Miranda Kerr is opening up about life as a mom of four with a house full of boys.
Kerr, 43, shared how she’s raising her sons while chatting with Jess Rowe during a Wednesday, September 23, episode of her “Big Talk Show” podcast.
“We feel that we’ve been very fortunate in our lives and we believe that when you’re in a position to help, you should. We try to teach that at home with our boys,” Kerr said of her recent multi-million dollar donation to the Undue Medical Debut to erase $550 million of medical bills for 261,000 Californians. (The model shares son Flynn, 15, with ex Orlando Bloom and sons Hart, 8, Myles, 6, and Pierre, 2, with her husband, Evan Spiegel.)
She continued, “We try to encourage them to think of others. Whether that’s a friend at school or someone in the community, just making someone feel seen.”
Kerr went on to say that she’s raising her boys to grow up with a “genuine desire to help others.”
She also gave an inside look at their family life, sharing that at dinner time they talk about “the rose, the thorn, [and] their bud” of the day. As for her rose, the Victoria’s Secret Angel gushed that she feels “very blessed” to have four healthy children, which keeps her “very busy.”
“It’s very busy because I have the full spectrum of age from 2, 6, 8 and 15,” she explained. “Having a 2 year old whilst having a teenager and then having the 6 and 8 year old, 95 percent of the time my 6 and 8 year old are a built-in play date so that’s pretty fun. Five percent of the time, the little 6 year old will have my other one in a headlock.”
She added, “Boys can be very physical. They want to rough and tumble. They all have something so different to contribute.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Kerr revealed the advice her therapist gives her to ensure that she feels like she has enough one-on-one time with her kids, recommending 20 minutes with each and to “follow their lead” with how to spend the time.
Kerr also shared that other than Flynn, her kids don’t know much about her successful modeling career.
Kerr and Spiegel, 36, tied the knot in 2017. She was previously married to Bloom, 49, from 2010 until 2013.
