Alessandra and her fiance businessman Jamie Mazur, welcomed Anja in August 2008 in the model's native Brazil.

The star said last year that she is one of the fortunate women who get to eat what they want and not put on weight.

'I've been tiny since I was four, and I eat whatever I want,' she told Women's Wear Daily. 'All that matters is that I stay healthy.'

In fact, the star recently told The Huffington Postthat her favorite breakfast is 'a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a cappuccino with extra foam.'

She also blasted some sections of the media for their attitude towards her appearance.

'If I'm two pounds heavier, I'm fat. If I'm skinnier, I'm sick. It's ridiculous,' she told the publication.

Alessandra added that she keeps herself fit through Pilates, yoga and running.
