Some of the world's most beautiful models, including Christie Brinkley, Gisele Bundchen, and Miranda Kerr, are also super moms.
This Mother’s Day may be unlike any other for Heidi Klum and her four children, daughters Leni, 8, and Lou, 2, and sons Henry, 6, and Johan, 5. The “Project Runway” host tells omg! that she plans to take them to a Monster Truck show. “It should be very easy to get tickets because no one will do that,” laughs Klum, who split from husband Seal in January. “Everyone will be brunching away somewhere looking fabulous in their Sunday outfits and we will be at the Monster Trucks.”
Christie Brinkley has a child from each of her last three marriages, beginning with 26-year-old singer Alexa Ray Joel (with Billy Joel), 16-year-old son Jack (with real estate developer Richard Taubman), and daughter Sailor, 13, with architect Peter Cook. The Cover Girl model has been battling her most recent ex for years over the custody of Jack, whom Cook adopted, and Sailor. In March, she gave a tearful interview on “Today” saying she wanted the fighting to stop for the sake of the kids. “I quietly asked the judge, 'please make this stop, protect my right to peace' … I just wanted peace for my family.”
After being stepmom to husband Tom Brady’s son Jack with Bridget Moynahan, Gisele Bundchen had one of her own in December 2009, son Benjamin. The Brazilian beauty has been very outspoken about her parenting practices, especially breastfeeding, and has taken heat for imparting her views on others. “I think there should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2010, which drew quite a bit of criticism.
The apple didn’t fall very far from the tree for Cindy Crawford when it comes to her two beautiful children, son Presley, 12, and daughter Kaia, 10. Although Kaia followed in her mother’s footsteps when she posed for Versace’s kids line, Crawford decided to pulled the plug on her daughter’s career until she’s 17 – but then let her star in a JCPenney Mother’s Day ad campaign with her.
Victoria’s Secret stunner Miranda Kerr snapped back into shape in record time after delivering her now 16-month-old son Flynn (his dad is Orlando Bloom). Her secret? Breastfeeding. "When I am at work, I am pumping,” she said last year. “I feel like a milk maid, but it is worth it."
“Fashion Star” host Elle Macpherson is also a single mom. She has two sons with her ex-fiance, French financier Arpad Busson, named Arpad Flynn Alexander, 14, and Aurelius Cy Andrea, 9. The boys are about to get a younger half-sibling: their father is expecting his first child with Uma Thurman.
It’s not very often that we see Kate Moss’ 9-year-old daughter with ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack, Lila Grace, but the little girl was by her famous mother’s side last July when she wed rocker Jamie Hince in England. Although she has modeling in her genes, Lila Grace is not a fan of makeup. "I always take my makeup off, because otherwise my daughter will come in and say, 'Mummy, tut-tut,'” Moss said last year. “She doesn't like it. She likes the fresh-faced, natural mummy, when I've got my hair in a bun and no make-up on… She's quite prudish.”
Linda Evangelista has been back in the news because she sued the father of her 5-year-old son Augustin James, Salma Hayek’s husband Henri-Francois Pinault, for a jaw-dropping $46,000-a-month in child support. After four days of testimony in a New York City court, the exes settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio is a new mother again after giving birth to her second child, a son named Noah Phoenix, with businessman Jamie Mazur on May 7. The baby joined big sister Anja, 3. “I have wanted a boy for a long time,” Ambrosio said last month. “It’s absolutely perfect. It’s the best news.
Ever since Christy Turlington became a mom (she has a daughter Grace, 8, and son Finn, 6, with husband Ed Burns), she has devoted herself to charities that benefit those who are underprivileged, like Every Mother Counts, which she founded herself.
