Adriana Lima Bids Tear-Filled Farewell to Victoria's Secret Show

Lima, a mother of two, was the longest-serving Victoria's Secret model and Angel, a spokesmodel for the company. She has walked the runway at the lingerie brand's annual televised fashion show every year except one since 1999, when she was 18. She took 2009 off while she was pregnant with her second daughter, Valentina.

It has been rumored for a while that Lima plans on retiring her Victoria's Secret wings. She told People in November 2017 that she plans on walking her 20th show, adding, "Maybe more, I don't know. It's nature. I'm working out, I'm being healthy, so let's see how the body is going to turn out. But I enjoy it. So let's say 20."

That month, former Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio hung up her wings after the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, after 17 years with the company.

A month later, Lima spurred fresh retirement rumors when she posted on Instagram, "I had received a call for the possibility of filming a sexy video of me to be posted and shared in social media. Even though I have done many of this type, something had changed in me, when a friend approached me to share that she was unhappy with her body. Then it made me think.... that everyday in my life, I wake up thinking, how do I look? Was I going to be accepted in my job?"
