Isabeli Fontana is one of many successful models to come out of Brazil. But few can match her meteoric career path. She began with a notorious debut in the Victoria's Secret catalog at age 16, and within 3 short years, has become a fixture in the Paris and Milan shows, a model for celebrated designers from Versace to Valentino, and cover girl for more than her share of high-profile magazines.

Isabeli, though a smash hit as teen model, hasn't let success go to her head. In fact, even though the glamorous world of fashion has opened up to her, she likes to keep her life simple and has a prudent eye on the future, planning for the moment that her modeling days come to an end.

She was married to Alvaro Jacomossi, also a rather ravishing model, but divorced in 2004. Their son, Zion, was born in 2003.

Isabeli has since married actor and model Henri Catelli (on December 10, 2005) and their son, Lucas, was born on October 23, 2006 in Sao Paulo. Fontana and Castelli are separated now and are in the process of divorcing.

And while she may have started modeling much earlier than most, Isabeli Fontana still has plenty of fuel left, and isn't likely to fade into the background anytime soon.
