Emma Heming, who tied the knot with Hollywood actor Bruce Willis yesterday week, has been a model for glamorous 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, which carried a sizzling photo of her.

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 on 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.

She 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.
