During her successful career, the beautiful Kiana has added a multitude of titles to her portfolio. Cheerleader, actress, model, television show host, virtuoso piano player, and wife and mother are just a few words to describe the star. 

Kiana Tom was born on March 14, 1965, in Maui, Hawaii. Kiana is part Chinese, Hawaiian, and Irish, and her name means calm water. She began her career as a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders, the popular California football team.  

Much of Tom’s career has been focused on the fitness industry, earning her the nickname ESPN Fitness Queen. She began working with the fitness industry in 1988 as a host for the instructional fitness serious BodyShaping. Focusing on weight training, cardiovascular health, and proper nutrition, the long-running series has also included among its hosts Jennifer Dempster and Cory Everson. Supermodel Kathy Ireland also made occasional cameo appearances on the series. 

In 1995, Kiana capitalized on her success and audience appeal to host her own fitness series. Kiana’s Flex Appeal also focused on the principles of good health through regular exercise and proper diet. Since hosting her own show, Tom has gone on to develop her own fitness franchise. Her signature line includes fitness books, clothing, and instructional videos. She has hosted the Fitness America Pageant Series on television, and her contributions to the world of fitness and exercise have been recognized by the United States Sports Academy and several publications. She received the United States Sports Academy Eisenhower Award, and high profile publications like USA Today, Fit Magazine, and Cosmopolitan, have praised both the quality of her advice and television broadcasts. 

Aside from her position as reigning fitness queen, Kiana has also appeared in Playboy, joining the ranks of other Playmates like Jenny McCarthy, Pamela Anderson, and Donna D Errico. In 2002, she appeared not only on the cover of the magazine, but also in a nude pictorial between the covers. She co-hosted the ESPN X Games, which features competitions in less-conventional sports like BMX biking and skateboarding. Kiana has also found her way on to the big screen with a co-starring role in the 1999 film Universal Soldier: The Return. The action-packed, sci-fi film also starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and Michael Jai White. 

In her personal life, Kiana is also a wife and mother. She was married in March of 2002 to Dennis Breshears. She met the fireman when she sought help after being bitten by a dog. The couple has had two daughters: Anelalani, born in 2002 and Asialea, born in 2006. But don’t expect this new mom to exit the spotlight just yet. She still has dreams of being a superstar, and fans will probably be seeing her beautiful and exotic face and body for a long time to come.
