00:00A jet-setting lifestyle, cryptic quotes, and cheating rumors.
00:04Was there more to Adriana Lima and Marco Jarek's split than meets the eye?
00:09There will be emotions, good ones, intense ones."
00:15Adriana Lima and Marco Jarek may simply have been too different to make it work for the
00:19long haul.
00:20Jarek confessed the year after they tied the knot that they didn't totally see eye-to-eye
00:24on a few things, but claimed at the time it was actually a good thing for their relationship.
00:28He told Hello Canada,
00:29"[We're opposite in some things, but that's good.
00:32There's a sparkle in our marriage.
00:33We match unbelievably well, and we have a great adventure together."
00:37Jarek didn't elaborate about what those differences were, though Lima has touched on how she'd
00:41personally changed since becoming a mom.
00:43She told Vogue India in November 2021 that she learned how important it is for her to
00:47set a good example to her children the older they got, saying,
00:50"...I try to teach them to love the skin they're in, and eat healthily for their bodies, and
00:54to also practice positive mental wellness through meditation."
00:57"...Now ask me how many cups of coffee I have a day."
01:01Notably, Lima and Jarek also seemed pretty different on their social media accounts.
01:05Jarek appeared more comfortable sharing a look at his down-to-earth time with his kids
01:09across his Instagram grid, while Lima appears to keep her family time a little more private.
01:14Her page is instead littered with gorgeous glimpses at her glamorous life.
01:18Adriana Lima has hinted that absence may have played a part in her divorce from Marco Jarek,
01:22having posted a series of cryptic quotes around the time she announced her split, two months
01:27after going public with the breakup news.
01:29Lima shared one of her potentially most telling quotes on Instagram, which read,
01:32"...if you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success."
01:36Lima herself appeared to be very busy jet-setting around that time, which may have made maintaining
01:41her relationship and spending time at the couple's Beverly Hills home more difficult.
01:45She was apparently traveling a lot around the time of her split, with trips to France,
01:49New York, and Turkey.
01:51Lima also made it clear that work was, understandably, very important to her.
01:55A packed schedule certainly wouldn't be a surprising factor in Lima and Jarek's split,
01:59as that's exactly what a source claimed got in the way of the former's subsequent relationship
02:03with NFL star Julian Edelman.
02:05They split in March 2017, with an Entertainment Tonight tipster suggesting things didn't work
02:10because they were just too busy.
02:12Adriana Lima has been pretty vocal about how important her values and morals are to her,
02:17even remaining a virgin until she married Marco Jarek at 27 years old.
02:21Lima has also touched on how important her unwavering outlook on life is to CNBC in 2017,
02:27explaining that she learned to have strong morals in the spotlight because so many people
02:30look up to her.
02:31She elaborated,
02:32"'People are watching you, and you become their inspiration.
02:35I really just want to put a positive message and try to show the real values, the most
02:39important values in life out there.'"
02:41"'And it's a challenge.
02:42I love a challenge.'"
02:44Was that fearless attitude coming into play when Adriana Lima began hinting that there
02:48may be trouble in paradise before she and Marco Jarek officially confirmed their breakup?
02:53She certainly gave us a lot of cryptic clues in the form of positive affirmations.
02:57The former Victoria's Secret model's Instagram account was littered with inspirational quotes
03:01around the time of her split, with one in particular potentially hinting at how she
03:05felt about Marco towards the end of her marriage.
03:07The month prior to the divorce announcement, she shared two telling quotes, one from novelist
03:11Paolo Coelho read,
03:13"'How people treat you' is a direct reflection on how they feel about themselves."
03:16Another stated,
03:17"'You cannot hang out with negative people and expect to live a positive life.'"
03:21Another hint about what really went down may have come in July 2014, when Lima posted a
03:25quote that read,
03:26"'The real power of a man is the size of the smile of the woman sitting next to him.'"
03:30Lima also appeared to be spending more time with her girlfriends around the time of her
03:34split, and even shared a stunning photo to Instagram of herself and Candice Wanapool
03:38kissing their fellow Victoria's Secret angel, Dots and Kruse's baby bump, in early May 2014.
03:44Could a need for independence have been behind Adriana Lima and Marco Jarek's split?
03:48In May 2017, Lima hit the headlines when she made it clear how much she valued herself
03:52by announcing she was married — to herself.
03:55The revelation came via Instagram when the former Victoria's Secret angel addressed speculation
03:59about why she was sporting a ring on that one special finger.
04:03What's up with the ring?
04:04It's symbolic.
04:05I am committed to myself and my own happiness.
04:07I am married with me."
04:08When ET asked the runway stomper about the post a few months later, she said,
04:12If you're incapable of loving your own self, how can you love anyone else in your life
04:16if you don't know how to embrace you?
04:18And you, as a person, you will change completely.
04:22You're gonna become a woman, a mature woman."
04:25Lima didn't exactly hide the fact that maybe she hadn't had the easiest time when it came
04:29to love.
04:30Two months after announcing she was her own partner, the Daily Mail shared some photos
04:34of Lima at the airport with some interesting flight reading.
04:37The star's choice?
04:38The self-help book Invasion of Love, The Path, by Metzine Hara.
04:41As People reported, Hara and Lima were an item until 2019.
04:46Where there's a celeb split, there are very often celeb cheating rumors, and that was
04:49no different when Lima and Jarek called it quits.
04:52Though neither has confirmed there was infidelity in their five years of marriage, the gossip
04:56mill has certainly churned up some stories.
04:58At least one website alleged that Jarek had supposedly cheated, although that was never
05:02officially proven.
05:03Plenty speculated on Twitter that there may have been some infidelity, though.
05:07One person tweeted amid all the unproven speculation,
05:09"'Oh wow, Marco Jarek is divorcing Adriana Lima after he allegedly cheated on her.
05:14What the f**k is wrong with this man?'
05:16Whatever really happened here, though, it seems like it was for the best.
05:20While Jarek has remained a little more tight-lipped on his dating life, we know Lima has moved
05:23on and found happiness with boyfriend Andre Lemers.
05:26In April 2022, the star revealed via TikTok that they are expecting a baby boy, which
05:31came after she called him her forever twin soulmate for Valentine's Day.
05:37Here's what's next!
