Personal life

Barros currently resides in New York. She has a tattoo on her middle lower back as well as on her ankle. She is best friends with fellow Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio. Ana has said that if she were not a model, she would like to have been a veterinarian.

"I want to go back to Brazil, get married, have lots of kids, and just be a couch potato" and that "some years from now, I want to open, in Brazil, a dermathology clinic with my sisters Maria Luiza and Patricia, and a cousin."

Barros was named #96 in FHM magazine's "100 Sexiest Women in the World" supplement in 2006.
