With a great guy who earned her the nickname The Body more than thirty years ago, Elle MacPherson turns 60 this Friday and continues to make heads turn in her wake. The Australian supermodel, who reigned in the world of tops in the eighties and nineties, has joined forces with time and has not lost one bit of her privileged physique.
She enters her sixties as a successful businesswoman, with two grown children, a new love and getting back on the catwalk. It was last March 4 at the Melbourne Fashion Festival. After 16 years she was walking again to support Australian designers.
She was born Eleanor Nancy Gow on March 29, 1964 in Sydney. She grew up surrounded by nature and playing sports. As a teenager she was a good sprinter and her physique was already spectacular: she was 1.83 and weighed 61 kilos. Another trait that has accompanied her since then is the size of her feet: she wears a size 44.
His parents separated and his mother remarried. She adopted the surname MacPherson from her stepfather. When he finished high school he enrolled at the University of Sydney to study Law. At 18 he went on vacation to Aspen (United States) with the idea of skiing and enjoying the snow. That trip changed his life.
A talent scout from the Click modeling agency set his sights on her and bet that this young woman with a statuesque body would stand out on the catwalks. Elle left Australia and settled in New York. She soon became one of the best top models of the moment.
From 1986 to 1994, nine consecutive years, she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, a publication that has catapulted the careers of dozens of renowned models for more than 50 years thanks to its annual swimsuit special. It was in 1986 when Time magazine named it The Body.
Elle has been married twice and engaged once. Very young, at 21 years old, she married fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon, creative director of Elle magazine and twenty years older than her; They divorced four years later. Although she did not go through the altar, she spent nine years with the Swiss investor Arpad Busson, from 1996 to 2005, father of her two children, Arpad Flynn (26) and Aurelius Cy Andrea (21).
She remarried businessman Jeffrey Soffer in 2013, but they divorced four years later. She is currently in a relationship, which began at the end of 2022, with musician Doyle Bramhall II, known for collaborating with Eric Clapton and Roger Waters, and who was boyfriend for seven years with actress Renée Zellweger, from whom he separated in 2019.
Business also smiles at him. She is the co-founder of a million-dollar company based on a philosophy of well-being and mental balance, WelleCo, which markets dietary supplements made with 100% natural products.
To stay in shape, strictly follow a routine full of good habits and sports. He doesn't taste sugar, wheat or animal products. Their diet is based on vegetables, legumes and fruits. In addition, he tries to rest as much as he can and boasts of being in bed before nine at night.
There is no place in his life for alcohol or tobacco. He confesses that, every morning, after meditating for half an hour before getting out of bed, instead of the two espressos he had before to speed up his metabolism, he usually drinks a glass of warm water with lemon juice and a few grains of pepper in it. fasting
