Erin Heatherton is a lot of things. She’s an actress, supermodel, and most importantly, a Bears fan.

The Skokie native didn’t miss a shot to show off her Bears pride Thursday evening while watching the Patriots and Steelers kick off the NFL season.

Heatherton has never been shy about her love of sports, specifically the Chicago teams. She has previously posted pictures of herself with both Bears and Bulls gear.

The supermodel is more than just a fan. At Niles North, Heatherton played basketball.

Heatherton isn’t the only high profile Bears fan showing off their pride before the start of the season. Earlier in the offseason, actor Ashton Kutcher said he expects the Bears to win at least nine games.
