Adriana Lima is getting a divorce. It wouldn’t be newsworthy, except this whole marriage seemed rather sketchy. Adriana married former NBA star Marko Jaric in 2009 after dating for three years. That whole time while they were dating, Adriana and Marko never had sex. According to her. She stayed a virgin until she was 27 years old, and she saved herself for marriage. Adriana and Marko welcomed a daughter, Valentina, almost nine months exactly after they got married. Her virginity isn’t any of our business, of course. I’m only noting it now because she discussed it years ago, and because I think it might be one of the reasons why she and Marko have split up now:
Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima and former NBA star Marko Jaric have split, PEOPLE confirms exclusively.
“After long and careful consideration, we have decided to separate after five years of marriage,” they said in a joint statement to PEOPLE.
“We are grateful to be the parents of two incredible young daughters that we will continue to co-parent. We would greatly appreciate your respect for our family’s privacy as we begin this delicate next chapter for all members of our family.”
Lima, 32, and Jaric, 35, met at a party in Los Angeles in 2006 and got engaged two years later on Lima’s 27th birthday. They eloped in 2009, exchanging vows on Valentine’s Day in a private civil ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
“Our life, we live in a honeymoon,” the Brazilian beauty told PEOPLE six months after they tied the knot. “I never saw myself being married. But after I met him, everything changed. I knew he was the one and I could see myself married with him and with a big family.”
The couple have been raising their two children – daughters Valentina, 4, and Sienna, 19 months – in Miami.
“Even in my wildest days I knew that I wanted to be the ultimate family man,” Jaric told PEOPLE in 2009.
Though Lima has walked the Milan runways for Prada and showcased her killer body in nothing but lingerie for Victoria’s Secret, she says, “The best job in the world for me is being a mom.”
My take? Once a baller, always a baller, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Marko was fooling around on his Victoria’s Secret model wife. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Adriana wondered if there were other, better dongs out there. I wonder if Adriana will rebound straight into the arms of some millionaire who will take care of her? Or she could sow her wild oats in a post-marriage blaze of dong/glory. We’ll see.
