Adriana Lima's Kids Are Her Runway Coaches!

Supermodel Adriana Lima graced the runway at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show held in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 18. Backstage, she shared how her three children significantly contributed to her preparation for the event. Lima highlighted their supportive role, mentioning they accompany her to the gym and offer dietary advice, sometimes playfully scolding her for indulging.

With her eldest daughters, Valentina, 16, and Sienna, 14, entering their teenage years, both have expressed a desire to pursue modeling careers. Lima anticipates the possibility of Valentina, who turns 17 in November, walking the runway, a moment she described as a dream for both mother and daughter.

Lima's return to the iconic event marks a significant comeback after her retirement as an Angel in 2018 and a subsequent period after welcoming her youngest child. She previously noted the camaraderie among fellow models, many of whom are now mothers, creating a shared experience and conversation.

In discussions about her modeling career, Lima has emphasized her commitment to inspiring other women, including her daughters. She focuses on teaching them the beauty of aging gracefully and prioritizing happiness in their life choices, encouraging them to embrace self-acceptance and adapt to life's different stages.
