Adriana Lima is undoubtedly the chastest member of the Victoria's Secret Angels. An angel in more ways than one, she waited until age 17 to experience her first kiss, to which her partner responded by asking her mother for permission to marry the model. His reaction was cute, but it wasn't very far off from what would be required to go further with Adriana Lima. A devout Catholic (she’s been known to bring her Bible to runway events), she has been frank about her belief in saving sex for after marriage and admitted to GQ in April of 2006 that she was, in fact, a virgin. That issue was GQ’s top-seller of the year, and the magazine would christen her as “The World’s Most Voluptuous Virgin.”
While men around the world were no doubt ready to propose marriage to Adriana Lima at the drop of a hat, she spent some time on the celebrity dating scene before finally finding her ideal match. The lure of royalty -- in the form of Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein -- wasn’t enough to win hear, nor was rock, as one Lenny Kravitz soon learned. Adriana Lima’s winning suitor would come to be Serbian basketball star (and former NBA player) Marko Jaric, who met her in 2007 and married her in 2009. Adriana Lima may have left her virgin label at the altar, but thanks to her stunning physique and sexy gaze, she remains among the most beautiful of beauties.
Since winning one of Brazil’s biggest modeling competitions, Adriana Lima has been front and center in the modeling world since her debut with the Victoria’s Secret Angels in 2000. With them, she’s been able to groove with Bob Dylan, show off multimillion dollar bras and also ink her name onto other lucrative contracts with the likes of Maybelline, Givenchy and even Doritos. One of the more versatile Victoria’s Secret Angels in the projects she chooses, Adriana Lima is the total professional package -- and her industry weight as one of the priciest models backs it up.
When she’s not playfully mimicking Angie Dickinson on magazine covers, befriending Ugly Betty or joining Clive Owen on cinematic BMW commercials, Adriana Lima somehow finds time to have a life away from modeling and also make a difference in matters that she believes in. In her downtime, she’s known for being an avid reader and she’s active in supporting the Ways of Light orphanage in her birthplace of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. In addition to that, she also helped Turkish children with leukemia by participating in a local broadcast of Deal or No Deal to help their cause.
