Elle Macpherson, the iconic supermodel known as 'The Body', has declared that her sixties are her most vibrant decade yet. In an exclusive interview with HELLO!, the 62-year-old said: 'I've never felt more free and alive than I do now.'
Macpherson, who rose to fame in the 1980s after moving from Australia to New York, graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue a record five times. Reflecting on her nickname, she said: 'Being in my sixties has been a transition from being “The Body” to embodying something far more meaningful, with greater purpose.'
The mother of two sons, Flynn, 27, and Cy, 22, described motherhood as her greatest achievement. 'Having my children is my greatest achievement,' she said. 'They remind me of what’s important.' She now lives in Miami, which she says reminds her of Australia: 'It’s full summer now and the days are long and hot and humid.'
Macpherson was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 and chose a holistic approach to treatment, including naturopathy and osteopathy. She has since been given the all-clear. The entrepreneur, who founded supplement brand WelleCo in 2014, is now dating musician Doyle Bramhall II.
She credits meditation with keeping her grounded: 'Balance takes stillness – you can’t see your reflection in running water. I take time to meditate every day, so that my purpose and priorities become clear.'
