Adriana Lima married Serbian NBA player Marko Jarić on Valentine’s Day, 2009.
She quickly became pregnant with her first child.
During this time, 28-year-old Adriana continued to remain in the spotlight, but 2 months before her due date, a severe and rare condition called preeclampsia saw the first-time mother put on bed rest.
Due to the complications, their first child, Valentina Lina Jarić, was born six weeks early, on November 15, 2009.
In an interview with People magazine, she said,
I never thought I could love so much. I always thought, does unconditional love exist? Now I know it does because I feel it.

Immediately after the delivery, Adriana started working out and dieting. She was back to modeling for Victoria’s Secret in no time.
In 2012, Adriana and Jarić were pregnant with their second child— Sienna Lima Jarić.
In an exclusive interview with People magazine, she expressed her excitement about the new addition to her family and explained her weird food and drink cravings.
She quoted,
It’s very strange because I normally don’t like beer. Now I want some, but I cannot drink it.
