Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio entered the world of fashion as an early teen when she enrolled herself in a modeling class at the age of 12.

Ambrosio�s breakthrough modeling project came soon after when she was chosen to appear on the cover of the Brazilian edition of the international fashion glossy Marie Claire. The cover helped the model land a deal with Guess and she went on to appear in their Millennium campaign for fall 2000. The year 2000 also saw Ambrosio make a runway appearance for Victoria's Secret for the first time. Ambrosio went on to become one of Victoria Secret's Angels and was chosen to be the first ever spokesmodel for the brand�s PINK line in 2004. She has been the face of many prestigious brands such as Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior, Armani Exchange, Next, etc. and has also appeared on the cover of many international fashion magazines like Vogue Ocean Drive, Marie Claire, Glamour Harper's Bazaar, GQ, Elle and Cosmopolitan.

Though her salary took a hit over the next few years, she still took home paychecks in excess of $5 million per year in 2010 and 2011 and was named the fifth to earning model in the world by Forbes magazine for 2010-11.

Apart from being one of the most successful models in the world, Alessandra Ambrosio is also a budding fashion designer.

Alessandra Ambrosio began dating model Marcelo Boldrini in 2001 and the couple had a relatively healthy relationship for a while. However, Ambrosio�s meteoric success didn�t sit well with Boldrini and the couple split up in 2005. In 2005, she began seeing Steve Allain, a Brazilian magazine editor. The relationship was closely followed by the Brazilian media and the intense media scrutiny is rumored to have caused the couple split after just a few months together. Later in 2005, Ambrosio began dating Jamie Mazur, a businessman based in California though the couple kept their relationship extremely private. However, the couple announced their engagement after their daughter Anja Louise was born in august 2008. In May 2012, the couple welcomed their second child together, a son named Noah Phoenix.
