from time to time - but one woman's celebrity encounter has earned a lot more attention than most, thanks to her not so stealthy photography skills.
Loiba Maria, a Brazilian jiujitsu trainer, according to Buzzfeed, was on the E train heading to Manhattan last week when she noticed an 'unbelievably gorgeous' man sitting across from her.
It turns out that man was Nyle DiMarco, 28, a deaf model, actor, and hearing impaired activist who in 2015, was the second male winner and the first deaf winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 22. He also won season 22 of Dancing With the Stars when he was partnered with Peta Murgatroyd.

Busted: Loiba posted a picture of him she took on the train to his Facebook fan page where he, in turn, posted his own snap of her taking a photo of him
She said: 'Rarely do you see a supermodel ride the subway train. I can tell he's a fashion model because of what he was wearing.'
But despite looking familiar, Loiba didn't know who he was at the time so she decided to discreetly take pictures of him as reference to figure out who he was later.
But luckily, over the weekend, she came across an article on her Facebook feed that featured him and she remembered watching his season on America's Next Top Model.
And to make sure it was him, she posted a picture of him she took on the subway to his Facebook fan page, where she wrote: 'I think I saw you on the E train last Sunday. If this is you, you are very handsome in person!'
