LGBT advocacy

Skriver has on numerous occasions spoken candidly about LGBT rights and openly disussed her own upbringing with both parents being members of the LGBT community.

In 2015, Skriver was made a celebrity ambassador for the Family Equality Council and its Outspoken Generation Program, which aims to raise awareness about LGBTQ families.

She has said that her ultimate goal is that her story will “not be that interesting soon, because that would mean that society has come to accept LGBT parents to be just as traditional and normal as any other way of having a family.”

Since 2013, Skriver has been in a relationship with American singer-songwriter and lead vocalist of The Cab, Alexander DeLeon. They modeled together in a fashion spread forElle Italia in July 2014.
