Nyle DiMarco—and his furry chest—pose for Spirit & Flesh Magazine's Passion Issue. In the accompanying article, the America's Next Top Model winner says his deafness was not featured enough on the show, and asserts that he views it as a strength rather than as a hindrance.

DiMarco speaks to Yelena Deyneko, revealing that having a relationship with him could be summed up in this way:

Adventurous, outgoing … I love to exercise and play sports together, and I love trying new things.

Asked what “love” means to him, he says:

Love means knowing that there is someone you can rely on. This is what makes a great team.
