Known for her iconic modeling career and environmental advocacy, Murphy has spoken about her approach to life and work. \u201cAs an advocate, if you have the facts, you can impart that wisdom,\u201d she told Fashionista<\/a> in 2021. \u201cIt\u2019s a way of encouraging positivity, and I think that\u2019s the biggest part. Rather than going to the negatives, just use the positives to encourage and to educate, shedding light on positive solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what to know about her career, personal pursuits, and relationship with Arnett.<\/p>\n Murphy has had an influential modeling career.<\/p>\n According to her website<\/a>, Murphy was born on Aug. 11, 1973, in Florida, and raised between the Gulf Coast and her family\u2019s farm in Virginia, where an early appreciation for the outdoors took root. Her modeling journey began in the \u201990s; after graduating high school, she balanced college with part-time modeling, and industry insiders quickly recognized her potential.<\/p>\n In 1995, she landed an exclusive career-defining Prada campaign for which she wore her signature pixie haircut. Over three decades, she\u2019s fronted campaigns for brands including Est\u00e9e Lauder, Calvin Klein, Tom Ford, Gucci, Chanel, and Tiffany & Co.<\/p>\n She is passionate about the ocean and environmental conservation.<\/p>\n Murphy\u2019s life off the runway reflects her commitment to nature and conservation. Speaking with Net-A-Porter<\/a> in 2018, she described how surfing and time by the water help her unwind: \u201cIt\u2019s like you walk down the beach and you start taking in deep breaths,\u201d she said. \u201cThe sun is shining, you feel your shoulders drop, and you exhale. I\u2019m just very fortunate to know that that\u2019s what I need. And when I\u2019m surfing, it\u2019s definitely my sweet spot.\u201d<\/p>\n She also shared her thoughts on pollution. \u201cThe ocean is as much to us and the air we breathe as the forest is,\u201d she said. \u201cSo you have to take that into consideration, and that it\u2019s absorbing more than a quarter of the CO2 emissions.\u201d She pointed out the 80,000 tons of floating plastic waste in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii, adding, \u201cI get really overheated talking about it, it infuriates me.\u201d<\/p>\n Her environmental engagement goes beyond recreation as well. She\u2019s worked with organizations such as Surfrider, Ocean Unite, No More Plastic, and others focused on ocean health, animal welfare, and sustainability, per her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n She and Arnett began dating in 2025, and the actor has spoken about their relationship.<\/p>\n Arnett and Murphy began dating in September 2025 after being introduced by a mutual friend, People<\/a> reported. \u201cWe have a real ease with each other, and she\u2019s just such a generous-of-spirit person, and that\u2019s what I love. One of the many things that I love about her,\u201d Arnett told the outlet.<\/p>\n The couple\u2019s relationship comes after Arnett\u2019s quiet split from Alessandra Brawn in late 2024 following a five\u2011year partnership, People confirmed.
