“Former model Lipa, 30”
DISPUTED
Wikipedia confirms she worked as a model, but her birth date is August 22, 1995. As of the current date (and the 2025/2026 dates mentioned in other evidence), she would be 29 or 30, but the claim 'Former model Lipa, 30' is partially verified by Wikipedia's mention of her modeling, while her exact age depends on the specific date of the filing. However, the evidence provided for this specific claim index is mostly irrelevant (Sean Paul songs, biography links), though Wikipedia confirms the modeling part.
