Grece Ghanem spent her first career in a hospital laboratory. Her second was in a gym. Her third, which began in her fifties, put her in the front rows of Paris and New York.
Today the silver-haired Montreal resident has about 2.4 million Instagram followers. She is represented by Storm Management and has fronted campaigns for brands such as By Terry.
This guide separates what is on the record about Grece Ghanem from what is repeated online without a source. That matters most for her husband, her weight and her net worth, where many pages state guesses as facts.
Key Takeaways
• Grece Ghanem was born on 18 December 1964, so she is 61 and turns 62 in December 2026.
• She is Lebanese-Canadian: raised in Lebanon, based in Montreal since 2005.
• No credible source names a husband, and no reputable outlet has published a net worth for her.
• Her Instagram following grew from roughly 72,000 in 2019 to about 2.4 million.

Who Is Grece Ghanem?
Grece Ghanem is a Lebanese-Canadian style influencer and model who became widely known after turning fifty. Her signature is a silver bob, tailored pieces with one loud color, and a mix of street style with designer clothing.
Press coverage often describes her as an “ageless style icon,” a label she has said she finds humbling and a little unconventional. Her own framing is simpler: she believes women should stay visible and dress as they like at any age.
She is also a trained microbiologist and a certified personal trainer. She worked in both fields before fashion, and she still talks about movement and strength as much as clothes.
How Old Is Grece Ghanem?
Grece Ghanem was born on 18 December 1964, according to Famous Birthdays, which gives her sign as Sagittarius. That makes her 61 years old as of October 2026.
Her age is easy to verify against the press. Vogue Portugal’s April 2020 piece called her 55, About Her called her 55 in August 2020, and Highsnobiety called her 59 in January 2024. The numbers line up with a 1964 birth year.
Be wary of pages giving her a 1994 birth year or calling her “28“. Those describe a different person.
Her next birthday is 18 December 2026, when she turns 62. If you are reading this after that date, add a year.
Grece Ghanem’s Ethnicity and Nationality
Grece Ghanem is Lebanese by heritage and Canadian by residence. Her On interview says her parents’ home country is Lebanon, where she was raised, and that she left for Canada with her daughter in 2005.
One detail rarely appears in biographies. On states she was born in Africa before the family’s life in Lebanon. Famous Birthdays lists only “Lebanon” as her birthplace. One low-quality biography site says Liberia, but I found no reputable source confirming a country, so treat that as unconfirmed.
NUVO Magazine adds a small fact: her first name is pronounced “Grace.” The spelling “Grece” is, in her own account, a misspelling on her identity card that stuck.
Early Life and Education in Lebanon
Grece Ghanem grew up in Lebanon during years of conflict. NUVO reported her describing life in a university dorm in Beirut without knowing whether she would safely reach her family on weekends.
She credits the women around her for her love of style and health. She told On that her mother and grandmother always dressed well, even in the kitchen. She also describes an aunt who played tennis and did aerobics.
She earned a master’s degree in microbiology at the American University of Beirut. Highsnobiety and On both say she then worked as a hospital laboratory technician. On adds that she held physical education roles and covered for her aerobics instructor.
Not every source agrees. ROAR forward says she worked as a dental assistant, and that jobs were scarce because of the instability. The two accounts may describe different stretches of her working life, but none of the sources clarifies that.
Moving to Montreal and Starting Over as a Personal Trainer
In 2005 Ghanem moved to Montreal with her daughter, Cheyenne, who was nine. ROAR forward says she chose Canada over Australia after deciding at 39 that she needed a safer future for them both.
The move cost her her first career. Canada did not recognize her microbiology credentials, a point confirmed by both On and About Her. She was in her forties and had to start over.
She turned to what she already loved. NUVO says she completed a one-year personal training program through the Montreal YMCA. She then worked in a gym and as a mobile trainer, with clients ranging from their twenties to their seventies.
She kept training clients for years, later by video call while traveling. That background still shapes her public image, because her fitness content is as central as her outfits.
How Grece Ghanem Became a Fashion Influencer
Her fashion career grew out of a hobby she shared with her daughter. Cheyenne had been browsing street style and fashion photography on her own account, and on On’s telling she opened an account for her mother partly to stop Grece borrowing her phone.
Cheyenne set one condition. She would shoot and curate every photo herself so the feed looked cohesive. At first the pictures were travel shots. When those ran out, they started photographing outfits on Montreal streets.
