In the accompanying pic, she's smiling from ear to ear.

Sampaio's announcement comes nine months after Ed Razek, chief marketing officer for the company, made insensitive comments about welcoming trans models into the fold, for which he later apologized.

Sampaio was born in Northern Brazil and started working as a model in her teens.

In a 2017 profile for the New York Times, she said that her parents were "always supportive and are very proud” of her, especially in regards to her transition.

A request for comment from Victoria's Secret was not immediately returned to ABC News.
