Adriana Lima: Pregnant Again!
Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima is ready to welcome another little angel.
The Brazilian beauty, 30, is expecting her second child later this year.
Lima is already mom to 2-year-old daughter Valentina. The man responsible is former NBA player Marko Jaric, 33. No longer in the league, he spends his days impregnating Adriana Lima, apparently. Not a bad career move really.
Lima's rep says that “the entire family is very excited, especially Valentina. She keeps blowing kisses to my belly and saying, ‘Kisses for the baby.’”
When the model met Jaric, 33, at a party in L.A. in 2006, “I knew he was the one and I could see myself married to him and with a big family.”
The couple wed on Valentine’s Day 2009 and soon after the honeymoon, they learned they were expecting their first child. Now it's time for #2!
While Lima has continued to strut her stuff on the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, she calls motherhood her "favorite career."
“The best job in the world for me is being a mom,” she says. “I always thought, does unconditional love exist? Now I know it does because I feel it.”

Miranda Kerr, Chanel Iman, Adriana Lima, and Doutzen Kroes are each featured in the latest issue of ELLE, with each beauty garnering her own cover and wearing her own old school bathing suit.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show-Down: Adriana Lima vs. Alessandra Ambrosio
At last night's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, there was one real winner: the male gender.
Still, we're asking readers to choose between a pair of that company's most famous, best-bodied models: Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.
Both were among the many beauties who walked the red carpet on a special aired by CBS, the gorgeous finale of which you can sit back and watch NOW. Once you've ogled that video, and wiped the drool off your keyboard, compare and contrast below:
Adriana Lima Presents... the $2 Million Bra!
It requires a lot to take one's eyes off Adriana Lima... but a $2 million bra will do the job.
At the Victoria's Secret store in SoHo yesterday, the model unveiled just such an item. She donned a piece of lingerie estimated at that amount and encrusted with 142 carats of white diamond, saphire and topaz stones.
Lima first wore the aptly-named Fantasy Bra in 2008, while Marisa Miller sported it 2009. The cost got us thinking: What would you spend $2 million on?

Adriana Lima Defines Sexiness
You might look amazing in lingerie, Gisele, but your post-baby body has competition from a long-time rival.
Adriana Lima is stepping up her game in the Spanish edition of V magazine, posing topless and defining what's sexy - literally!
"To me, it is all about confidence in yourself both physically and mentally. But you also have to have a slightly playful attitude about everything," she says.
We'd like to be playful with Adriana... if you know what we mean!
Also, Lima was asked about the sexiest thing in her closet and when she wears it. She replied: "Lingerie... morning, noon and night."
Really, look here, she's not kidding!
Adriana Lima, Marko Jaric Welcome Baby Girl!
Victoria's Secret angel Adriana Lima now has one of her own. She and her husband, NBA player Marko Jaric, welcomed a daughter on Sunday in New York.
"Adriana and Marko are thrilled to announce they had a baby girl, Valentina Lima Jaric," a rep for Lima said. "Mother, father and baby are all doing well."
Lima met the Memphis Grizzlies player in 2006 and got engaged two years later on her birthday. The pair eloped on Valentine's Day this year in Wyoming.
Soon after the honeymoon, Lima learned she was expecting: "We are so excited!" she said at the time. "We wanted this. We were absolutely ready."
"Even in my wildest days I knew that I wanted to be the ultimate family man," Jaric, who averaged 2.6 points per game for Memphis last year, but is probably the most popular guy on the bench because he sees Adriana Lima nude, said.
"We're very ready to settle down."
Congratulations to the couple!
Adriana Lima: Pregnant!
It's official:
Marko Jaric has seen Adriana Lima nude at least once.
A spokesperson for the super, super model and her professional basketball-playing husband has confirmed that Lima is knocked up:
“Adriana and Marko are overjoyed that they are expecting their first child together and are excited to share the happy news and start their family together.”
We wish nothing but the best to this cute couple!
Olivia Wilde Tops Maxim Hot List
Maxim has released its "2009 Hot 100," the magazine's definitive list of the world’s most beautiful women, and topping the list is ... actress Olivia Wilde.
Without giving away House spoilers, we'll just say the 25-year-old puts the McDoctors of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice to shame with her sexiness.
"When it comes to TV docs, there's only one who makes our body temperatures rise," the venerable men's publication extolls. We were drooling over the NYC native long before she was injected into Fox's hit medical drama."
Certainly hard to argue with that. Here's this year's winner ...
WILDE CARD: Olivia Wilde bested Megan Fox to win the coveted honor of Maxim's hottest female of 2009. No small feat, as this is Megan Fox's reason for being.
Here's the full top 10 on this year's Maxim Hot List ...
- Olivia Wilde
- Megan Fox
- Bar Refaeli
- Malin Akerman
- Mila Kunis
- Eliza Dushku
- Adriana Lima
- Rihanna
- Jordana Brewster
- Jennifer Love Hewitt

Adriana Lima Poses For Victoria's Secret
The other day we proclaimed that Marisa Miller bikini pictures were the best thing around, and the aforementioned model the best in the world at what she does.
This still may be true, but Adriana Lima looks like she's rising to the occasion. Much like many of the guys who may be staring at these photos right about now ...
Adriana Lima models some odd underwear for Victoria's Secret.
We suppose the Brazilian beauty's recent photo shoot for Victoria's Secret is nothing that remarkable, as this is how she makes a living, and we all know how good their lingerie looks with her modeling it. But come on, she did a heck of a job.
We still can't believe Marko Jaric is hitting this, possibly for life, but what are you gonna do. Hate him, or click to enlarge the Adriana Lima pics below? We thought so:
