VICTORIA'S Secret stunner Shanina Shaik will be joined in Melbourne for Christmas by her jetsetting partner, US model Tyson Beckford.
Beckford will arrive in town today and spend Christmas, New Year and part of January in Australia with Shaik and her family.
"I am really happy that he is coming to see where I am from and (to meet) the rest of the family," Shaik said.
"He has never been to Melbourne."
The couple met when Beckford, 41, was a judge on the Channel 7 series Make Me A Supermodel and Shaik, 20, was a contestant in 2008.
"It has been a great year. I have been working really hard and it is great that it is finally paying off," she said.
Shaik hit a career high in November when she appeared in the Victoria's Secret lingerie parade and then was used in its catalogue.
She followed up on the Paris catwalk for Chanel.
"That was amazing," she said. "It was my first time in Paris and for my first show in Paris to be Chanel, it was a really big accomplishment."
Shaik plans to spend more time in Paris next year.
