Model Albert Reed, seen with Jeffrey and Lori Foster,
his aunt and uncle, on summer vacation in 2006 in Glen Cove.
Supermodel Albert Reed joins the ranks with a Spice Girl, an Emmy-winning actress and an Indy 500 champion on "Dancing With the Stars," which returns Sept. 24 for its fifth season.
Though the Abercrombie & Fitch cover boy may be lighting up primetime come fall, his No. 1 fan will be sitting in Glen Cove.
Reed's grandmother, Anne Foster, 81, refers to Reed as a "very nice, clean-cut boy." With her quiet voice, raspy with age, she tells of her "handsome grandson's" modeling career.
"He just walked into a modeling company in Miami, I guess he met a girl there," she said. "When they saw Albert they right away chose him as a model."
Reed, 22, who grew up in Miami and Vero Beach, Fla., was randomly sent by his agent to an interview with ABC. And that interview landed him a spot on one of TV's most popular shows, said Reed's mother, Barbara Foster of Vero Beach.
"He doesn't watch much TV, and didn't even know what the show was," said Jeffrey Foster, Reed's uncle, also of Glen Cove.
When watching Reed on a show that averages 15 million viewers, Anne Foster says she won't see a supermodel but the sweet surfing enthusiast who stays grounded enough to still enjoy grandma's company at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Reed's partner will be ballroom and Latin dancer Anna Trebunskaya, who took second place with football star Jerry Rice in season two.
Along with Reed the celebs on this year's edition will be Jane ("Dr. Quinn") Seymour, "Cheetah Girl" Sabrina Bryan, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, model Josie Maran, Las Vegas legend Wayne Newton, singer Marie Osmond, boxer Floyd Mayweather, former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves, "Beverly Hills 90210's" Jennie Garth and soap star Cameron Mathison. Reed was not on the list of contestants leaked to TMZ.com on Monday.
