Adriana Lima gives birth to daughter Valentina

2008 ESPY Awards - Arrivals

Adriana Lima gave birth on Sunday to a little girl. Adriana and her husband Marko Jaric named their daughter Valentina Lima Jaric. Salma Hayek’s beautiful little girl is named Valentina too, so I guess the name is officially trendy. Personally, I don’t love it or hate it. As for the other “trend” – I guess the girl doesn’t have a real middle name, she just her mom’s maiden name? That trend is growing in popularity – my name’s trend never did. I’m the only person I’ve ever known with no middle name. Not trendy! Anyhoodle, Adriana seems to have had a very easy pregnancy – she and Marko announced in late May, a little more than three months after their elopement. As a matter of fact, Valentina was born almost exactly nine months after their wedding day – Valentine’s Day. Looks like they had a honeymoon baby! This is even more interesting (sort of) because Adriana always talked about how she was saving herself for marriage. It’s all so old-school.

Adriana Lima now has a little angel of her own: the Victoria’s Secret model and her husband, NBA star Marko Jaric, welcomed a daughter on Sunday in New York City.

“Adriana and Marko are thrilled to announce they had a baby girl, Valentina Lima Jaric,” a rep for Lima tells PEOPLE. “Mother, father and baby are all doing well.”

Lima, 28, met the Memphis Grizzlies star, 31, in 2006 and got engaged two years later on Lima’s 27th birthday. The couple eloped on Valentine’s Day this year, tying the knot in a small, private civil ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Soon after the honeymoon, Lima learned she was expecting. “We are so excited!” she told PEOPLE at the time. “We wanted this. We were ready.”

“Even in my wildest days I knew that I wanted to be the ultimate family man,” Jaric adds. “We’re ready to settle down.”

Congratulations to the happy family! I’m sure they’re thrilled, but I’d also guess that Marko probably wants a boy (someone to play sports with, just my guess). It sounds like Adriana is probably going to “pull a Klum” and get knocked up again any minute now too. I wonder if Adriana is going to hang up her Victoria’s Secret diamond-bedazzled push-up bra now? Doubtful. She’ll probably get her figure back in two seconds.
