Personal life:
In addition to her native Portuguese, Lima speaks English, French, and a bit of Italian. Lima was shy around boys when she was younger, not receiving her first kiss until she was 17 years old. They were watching a movie during the kiss. Afterwards, he went directly to her mother to ask if he could marry her.[23] In an interview with GQ in the April 2006 issue, Lima told the magazine that she is a devout Catholic who attends church every Sunday and is a virgin. "Sex is for after marriage," she explained. "They [men] have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, that means they don't want me."[24] US GQ dubbed her as "The World's Most Voluptuous Virgin." When she was younger, she studied to become a nun and often takes a Bible backstage to read.
She has been romantically linked to musician/singer Lenny Kravitz,Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein, and Denny of Timbalada. She is currently engaged to Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić. They will wed in Brazil in June of 2009.
