My family will always be my main priority'

Model and actress Caprice invites OK! into her stylish home to talk about fame and why nothing beats being with her kids.

The last time we caught-up with Caprice Bourret she was halfway up a bitterly cold Serbian mountain making a Christmas film a world away from where we're sitting now on a hot September day in Ibiza.

As the summer draws to a close, the entrepreneur, model and actress has invited OK! into her incredible new home to share the results of what's been a two-year labour of love - but, more importantly, to meet her two sons Jax and Jett, who she's largely kept away from the glare of the public eye since they were born 11 years ago.

While their mum has graced more than 250 front covers of magazines during her career, she hasn't shared that side of her work with the boys since they were newborns - until now. And there's nowhere better to chat to 52-year-old Caprice than in her Palm Springsmeets-coastal-Mediterranean home, complete with its gorgeous outdoor dining area, pool, tennis and basketball courts, and home gym.

"With the last house, my husband was kind of looking after everything and then one day, I looked at the spreadsheet and the amount we spent on the running costs and said, 'No, no, honey, there's a new sheriff in town now,"" she laughs.

"It's not about being dominant or about being a 'meanie'. I've been saying it for 20 years, but I come from a very humble background and I never want to go back to that. I'm a discount buyer, a wheeler-dealer. I'm lean and mean, and I'm efficient, so I told him, "That's the end, I'm running the show now' and so we sold it.

"It wasn't servicing the family any more and it had 100 acres. Why do we need acres? We don't, it's ridiculous. I don't need to be a big shot, I don't care about being a big shot. I'm very happy to go smaller.
