Chris Whelan’s last year appearance with Chad White in German magazine Feld Hommes was a perfect double whammy. The summer photo-ed of Men’s Fitness, minus Chad, while not as dramatic, is still quite enjoyable.

The 29-year-old New York model roams across Saint Lucia island, with a backpack full of designer trunks, occasionally pausing to kiss his number one girl, Valencia.

“A Summer to Remember” was shot by Steven White, and we do hope that Valencia will forever cherish this Chris-Whelan-Hugged-Me moment.

We would.
