While our celebrity news has been taken up with the arrival of little bundles of joy in recent times, the latest trending story involves a separation.
According to reports today, supermodel Elle MacPherson and her billionaire husband, Jeffrey Soffer, have called time on their marriage.
A source confirmed the news to Page Six, saying: “Elle and Jeff are definitely over. She has left their house at Indian Creek in Miami with her kids, and is looking for her own house in Miami.
“He has been linked to some other women, but insists they are just friends.”
The Australian model had an on-off relationship with Soffer before the pair made it official in 2013, tying the knot at a private ceremony in Fiji that summer.
The pair would have celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary this year.
This was Elle’s second marriage – she wed photographer Gilles Bensimon in 1986, but the pair parted three years later.
The model – nicknamed ‘The Body’ – is mother to 19-year-old Flynn, and 14-year-old Aurelius; her sons with former partner and financier Arpad Busson.
While Elle has remained tight-lipped on the subject of her marriage, it seems as though she is focusing on her family at the moment. She took to Instagram last weekend to share a gorgeous photo from her youngest son’s graduation.
Elle has always spoken openly about her approach to motherhood, previously admitting that she is strict and ‘pro-discipline’.
The 53-year-old once revealed that she confiscates any gifts given to her sons unless they immediately thank the gift-giver.
“If you haven’t written a note within 24 hours, the gift is confiscated,” she said, explaining that the item is then given to charity.
Her strict approach doesn’t stop there, though – she is also very mindful about screentime.
“We have a ‘no electronics during the week’ policy. No computer games, no television,” she continued.
Neither Elle nor Jeffrey have addressed the rumours, but we imagine that they would prefer privacy at this time.
