EMBRACING A FUTURE FULL OF FUN SOPHIE ANDERTON ON MOTHERHOOD, MARRIAGE AND OVERCOMING LOSS TO FIND HAPPINESS

Sitting beneath an oak tree by a lake, wrapped in her husband’s arms, Sophie Anderton is the picture of contentment as she turns to smile at the man she calls her soulmate.

It has been two years since the model married Count Kazimierz “Kaz” Balinski-Jundzill in a romantic ceremony at their beautiful Irish country residence, Glendalough House in Co. Wicklow – an intimate family occasion she describes as “the most special day of my life”.

Like many couples, they had hoped they would welcome a child together.

But now, in this exclusive interview with HELLO!, Sophie, 46, reveals that after a traumatic incident and plenty of soul-searching, they have come to terms with the reality that it will never happen – but are also embracing the alternative and enjoying the family they already have while living life to the full.

“It’s been the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make to accept that we won’t have a child of our own,” she says. “I’ve experienced a rollercoaster of emotions over it, but Kaz has been amazing and beyond supportive as he reconciled himself to it, too. Once we accepted the fact that having a baby wouldn’t happen, it was liberating, as if the final piece of a puzzle had slotted into place.”

Sophie’s love for Kaz and the ready-made family she inherited when she married him – his children from his two previous marriages, who include 26-year-old Charlie’s Angels actress Ella Balinska, his daughter with TV chef Lorraine Pascale – are the reason why.
