Jessica Gomes is an Australian model of Singaporean and Portuguese heritage who appeared in the 2008 & 2009 Swimsuit issue of the United States–published magazine Sports Illustrated.
Jessica was born in Perth, the baby of a family that includes two older sisters, an older brother, a Portuguese father, and a Singaporean mother.
When she's not walking the catwalks, Jessica enjoys interior design, yoga, dancing, painting, gymnastics, playing tennis, squash, surfing, swimming, and boxing.
She is one of the perfect examples of what we know as Eurasian.
Some excerpts from her Sports Illustrated interview.
If I didn't have any responsibilities for a week, I would go to ...
I would get on a plane and go to India. No [laughs], I don't know. I'd probably get on a plane and go see my family in Portugual.

The one thing I hate for people to know about me is that I ...
I'm a private person. Nobody's perfect, but I hate it when people talk about my private life, I mean, that's in general. Or if you embarrassed yourself and people bring that up again, that moment that you embarrassed yourself, I hate that.
An athlete I have a secret crush on is ...
I did have a big crush on Cristiano Ronaldo, but for an athlete he's a bit of a [jerk]. My father's from Portugal, so my father's a soccer fiend and we went to Portugal for the European Cup in 2004 and he was really kind of cute. Out of all the sports, I like soccer players. Right now I think I like Nuno Gomes. He has the same last name as me. Yeah, Nuno Gomes, he's cute. I'm definitely into the Portuguese soccer players [laughs].
How about an entertainer?
I really have a secret crush on Johnny Depp. He's a great, great actor. He's a sexy guy without even trying. I think he's just got this coolness. He seems really cool and down-to-earth, but he's so sexy and he's got that whole package. He's just so talented. He's just probably the coolest guy at the moment. He's got really great taste. Yeah, I love his movies. I think he's a really great, great actor, and really good at what he does, yet really humble and creative.
My personal hero is ...
My father is probably my hero. He's an amazing father. He immigrated to Australia when he was 21. He traveled around the whole world, met my mother, an Asian woman. In Portugal, bringing home an Asian woman, and vice versa with my parents, is a big deal. My parents are still together now, after 36 years. My parents are heroes to me, both my mom and my father. I think that they've done a really good job and I've only started appreciating that since moving to New York. I'm lucky that I come from such a loving, normal background and my parents are still together because I think it's not nice when you come from a broken family. That's one thing that I really look up to in my parents. Because it's tough!

How do you feel about environmental issues such as global warming or pollution?
Shoot, this is coming after me talking about buying a fur coat. Especially in America, I think that we really do need to start recycling and saving our trees because the air right now is so polluted. I think we need to save as many trees as we can and really cut down on plastics and paper. We all need to do a little bit extra and not turn a blind eye to all these things that we're wasting. I remember I went to the grocery store the other day and I bought a muffin or something, and it came wrapped in, literally, 10 pieces of paper and I was like, "I don't need this much paper!"
