The 23-year-old model-slash-actress will continue to be represented by WME and LBI Entertainment for her onscreen projects, WWDreports.

Upton carved out a name for herself as a swimsuit model when she was featured by Sports Illustrated in its 2011 swimsuit issue, but has since gone on to land high-fashion editorial jobs for British and American Vogue and Vanity Fair. She is set to star in the road trip comedy “The Layover” later this year.
