Ambrósio 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. 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. She is also signed to Storm Model Management in London. She opened the show the following year. Ambrosio guest-starred on How I Met Your Mother (episode: “The Yips”) on November 26, 2007 with her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller, Miranda Kerr, and Heidi Klum. Ambrosio’s Angel status has brought her to the public’s attention, and she is often cited by the popular media as one of the world’s sexiest women. She dated magazine editor Steve Allain before beginning a relationship with Jamie Mazur.
