ELLE MACPHERSON

PICTURED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE BAHAMAS RETREAT SHE SHARES WITH PARTNER ARKI AND THEIR TODDLER SON FLYNNELLE MACPHERSON
Elle Macpherson looks a picture of contentment as she soaks up the tropical sun and builds sandcastles with her two-year-old son Arpad Flynn Busson at her Bahamas retreat. “This is the first house we’ve ever decorated together. We’ve tried to make it comfortable as well as elegant and, as we both like Anglo-Indian furniture, we’ve based the decor around that,” says the model who, not for nothing is known as ‘The Body.’

For nearly two decades she’s survived the vagaries of the modelling world and gone on to forge a highly successful career as an actress. The last year marks some of her most exciting career milestones to date, with appearances in the hit TV show Friends (which UK viewers can catch in the upcoming series), and the role of co-host for both Sky’s Oscar coverage and the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo. She’s also just finished filming a top-secret mini-series in Vancouver, Canada.

Yet the 37-year-old supermodel still manages to balance a busy work life with a fulfilling and loving relationship with her partner of five years French financier Arpad ‘Arki’ Busson, 37, and their young son Flynn. “I’m very lucky,” she says. “I have a wonderful partner and beautiful son - the two most important people in my life. While I enjoy my work very much, I’m very careful about what I do and always make sure it’s not too disruptive to my home life.

“I’m definitely ready to have more children because I don’t want Flynn to be an only child for too long. Whenever that happens, it will be the right time.”
