Her first major acting projects were “The Final Destination” and “One Tree Hill” both in 2009, and “You and I” (2011). She then starred in “Something Wicked” (2014), although professing to be afraid of scary movies. In 2015 she appeared as Patty Spivot in the second season of The CW TV series “The Flash”, which boosted her career as an actress so much so that modeling fell to second place in her life. Her latest project as an actress is in the TV series “Shooter” (2016-2018) – a conspiracy thriller from the novels of Stephen Hunter – which follows the journey of Bob Lee Swagger, and in which Shantel has the main feminine role of Julie Swagger, Bob Lee’s wife.

VanStanten is born on 25 July 1985, in Luverne, Minnesota, but grew up in Spring, Texas with her mother and grandmother named Doris. Her mother’s and father’s names aren’t revealed, however, it is known that she is 75% Dutch & 25% Norwegian by descent. She comes from a simple family of farmers, as her grandparents practiced agriculture in Minnesota. She also has a brother and a sister, both younger than her.

Has Shantel found the love of her life?

So far, she has not experienced married life, but has definitely met some interesting guys with whom she has apparently fallen in love, including Michael Johnson. Reports say VanSanten’s relationship with Michael Johnson lasted only from 2008 to 2009, but they did not show their personal life, so the media found about it just months before they chose to separate in mid-2009. Another handsome hunk from her romantic life was James Lafferty, with whom she was seen shortly after the split with Johnson, but neither could Lafferty could keep her interested for a longer period of time, so they broke up after a few months.

Shantel then started dating Jon Fletcher, an actor who also played in “One Tree Hill”. Previously, Shantel posted pictures on her Instagram which gave the idea of her loving relationship with Jon, however, she later deleted the photos which hinted towards the inevitable end of the affair; supposedly, Jon’s jealousy of Shantel and Robert Buckley, her best friend, was the reason for their breakup. However, until one of them publicly discloses the cause for their split, it’s not possible to assume anything with certainty. By the way, her relationship with her friend Robert Buckley is very beautiful. They built a very strong friendship between them, whether it has a romantic part or not. Shantel didn’t avoid talking about this friendship. In an interview with Fame10 on 19 April 2016, she said: “He’s my best friend, no no no! I mean we sleep in the same bed and nap together and to have that friendship to me is so important.” Further, Shantel also revealed that she liked sabotaging her best friend’s relationships. She added: “I cut them [girls] away. I’m pretty much like, ‘Not good enough, that’s not gonna happen, I don’t like her!”
