Looking at her Instagram, Elle Macpherson gives the impression that she lives a serene life of motherhood and wellness by the ocean in tropical Miami.
“The Body” still looks just as good – if not better – at 56 than when she was one of the world’s most famous supermodels in the ’80s. But behind her series of bikini selfies, arty pics of herself with sons Flynn, 22, and Cy, 17, and videos of herself enjoying WelleCo elixirs – created and sold by hers truly – lies a much more interesting tale.
Since her days making bedroom eyes at fashion magazine photographers, she’s grown into a shrewd businesswoman who takes no prisoners and hooked up with a list of rich exes.
Elle, who is in a relationship with anti-vaxxer Andrew Wakefield – who was stripped of his doctor’s licence in his native UK and is blamed for a measles outbreak in the US – has kept her latest love under wraps.
“They’re frequently seen at local organic markets and are known to associate with [President] Donald Trump when he is at his Florida home,” says a source. “In political circles, Elle is Andrew’s arm candy – but in her own world, she is extremely powerful, despite her earth-mother beliefs.”
BUSINESS SPLIT
