London, Mar 24 : Emma Heming, who tied the knot with Hollywood actor Bruce Willis at the weekend, has been a model for sexy lingerie chain Victoria''s Secret for several years.

She currently features in a Top 100 list of the world''s hottest women, reports the Sun.

The `Die Hard' hero met Heming through mutual friends at the start of January 2008 and the pair began dating.

Heming - born in Malta but brought up in London - was first spotted in the actor's arm going to dinner with fellow A-lister Robert De Niro.

She previously experienced fame dating billionaire F1 racing boss Flavio Briatore in 2000, who was 50 at the time - 29 years her senior.

The babe was also said to have been out with ER hunk John Stamos, best-known to fans as Dr Tony Gates.

A big money modelling deal with La Senza followed, but it came after years of work on the catwalk.

Heming began life as a pin-up in her twenties and soon landed a string of jobs with undie chain Victoria''s Secret.

She was a popular girl and appeared in many of the chain''s saucy catalogues showing off revealing outfits.

Next she tried her hand at acting with a number of small movie roles and minor TV parts.

The high point came when she landed a part in HBO''s TV series `Entourage' but it was limited to a one-episode stint as a girl in the background. (ANI)
