Alessandra Corine Ambr�sio (Portuguese pronunciation: [ale's?~d?? ?~'b??zju] ; born April 11, 1981)[5] is a Brazilian model. Described by Tyra Banks as "the future of the modeling world",[6] Ambrosio is best known for her work with Victoria's Secret and was chosen as the first spokesmodel for the company's "PINK" line. Ambrosio is currently one of the Victoria's Secret Angels and the former face of the UK company Next.[7]
Ambrosio was born in Erechim, Brazil on April 11, 1981. Her parents, who are of Italian and Polish descent, own a petrol station.[10][6] Ambr�sio was just eight years old when she decided that she wanted to be a model, after seeing a picture of top covergirl Karen Mulder in a magazine: "I wanted to be like her", she recalls. She enrolled at a modelling class at the age of 12 and at the age of 14 she was one of 20 finalists for an elite modelling competition in Brazil.[6] Ambrosio was always insecure about her large ears and at eleven had cosmetic surgery to get her ears pinned back, though two years later she suffered complications.[11] In 2006 she appeared on The Tyra Banks Show, and said that the surgery was a bad experience and has discouraged her from ever getting plastic surgery again.
Aside from modeling work, Ambrosio serves as an ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.[8] Ambrosio was also selected by AskMen.com as Number 2 out of the "Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2008"
When Ambrosio first came to New York, Gisele B�ndchen lent her apartment for two weeks and Adriana Lima helped her translate English.[27] She described her typical week as jetsetting from one country to another for photo shoots and in between she has some phone interviews. She still visits her family in Brazil regularly and calls Erechim, Brazil her favorite place in the world and having traveled the world has not yet convinced her otherwise.[6]
In 2005, she broke up with model Marcello Baldrini when she caught him making out with another woman at Marquee. She later dated magazine editor Steve Allain before taking up with Jamie Mazur.[28]
She is very conscious of her figure and works out with her Brazilian trainer doing the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a mix of samba, capoeira and aerobics.[29] Ambrosio's best friend is fellow Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros.[30]
On August 24, 2008, Ambrosio and her fianc�, California businessman Jamie Mazur, had their first child, a daughter named Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur,[31] in Florianopolis, Brazil.
