Grimes had the misfortune of being in Japan at the time of the 2011 tsunami and earthquakes. Though she wasn’t injured, the experience spurred her to start a campaign called Spread the Heart’, which was aimed at supporting the relief efforts in Japan after the disaster. One of her vocational dreams was to work as an editor for a fashion magazine, so Grimes took a six-week internship at Teen Vogue in New York City in 2011. Shenae Grimes is a self-proclaimed atheist. She married British model and musician Josh Beech on May 10, 2013.
