Supermodel Adriana has first baby

Supermodel Adriana Lima has given birth to her first baby with her basketball player husband Marco Jaric.

A girl was born to the 28-year-old Brazilian in a New York hospital on November 15 and the couple have named her Valentina Lima Jaric.

A representative for the pair said: "Adriana and Marko are thrilled to announce they had a baby girl, Valentina Lima Jaric. Mother, father and baby are all doing well."

The name they picked for their child is a popular Latin one meaning "healthy and strong". Mexican actress Salma Hayek gave her daughter the same name two years ago.

Adriana became pregnant shortly after she married 31-year-old Serbian Marko in a small ceremony in Wyoming on Valentine's Day.

She had earlier said she had never seen herself being married or having a child.

"I never saw myself being married and having a child. Not because I did not want to. But it's tough to find somebody."

"(But after meeting Marko) everything changed. I knew he was the one and I could see myself married with him and with a big family," she added.
