In order to land her gig as an MTV VJ in Australia, she competed against 2000 other hopefuls in a three-week national search, as former VJ [[Lyndsey Rodrigues]] moved to the United States to co-host [[Total Request Live|TRL]].<ref name = "ruby becomes vj"/> As part of the competition, she downed 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes against [[Jackass: The Movie|Jackass]]' [[Bam Margera]], and kissed strangers on a busy Sydney street.<ref name = "ruby becomes vj"/><ref name = "ruby becomes vj"/> However, she enjoys her job as VJ compared to her previous job as a model. "Being a model there is always something they want to change. Whether they want someone a little bit skinnier, a little bit taller, a little bit prettier, but MTV want you to be yourself ... not censoring anything and not conforming to anything".<ref name = "ruby becomes vj"/>
[[File:Ruby Rose (8192089034).jpg|thumb|left|upright|Ruby Rose in 2012]]

Rose is [[genderfluid]], saying, "I am very gender fluid and feel more like I wake up every day sort of gender neutral."<ref>[http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/ruby-rose-says-she-doesnt-identify-as-female-or-male-after-releasing-a-genderbending-short-film/story-e6frfn09-1226996973878] (22 July 2014). News.com. Retrieved on 22 July 2014</ref> This announcement came approximately a week after she released a short film called ''Break Free'', in which she visually transitions from a very feminine woman to a heavily tattooed man.

With regard to [[childhood gender nonconformity]], Rose told ''[[The Guardian]]'' and the ''[[Daily Mail]]''<!--NOTE: Because Wikipedians tend to remove the "Daily Mail" as an unreliable source, this is given in-text attribution so that it is clear that this is an exclusive interview; in other words, use of the "Daily Mail" on Wikipedia is not banned.--> that she wanted to be a boy while growing up and that she was saving up money to physically [[Transitioning (transgender)|transition]] from female to male.<ref name="Kellaway"/><ref name="Lewis">{{Cite news|last=Lewis|first=Maria|title ='I was like Shiloh when I was a kid': Ruby Rose compares herself to Angelina Jolie's tomboy daughter|date = April 7, 2014|accessdate=June 17, 2015|publisher=''[[Daily Mail]]''|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2599352/Ruby-Rose-compares-Angelina-Jolies-tomboy-daughter.html#ixzz3dIURNCJX}}</ref> She stated, "It was in my mind as something I wanted to do and then I just... didn't. I guess I grew out of it. I even used to sleep on my front because I didn't want to get boobs ever, which I think worked actually." She stated that modelling led her to discover [[androgyny]], and allowed her to model with different gender expressions. She recalled, "I remember being at a Yum Cha restaurant with my dad and the owner coming up and saying, 'Excuse me, we're trying to work out if you're a handsome boy or a beautiful girl.' It was a compliment and I was shocked, and when I thought about it I actually wanted to be a handsome boy".<ref name="Lewis"/>

In 2008, Rose was reported to be in a relationship with [[Jessica Origliasso]] from [[The Veronicas]], as the two had been seen behaving intimately.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.fox.com.au/entertainment/music/news/veronicas-gets-kiss-from-a-rose| title = Veronicas twin gets kiss from a Rose (again)| accessdate = 25 November 2008| date = 30 April 2008| publisher = ''fox 101.9''}}</ref> Rose stated in a live blog that they are simply "really good mates".<ref name = "ruby"/> She was in a relationship with ''[[America's Next Top Model]]'' contestant Lola Van Vorst and was also briefly engaged to model Lyndsey Anne McMillan.