Instagram Start: 2015 or 2016?
Sources disagree on the year. Highsnobiety says she joined Instagram in 2015. NUVO says the mother-daughter project started in the summer of 2016, and Famous Birthdays dates her first fashion posts to June 2016.
On the evidence, 2016 is the safer date for when it became a deliberate fashion account. A 2015 sign-up is possible if the account existed before the project had a direction. Neither claim can be proven from outside Instagram.
The 2017 Breakthrough
Her first major press moments came in 2017. Highsnobiety says Vice published a short video about an Instagram model who started in her fifties, and the fashion blog Advanced Style featured her weeks later.
By spring 2019, NUVO reported she had about 72,000 followers and noted that Vogue had interviewed her the previous September. Vogue Portugal ran a feature on her in April 2020.
On says brands began approaching her about six months after the account found an audience.
Signing With Storm Management
Highsnobiety reports that she signed with Storm Model Management in 2020. Storm’s profile describes her as a full-time trainer who started posting outfits for fun and became a regular at international fashion weeks. It also says she was the face of a global By Terry campaign.
Grece Ghanem’s Instagram Growth, 2019 to Today
Her follower count is the clearest measure of her rise. Every figure below comes from a dated source, which makes this a timeline rather than a single claim.
| Date | Followers | Source |
| Spring 2019 | About 72,000 | NUVO Magazine |
| April 2020 | More than 200,000 | Madame Figaro Arabia |
| September 2020 | 431,000 | About Her |
| January 2024 | 1.5 million | Highsnobiety |
| February 2024 | 1.6 million | ROAR forward |
| 2024 | 1.8 million | On |
| 2026 | Over 2.4 million | Famous Birthdays |
The steepest jump came between September 2020 and January 2024, when the audience roughly tripled. Highsnobiety noted that photos of her circulated widely on X in late 2023, which may have contributed.
Counts change daily. For a live figure, check her Instagram profile.
Brands, Campaigns and Fashion Weeks
Different outlets list different partners, which is why no single competitor page gives the full picture. Here is the combined record, with sources.
• Storm Management and Highsnobiety: By Terry, Missoma, Club Monaco, Rixo and Mango.
• About Her (2020): Sephora Canada, Reitmans, Kérastase and Browns x Adidas, plus a recurring Club Monaco relationship.
• ROAR forward: MAC Cosmetics, Bloomingdale’s, Sephora, J. Crew and Jimmy Choo.
• On: an ongoing partnership. She told On her gym wear comes from the brand.
Famous Birthdays records fashion week appearances at New York in 2018 and Paris in 2019. Sources differ on her role. Highsnobiety described her in early 2024 as a front-row presence and wondered whether she might walk a runway. ROAR describes her as a runway model, so treat the catwalk claim as unsettled.

Grece Ghanem’s Height and Weight
Only one page I found gives Grece Ghanem’s height: CelebzFame lists about 5 feet 1 inch (155 cm). It cites no source, and Storm’s profile gave no measurements. Treat 5’1″ as an approximate, unconfirmed figure.
Press descriptions are consistent with it. About Her calls her petite, and NUVO describes a compact, tightly sculpted build.
No reliable source gives her weight, so this article does not print a number. Pages that do cite none, and a weight figure for a real person without a source is a guess.
Fitness and Diet Routine
Her fitness habits are unusually well documented, mainly through the On interview. They come from her own accounts, so read them as personal habits, not medical advice.
Her Workout Structure
Ghanem says she exercises for at least an hour a day. On describes a mix of weight training, balance and stability work for posture, and stretching. She told On the weights matter for muscle and for protecting against osteoporosis as she ages.
She travels with a resistance band and a small exercise ball so she can train without a gym. ROAR adds swimming and band work to her routine. Cheyenne often trains with her.
Her advice for beginners is modest: start with five or ten minutes, favor compound moves like push-ups and planks, and put on training clothes to make starting easier.
How She Eats
On describes a mostly pescatarian diet with almost no sugar beyond low-sugar fruit. ROAR forward describes a dairy-free, red-meat-free diet with intermittent fasting. The accounts overlap but are not identical, which is common when habits are reported by different writers at different times.
