Personal life

Lima is fluent in three languages—Portuguese, Spanish and English. In her free time, she loves reading a novel by her favorite author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.[2] Lima has admitted that she was shy around boys when she was younger. She got her first kiss at 17 years old.[17] In an interview with GQ April 2006 issue, Lima told the magazine that she is a virgin. “Sex is for after marriage," she says. "They have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, that means they don't want me."[18]

Despite reports, Lima denied ever being engaged to rocker Lenny Kravitz[19] and said that she and Kravitz are just friends.[20] She has also been romantically linked to other celebrities in the past, including Major League Baseball player Derek Jeter[3] and Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein.[16]
