I first learned of Kelly Rohrbach’s existence in 2015, when she started dating Leonardo DiCaprio and suddenly became a bikini model. Like, she appeared in Sports Illustrated and started dating Leo all at the same time. She was all hype, and she had a great publicist who made her sound like the Coolest Girl to ever Cool Girl. Not even six months later, Kelly and Leo were done because she LITERALLY aged out of the Leo Girlfriend Experience when she turned 25. The Leo Girlfriend Experience did its thing though, and Kelly had somehow hustled her way onto magazine covers and into studio films. That being said, the last time I wrote about her (in 2017), it was because “sources” said she was a massive diva.
Kelly has been quiet for more than a year – the last time (I can find) that she walked a red carpet was at the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar party. She has been getting pap’d over the past year in the company of a dude named Steuart Walton. Yes, THAT Walton. Of the Walton family Walmart fortune. The Walton family is worth more than $150 billion. And now Kelly is married to one of the heirs.
You can call Kelly Rohrbach Mrs. Baewatch now … although she’d probably prefer Mrs. Walton, because TMZ has learned she’s married into the freakin’ Walmart fortune!!! Some would say Steuart Walton is the one who hit the jackpot when he and the “Baywatch” actress tied the knot. Our sources say they did the deed down in Florida a couple of weeks ago.
They’ve settled into married life well, apparently — we’re told they were spotted at a friend’s wedding recently … and both were sporting wedding bands. Back in March, the happy couple was spotted grabbing coffee and she seemed ecstatic. The massive engagement diamond weighing down Kelly’s hand probably didn’t hurt her mood.
Steuart and Kelly started dating about 2 years ago. Both attended Georgetown — she went for undergrad, and he went to the law school. His grandfather, Sam Walton, opened the first Walmart in 1962, and the fam’s net worth was about $163 BILLION in 2017 … when Bloomberg’s Index named them America’s richest family.
Kelly — who used to date Leonardo DiCaprio and once went on a date with Packers QB Aaron Rodgers — was Rookie of the Year in 2015 for SI’s Swimsuit Edition.
By most accounts, Steuart Walton is about 38 years old. Kelly Rohrbach is 29 years old. How… were they at Georgetown at the same time again? Did Walton go to law school when he was 30? I mean, he could have. There’s no rule that says you have to go to law school right after you get your bachelors degree at 21-22. Anyway, just a minor hiccup in the story. I think this is probably why Rohrbach has been so quiet the past few years, she was focusing on her relationship with a billionaire heir. And honestly, good for her. Good for them both. This is the first time I’m even hearing about them as a couple, and that’s a good thing. The Waltons like discretion. We’ll see.

It doesn’t say they were at Georgetown at the same time. Just that they both went there.
Its only stated that they both went to Georgetown. No one said at the same time
Good for her. I Googled some pictures of him; he’s kind of cute, in a nerdy sort of way. You could definitely find skeezier-looking billionaires to marry *cough* Evan Spiegel *cough*.
Agreed! He looks like a decent looking dude who happens to be worth BILLIONS!!! Congrats Kelly definitely an upgrade from the P Posse leader!
ehhh I see him as complicit until proven otherwise. Leo at least pretends to have great principles and values. its only an upgrade for looks and money. the soul counts too. hopefully some members of this family aren’t in bed with satan
He’s cute and his hair is amazing!! I wish my curls fell like that 😞
*The massive engagement diamond weighing down Kelly’s hand probably didn’t hurt her mood.*
This made me laugh so loud my office people are wondering if i am okay
She is a smart woman by most accounts. Georgetown is not easy to get into.
Good for her. She leveraged her Leo connection to get more work and attention, but at the end of the day she probably hated all the hussle in LA that is required to really make it; Its a lot of work! and honestly, while she is obviously pretty, she’s not stop you in your tracks gorgeous. So marrying a billionaire is a GREAT alternative lol
She got into Georgetown on a golf scholarship.
She had played one significant golf tournament. Yep, clearly “talented”. Aka making charity pay for her university fees.
She made it in movies by getting papped in SI swimsuit issue and by being Dicaprio’s girlfriend and with a good publicist. She didn’t make it into movies by being a good actress but by connections and by investing money which her family provided her with.
Her father is well-connected as an investment banker and back in the day he once suggested that his bank should use their customers investment accounts to buy stocks in such a way that it would turn out well for the bank. That document is somewhere on the internet.
Her maternal family is somewhat well-connected as well. Mummy is on the charity circuit.
Hmmm is he attractive at least? I’m sure he’s got a great personality but no doubt the Walton billions didn’t hurt. Off to google!
I’ve definitely seen worse by way of billionaire husbands.
I found him quote good looking? Not spectacular but average good looking.
I agree, he’s kinda cute!
His brother is cute too.
She’s stunning
Good for her for landing a dude that’s a billionaire because his family pays slave wages to people that then need government (tax payer) support just to eat. And don’t forget all the cheap plastic crap that is destroying the earth.
Bingo.
Exactly this. I have not set foot in a Walmart for years (whenever I’m back in Canada or the US, thank god they are not in Europe), and I will not, ever. That family is poison
The Waltons are kind of terrible people? Maybe life with Leo and his Pussy Posse primed her, in which case, good for her.
They exploit their shop assistants, basically.
The Waltons do nothing for the greater good, only themselves.
She looks exactly like Leilani Sarelle, the actress who played Sharon Stone’s lover in Basic Instinct. Then I realised she was a toddler when that movie came out.
God I’m old.
Wow-she really does!
This seems like a situation where marrying a “billionaire” might not be all it’s cracked up to be. His family are billionaires- not necessarily him. I can’t imagine they let him marry her without an airtight, iron clad prenup. So she married into the lifestyle but it’s still an iffy kind of security.
I hope she keeps earning her own money and saving it.
I watched him drop 13k at a charity auction the other night. He didn’t blink an eye. He seems fairly low key though
So who was the Léo girlfriend who is bankrupt?
I believe that was Bar Rafeli. But she went on the marry a monied dude as well. I don’t know if they are still together or not.
Erin Heatherton is the bankrupt one.
Bar Is the tax fraud one lol.
Nah, it wasn’t Bar. It was one of the other blondes that didn’t last very long that came after Bar. Google says Erin Heatherton.
@ Lady Law.
Yep, yep. yep. You are so right.
@Schmootc. Yes, they really do blend together and I was hella confused.
Erin or Heather something
Erin Heatherton

This is really a Georgetown cliche but good for her! Hoya saxa!
What kind of law degree did Walton earn?
Proper law degree or “I-didn’t-manage-proper-degree” kind of type? has he made it to the bar or does he do just company law contract stuff?
The Waltons are some of the most evil, soulless bunch of a-holes on the planet. So congrats to Kelly Rohrbach on marring into wealth earned on world-wide slave labor and heartless greed.
Petty I know but I don’t like the way Steuart is spelled…..I’ll leave now
Oh, me, too. Steuart with a ‘u’ is just so weird.
SL
I laughed at the part that she “once went on a date with Packers QB Aaron Rodgers” in addition to the other parts called out by others.
Some would say Steuart Walton is the one who hit the jackpot when he and the “Baywatch” actress tied the knot. – literally noone would say that
