Miranda Kerr cuts a lonely figure as she waits for her family’s tell-all interview to air on ABC1 tonight.
The Aussie supermodel’s family has opened up on Family Confidential, revealing intimate details about Miranda’s life before and after she become one of the world’s most famous women.
In the insightful documentary, her mother Therese, father John, nanna Ann and brother Matthew plead for more time with distant Miranda after not seeing her, or her three-year-old son Flynn, in over a year.
The Gunnedah girl decided to remove her mother from Kora Organics, the skincare company Therese helped her establish, which tore a hole in their once-seamless relationship.
Miranda remains tight-lipped in New York City ahead of the premiere, even with trickles leaking out of the intimate details her family has shared about her private life.
While it seems Miranda will have to watch with the rest of us, we’re told her family has been quite candid about the supermodel cutting them out of her life, including dad John disclosing his disappointment with his daughter that her actor ex Orlando Bloom told the Kerr family about their marriage separation, instead of her.
“After what I know now, I would rather she did just marry a nobody,” he said of Miranda’s relationship with the Hollywood star.
But it’s Miranda’s mother’s teary comments about missing their daily phone calls, letting go of her daughter and yet trying to be there for her still that will perhaps hit the model hardest.
“What I have had to do is let go and allow her to be assertive and lead her own life… and I guess for any mum that’s a little bit challenging sometimes,” Therese said.
“We have been best friends for most of our life. We used to talk just about every day.
“Miranda’s life is so different now – she’s surrounded by ‘yes’ people all the time. It’s so important for me to be real, to be true, to be who she needs me to be.”
Family Confidential: The Kerrs airs tonight at 8pm on ABC1
