The image quickly went viral, adding to the buzz surrounding Thomas following her recent rise to fame.
Thomas gained widespread attention last month after working as a ring girl at the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
She was part of a team that included Virginia Sanhouse, Lexi Williams, Delia Sylvain, and Raphaela Milagres, all of whom appeared alongside her in the high-profile event.
The exposure from the fight catapulted Thomas into the social media spotlight, with her follower count soaring and her inbox flooded with messages.
“There’s everything, anything from blue check marks to random people,” Thomas shared in a recent interview, noting that many of the messages are from individuals seeking to connect or ask her out on a date.
Despite the increased attention, Thomas made it clear that she is not currently interested in dating.
After a summer breakup, she emphasized her focus on personal growth and self-care.
“I’m so happy with myself, and that’s where all my time is going,” she said. “Anyone reaching out who’s wanting to be with me, it’s just slipping right on by because I do not have any intention to involve myself with that.”
Thomas is also navigating the challenges of balancing her newfound fame with her academic responsibilities.

As a senior at the University of Alabama, she has opted to take online classes to manage her busy schedule while working toward completing her degree.
However, the rapid influx of opportunities has left her feeling overwhelmed as she considers her next steps.
“Everyone’s been asking me what’s next, and I was never expecting this to fall into my lap all at once,” she explained. “I haven’t really thought that far ahead.”
For now, Thomas is taking time to evaluate her goals while adapting to the pressures of fame and the demands of her growing platform.
“It’s just such big things in this world that I’m now, as a 21-year-old, having to decide all this stuff for myself,” she said. “It’s a lot right now… I’m still figuring it all out and the path I want to go on. I don’t know. That’s my answer.”
As Thomas continues to navigate this new chapter, her fans will undoubtedly be watching closely to see what the future holds for this rising social media star.
