The then-couple first announced they were expecting shortly after their honeymoon, telling PEOPLE at the time, “We are so excited! We wanted this. We were ready.”
“Even in my wildest days I knew that I wanted to be the ultimate family man,” Jarić added. “We’re ready to settle down.”
Almost a year after Valentina’s birth,Lima further reflected on how motherhoodmade her more confident in her skin, saying it “makes me feel sexier.”
“I’m in love, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done,” the model told PEOPLE in October 2010.
She added that was fully supportive of her daughter following in her modeling footsteps someday. “I will support her whatever she may become — a model, a ballerina, a doctor … whatever makes her happy,” she said.
Sienna
In September 2012, Lima and Jarićwelcomed their second child together, a daughter named Sienna. “Marko and I are overjoyed to welcome Sienna into our family and [2½-year-old daughter] Valentina is looking forward to becoming a big sister!” Lima announced on Twitter at the time.
During an interview with PEOPLE in May 2016,Lima gushed about her daughters, saying they are what makes her feel the most beautiful.
“Every day just waking up in the morning having them smile at you like you’re the most amazing person in the whole world. The unconditional love that they have towards you, it makes you feel special no matter what they do,” she said. “Like, my oldest knows how to write, so she makes her little cards to me like ‘I love you Mom,’ and those sort of things. It makes you feel special.”
As her daughters got older, she said she was teaching them that “beauty comes from inside out and [believing] in themselves, being confident, being honest, and respecting themselves and others — that’s beauty, I think.”
Lima has shared many glimpses of her mini-mes on social media; in April 2023, Lima told PEOPLE that both of her daughters were developinga “big-time” interest in fashion. “Actually, they give me hints on fashion. They go, ‘Mom can I do your makeup today? Mom, can I choose your outfit?'” the model said.
No matter what they decide to do for a living, Lima told PEOPLEshe hopes they’ll remember two important life lessons. “It’s important for me that number one, that whatever they do, they’ll be happy with their choices,” she said in August 2023. “If they figure out they’re not happy that they can change. Number two is that they embrace themselves and that they’re not afraid to grow up or become older. Every stage of life there are different perks, experiences and things that you’ll learn.”

In her TikTok debut that February, the model shared a video announcing her pregnancy. The video featured footage of the many times the movie producer was able to record himself scaring Lima. “Andre likes to scare me… but today is payback!” she wrote before revealing a positive pregnancy test.
“Every day, I learn new things,” she added. “And with age, your body reacts differently. But it’s okay. I’m learning."
“The face of a tired mom of one teenage girl, two preteens, one active boy, a 1-year-old learning to walk, and three dogs,” she captioned a selfie of herself. “Thanks for your concern.”
