"Here’s how I’m celebrating signing to Wilhelmina. I’m gonna cry,” she wrote on Instagram Stories accompanied by a snapshot of her Malaysian dish. 

Yuna announced the news to her 732,000 followers on Instagram yesterday.

"Hello world! Here’s the news I wanted to share with you guys. Your girl is now signed to @wilhelminamodels! Who woulda thought.. we did it mom (sic),” the 32-year-old wrote.
