Summary
- Chanel Iman's husband advised against her joining 'Special Forces'
- Iman found the show "one of the most challenging things" she's done
- Iman was eliminated in episode 6, but says it was an "incredible experience"

In a recent interview, model Chanel Iman, 34, reflected on her experience competing on the reality show 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test'. Iman revealed that her NFL star husband, Davon Godchaux, initially advised her not to do the show, but later became supportive after watching it together.
"His advice was not to even do it. But then once we watched it together, he's like, 'Well, maybe you could do this,'" Iman said. She added that Godchaux has "always been so supportive to go for whatever I put my mind to."
Despite her husband's initial hesitation, Iman found the show "one of the most challenging things" she's ever done in her life. She was eliminated from the competition during episode 6, which she described as "a little disappointing." However, Iman also said the overall experience was "really humbling" and that she feels "so blessed to be a part of the show."
