A model says she has been approached by wealthy parents who consider her the “perfect girlfriend” for their sons — and have allegedly offered six-figure sums for her to date them.
CeCe Rose told Daily Mail that she believes some elite families see her as a kind of social prize, describing herself as a potential “status symbol” in circles where image and reputation carry enormous weight.
The 26-year-old Italian-Canadian model claims she is regularly contacted by millionaire mothers and fathers who are eager for their sons to be publicly associated with someone they view as polished, desirable and high-caliber.
Recalling the first time she received such a message, CeCe said she was initially convinced it could not be legitimate. Her immediate reaction, she explained, was disbelief that anyone would make such an offer in earnest.
At that stage, she said, much of her online content focused on cooking and glimpses of her everyday routine, rather than only glamorous modeling shots.
CeCe believes that may have contributed to the attention, suggesting that some parents perhaps saw her as caring, self-sufficient and capable of managing her own life.

She added that many of the families who contact her already have significant wealth, social standing and connections, but appear to be seeking someone who could further enhance their son’s image.
‘What they feel their sons are missing is someone they see as “wife material”,’ she adds.
‘One family described their son as a “good guy with no prospects” and asked if they could fly me out to spend time with him.
‘It was almost like they were trying to outsource finding their son a girlfriend.’
CeCe, who currently lives in Toronto, Canada, claims parents will seek her out as a ‘solution to a problem they’ve been trying to solve for years’.
‘You can tell they’re worried their sons aren’t meeting women in real life, so they look online and think someone like me is the answer,’ she says.
‘I’ve had parents tell me they’d rather invest money into introducing their son to someone like me than watch him stay single and unhappy.
‘Some parents see me as the complete package – attractive, independent, career-driven and family-oriented – and they want their sons to experience that.’

Should parents use money to influence their children’s love lives or is that crossing a line?
CeCe Rose, 26, tells Daily Mail she has become the ultimate ‘status symbol’ for elite families who view her as the ‘ideal’ partner
The model says she has received all kinds of offers, including luxury trips and allowances, as well as long-term paid arrangements.
‘I’ve never seriously considered any of them,’ she says.
‘It’s flattering, but it’s also surreal. Imagine opening your phone and finding a parent trying to recruit you to date their son.’
CeCe claims one parent offered her a six-figure payment ‘just to show her son what a real relationship feels like’.
The influencer’s current life of luxury is a world away from her upbringing.
After being ‘heavily bullied’ in school and battling health issues, CeCe dropped out of high school and found herself with nowhere to go at just 15.
‘I was in the trenches. I moved out at 15 and was working two intense kitchen jobs – a barbecue place and an ice cream shop – just to survive,’ she says.
CeCe believes that her fans and these wealthy parents are drawn to her because she offers a level of care and ‘perfection’ that is vanishing from modern dating.
The Italian-Canadian says she is frequently headhunted by millionaire mothers and fathers who are desperate for their sons to be seen with a woman of her calibre
‘The “Girlfriend Experience” is about more than just looks; it’s about making someone feel like they are the only person in the world,’ she explains.
‘I think so many people come online searching for it because real-life dating has become so disconnected.
‘Men want that feeling of having a “dream girl” who actually pays attention to them, who looks incredible, and who fits into their high-status world perfectly.
‘My fans love it because I provide that escape. I’m the “ideal” they’ve been told doesn’t exist anymore.
‘To these parents, I’m the ultimate flex – a way to guarantee their son has the best of the best.’
Despite the eye-watering offers, CeCe says she never considers them because she refuses to give up the independence she nearly broke herself to build.
‘I never consider these offers. I know the value of a dollar because I’ve been at the bottom,’ she says.
‘Once you accept that kind of money to be someone’s “perfect” partner, you become a bird in a gilded cage. I won’t be someone else’s property.
‘I’ve worked too hard building my own empire to let a wealthy parent buy my life, no matter how many zeros are on the cheque.’
