Ida Ljungqvist is the ultimate dream girl to many. Her goddess-y looks put her on a pedestal within the Playboy models. Her undeniably beautiful and seductive face is a national treasure to Tanzania. And her hotness is a gift to the rest of the world.
Oh, who wouldn’t be captivated with that beauty? Right now, while writing this, I can’t help but think of how lucky is the guy she shared a bed with… So f*ckin’ damn lucky.
Who is Ida Ljungqvist?
Ida is a Tanzanian-Swedish model who has the distinction of being the first woman born in Africa to ever be chosen as a Playboy Playmate. She first became a Playmate for March 2008 then went on to become the 50th Playmate of the year (2009). Also in 2009, Ida co-hosted the Playboy New Year’s Eve Party in Miami, Florida. Ida has also appeared as herself on the TV shows “The Girls Next Door” and “Last Call With Carson Daily.” Moreover, she has also been featured in a couple of “Playboy” videos.
Ida Ljungqvist is also the first Playmate of the Year to publicly dedicate her title to philanthropic work through non-profit charities and organizations.
“My sexiest quality is that I have a very adventurous spirit. I am willing to try anything at least once.”
Her Early Life
Ida Ljungqvist was born on September 27, 1981, in Tanzania to a Swedish father and Tanzanian mother. Because her father works for UNICEF, Ida has lived in a dozen different countries and primarily grew up in East Africa and Southeast Asia. She speaks English, Swedish, and Swahili and has a degree in fashion design and marketing.
Career Journey
Ida was discovered by 2007 Playboy Playmate of the Year, actress, and television host, Sara Jean Underwood while she was working as a sales specialist in a Bebe clothing store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California. Playboy had no doubt in recognizing her potential. Ida was initially stunned by the offer but being the high spirited, open minded, and adventure loving girl that she is, she plunged in to grab the opportunity and the rest, as we say, is hot history.
Hot Curiosities
In December 2007, Idat married Joshua R. Lang. After 5 years together, the couple filed for divorce in September 2008. In November of the same year, MSNBC reported a custody struggle between them over their pet Chihuahua.
In 2012, it came to shore that Ida was dating American glamour model and fellow Playboy Playmate Kristina Shannon. The two first met in 2008 when Shannon was still dating Hugh Hefner.
Since being named Playmate of the Year, Ida has worked with Empowerment Works, a non-profit, global sustainability think-tank. She deals with fundraising and spreading public awareness about the organization.