Is Grece Ghanem Married? What Is Known About Her Husband
There is no verified information naming a husband, ex-husband or partner for Grece Ghanem. ROAR forward says only that she worked, married and had a daughter. It gives no name, date or detail, and she has not discussed it in any interview I found.
CelebzFame states that she has not confirmed being married. Some sites call her a single mother, but I found no outlet that sourced that claim to her.
Her public story centers on Cheyenne, not a spouse. She says she moved countries for her daughter, and she describes their professional partnership in detail. Her marital status is a private matter, so it is best left as unconfirmed.
Grece Ghanem’s Daughter, Cheyenne
Cheyenne El Khoury is the person most closely tied to Grece Ghanem’s career. NUVO reported in 2019 that Cheyenne, then 23, was a McGill finance graduate acting as her mother’s photographer, creative director and manager.
On confirms that Cheyenne later left her finance job to work with her mother full-time. The two live, work and travel together. Ghanem was candid with On that it is not always easy, and that they sometimes disagree before finding a compromise.
CelebzFame reports that Cheyenne got engaged in May 2026. I could not confirm this in other sources, so treat it as unverified.
Grece Ghanem’s Net Worth
No reputable outlet has published a net worth estimate for Grece Ghanem. Forbes and Bloomberg do not cover influencers at her level, and she has not disclosed her income. Any dollar figure is therefore an estimate from unverified sources and should be read that way.
Why Reported Figures Disagree
| Source | Reported net worth | Year | Notes |
| CelebzFame | About $1 million | 2026 | No method or sources cited |
| TheCityCeleb | About $1 million | Undated | No method cited |
| Content-farm net worth pages | $10 million and $50 million, on the same page | 2025–2026 | Describe a woman born in 1994 with a “younger sister,” which does not match her |
The last row is a warning. Those pages contradict themselves and describe someone else. Our $1 million rows are not much better, since both rely on unexplained estimates.
To judge any net worth page about her, ask three questions. Does it explain how it calculated the number? Does the biography match the documented one? Do its figures agree with each other? Most pages fail all three.
Where Her Income Realistically Comes From
Based on her documented work, her income plausibly comes from these streams:
• Modeling and campaigns through Storm Management, including work for brands such as By Terry.
• Sponsored social content for fashion and beauty partners.
• The On partnership, which is ongoing.
• Personal training, which she has reduced but did for years.
None of these streams has public pay data, so the list explains where money could come from, not how much. For another example of how we handle an unverifiable fortune, see our guide to Sky Bri’s net worth and our write-up on Nicole Flenory’s net worth.
Gray Hair and Style Philosophy
Her silver hair is central to her brand, and the story behind it is on the record. She told Vogue Portugal in 2020 that she noticed her first white hairs in her twenties and began highlighting, then regularly dyeing, in her thirties.
She later let it grow out naturally and met resistance from friends and family who thought she was too young. She says the hair is now her identity and that its color shows mindset, not age.
Her style rules are consistent across interviews. She wears pieces for years: she told Madame Figaro Arabia she owns items that are over twenty years old, including some brought from Lebanon. She told On she buys quality over quantity and shops second-hand. Her inspirations include her grandmother and Iris Apfel, according to Remix Magazine.
Facts People Get Wrong About Grece Ghanem
| Common claim | What the record shows |
| She was born in Liberia | One low-quality site says so. On says Africa without naming a country. Unconfirmed. |
| She is 28, born in 1994 | False. Born 18 December 1964. |
| Her net worth is $50 million | No credible source. The page making the claim describes someone else. |
| She works as a dental assistant | One outlet says so. Most describe her as a hospital lab technician. |
| She is a runway model | Mixed reporting. Famous Birthdays and Highsnobiety describe fashion week appearances, not confirmed catwalk work. |
| She has a named husband | No source names one. |
Age-Inclusive Fashion: Where Grece Ghanem Fits
Ghanem did not invent the mature style influencer. NUVO placed her alongside Lyn Slater, whose Accidental Icon blog is a well-known earlier example.
What stands out about her is her audience. About Her reported in 2020 that her followers were mostly in their late twenties to forties, so her appeal reaches well beyond women her own age. W Korea made the same observation in 2023.
Highsnobiety’s early-2024 piece tied her visibility to growing interest in age-inclusive casting. How far that has changed the industry is debatable, but her career is one of the better-documented examples of what happens when brands put an older woman in a campaign.
