Model Adriana Lima and her husband Marko Jaric have announced they are separating after five years of marriage.
Adriana Lima and her husband have split after 5 years.
Lima is best known as a model for Victoria’s Secret whilst Jaric is an NBA Player. Lima began modelling for the lingerie company in 2000 and is now amongst the highest paid models in the world. Lima famously, as the LA Times reports, was a virgin until she married at 27. She stated, in a 2006 interview with GQ, that “sex is for after marriage” and that the men in her life had “to respect that this is my choice. If there’s no respect, that means they don’t want me.”
Lima and Jaric began dating from 2007 and became engaged the following year. They eloped in 2009 and married in a private ceremony in Wyoming on Valentine’s Day.
