InStyle has today revealed an Australian newsstand magazine exclusive, with Australian supermodel and entrepreneur Miranda Kerr posing for her very first newsstand magazine cover shoot and interview following the birth of her child, Flynn Bloom.
“She’s the girl next door who has done extremely well and we hope our readers love what she has to say as she opens up to InStyle following the arrival of her gorgeous son,” says Kerrie McCallum, editor, InStyle.
Miranda Kerr reveals to InStyle:
“I was working 18-hour days. Now the pace has slowed so I can spend the majority of my time with Flynn—we have a bath together every night.” Kerr is now “first a wife and a mother, and then comes work,” she explains. “When I work, it needs to be the best decision for us as a family.”
Was there pressure to “bounce back”, as some of her seemingly elastic Victoria’s Secret colleagues had done before her? Kerr considers the question. Then answers with, “He’s a big baby, 4.5 kilograms at birth, and I thought to myself, I have so much more that I want to do aside from modelling. I can live with my body not being in shape if I have a healthy son. It’s worth it.”
Might a permanent return to Oz be on the cards for Kerr? “I like to think [so]. Flynn would love it, and I had such a wonderful childhood in the country. He is going to have a diverse upbringing.”
On giving birth, Kerr says, “I’ve never been through so much pain, but I was totally present the entire time, focusing on my breath and meditating,” she says. “I kept thinking, how do women do this? But if other women have done this, I can do it, too. I was determined.
“I actually thought I was going to die at one point and left my body. I felt as if I was looking down on myself – the pain was so intense. Then he came out and we met, and it was the best thing. I think once you go through something like that, nothing else fazes you – it puts everything into perspective.” Kerr later revealed to US talk show host Conan O’Brien that she wouldn’t let Bloom leave the room while she was in labour, even making him pee in a bottle.
“Orlando was by my side the whole time,” she smiles. “I couldn’t have done it without him. Just to have his support was a really wonderful experience.”
I like how she’s just putting up with this body of hers. How in the world does she put up with not “bouncing back”!? But hey, she’s dealing with it – for her son. She’s so brave.
