After two decades in fashion’s glare, MIRANDA KERR is following her heart into a new, more focused phase, in which family — her “baby” beauty brand, Kora Organics, included — comes first. She talks candidly with KELLIE HUSH about heartache, renewal and the trick to a happy home life.
SUPERMODEL, business mogul, billionaire’s wife … you’d assume Miranda Kerr’s Sunday afternoon would be a little less ‘normal’ than everyone else’s. In her perfect feng-shuied Malibu house with its pool and dizzying ocean views, she’d be busy in the kitchen whipping up organic delicacies for her techtitan husband’s lunch, gliding around dressed in some celestial outfit, makeup-free, her skin luminous. Right? But as the 34-year-old relates last week’s manic schedule over the phone, any preconceived notions of perfection fly out of the window. This new life phase she’s moved into is bliss, but nevertheless bursting at the seams, the juggle — refreshingly — as messy as it is for the rest of us.
KELLIE HUSH: How’s your Sunday playing out, Miranda?
MIRANDA KERR: It was overcast here in Malibu this morning, but it’s beautiful here now. Flynn [Kerr’s six-year-old son with her former husband, Orlando Bloom] and I have been playing a card game he loves called Spot It!. I just love hanging out with him. We’ve just bought a new puppy who is so cute — a little pomeranian called Edwin. Like Edwin Land, who was the Polaroid guy. He’s adorable but very naughty and constantly chasing our other dog, Teddy, who is so much more calm and always by my side. She’s very sweet.
KH: So how is married life four months in? [Kerr wed 27-year-old Snapchat creator and Snap Inc. CEO Evan Spiegel in the backyard of their Brentwood, LA, home in May.]
