The 31-year old supermodel is back in New York City, but when she visited her home in Australia, she always makes it a point to spend time with her family, and of course her son, Flynn.
In the interview in the Sydney Morning Herald, Miranda says, "Seeing my family is my favourite part of coming home to Australia. I also really miss the Australian mentality; it's a much more laidback lifestyle. And I miss the Australian accent, so it's really refreshing to come home and hear people say, "Oh g'day mate."
She also talked about keeping herself grounded by just being grateful for her success and continuing to work hard. News like being named Forbes magazine's second-highest-paid model in the world does not get into her head.
"I don't really read that stuff. I work hard and I'm very grateful. I feel very blessed to have had the career that I've had. I never expected it to last this long and it has been a wonderful evolution," she says. "I'm really proud of the achievements, especially my [KORA Organics] skincare line and my book Empower Yourself. It's heart-warming to see young women come up and tell me that I've inspired them to lead a healthier life and to believe in themselves. Those stories are very touching and make me feel like it's all worthwhile."
The Victoria's Secret Angel also shared her secret for being able to raise her son with former husband, Orland Bloom, even while balancing her careers as supermodel and businesswoman. "My grandmother taught me the importance of routine, because she had four children and had many grandchildren. She said that it's important for children to have a routine and structure [so] that they feel comfortable and safe. So I try to do that as much as I can. With [my son] Flynn, if I go away for a day or two, he'll stay in his routine and have that structure and then if I go somewhere for over 10 days - like for instance when I was here in Australia - I bring him and then we have our routine here in Australia.
With her busy schedule, does this Australian beauty have time for her love life? The rumor mill has been busy with news that Miranda is in fact dating her friend, the businessman James Packer. But the supermodel is quick to dismiss this. "We've been friend for years. [Rumours] happen all the time with me, it happens to Orlando [too]. We understand it. As long as we both know [the truth], then it doesn't really matter what people think. People can speculate as much as they like"
As for her ideal man, Kerr says the most important thing is to have a good heart. "I honestly feel like a genuine heart is important. That's what I find the most attractive."
