She may not be as talked about in the world of racing, but in the realm of beauty, fashion, and modeling, Vandebosch has definitely got it going on. Let's learn a little bit more about Gordon's other half.

Originally born in Belgium, Ingrid Vandebosch started her modeling career by the time she was 16. It only took around a year before she was discovered by agents from Paris, which initiated her move over there. She stayed in Paris for the next seven years and worked on a variety of projects for Christian Dior perfumes. Additionally, she appeared in tons of different magazines including Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle, and Glamour. In 1990, Vandebosch won the Elite Look of the Year Award.

It was at this time that she made the big move to New York City to pursue opportunities with modeling and film. It paid off well for her because she landed movie roles in Going Greek, Taxi, and The Insider. She later became the face of a cosmetics line, Artistry. She also had her own line of lingerie as well, which saw great success. By 2008, Vandebosch even had the honor of being featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Back in 2002, Jeff and Ingrid were first introduced thanks to a mutual friend that they had, but they didn't actually start dating until just over two years later. Once they were finally together, love was in the air. By 2006, they announced their engagement and the wedding involved a private ceremony in Mexico. A year later, Ingrid gave birth to their first daughter, Ella Sofia, and the following year their son Leo Benjamin was born. They've been one happy family ever since.
