Miranda Kerr and Snapchat hubby Evan Spiegel’s entire family had Covid-19 in Los Angeles

Former supermodel turned beauty mogul Miranda Kerr has revealed how the 38-year-old, her tech tycoon husband and their children suffered Covid-19 early on in the pandemic.

Miranda Kerr has that revealed she and her whole family — including her mother — caught Covid-19.

The 38-year-old said she was in Los Angeles when she started experiencing flu-like symptoms at the beginning of last year.

“It is interesting because we actually had Covid before we even knew that it was Covid,” Kerr said. “We got tested and had the antibodies but it was before the lockdown so we didn’t even know at the time that it was Covid.”

Miranda Kerr plans to keep building her company until she hands it over to her children.

Kerr and Snapchat founder husband Evan Spiegel are based in LA, where they live with their sons Myles and Hart, and her son, Flynn, from her previous marriage to actor Orlando Bloom. Her Australian-based mother, Therese, was visiting at the time to help with newborn Myles.

“My mum actually lost her taste and smell and we didn’t realise until after that we had all had it because it was definitely going around,” Kerr said.

She revealed the Kerr clan’s Covid ordeal as she told The Sunday Telegraph of her blended family situation with ex-hubby Bloom.

Since splitting in 2013, the Aussie supermodel and the British actor have remained close while going on to start new relationships.

Bloom has just had a daughter, Daisy, with pop superstar partner Katy Perry. And Kerr has her two sons with Spiegel.

Bloom and Kerr share custody of 10-year-old son Flynn.

“Orlando and I have so much love and respect for each other as human beings,” Kerr tells The Sunday Telegraph, chatting over Zoom from her Los Angeles home.

“From day one, when we decided that we weren’t going to be together anymore, we maintained our friendship and we made a commitment that would always put the interests of Flynn first. And because of that commitment, we have this relationship that has evolved into such a wonderful family based friendship. We love co-operating together and we work it out as a family.

“It is really great that he has found Katy and it is amazing that I have found Evan and I just feel very blessed because we all get along so well.

“It’s amazing. We all genuinely appreciate each other’s company.”

The two families go on holiday together and celebrate important milestones as a group. The only real complication, she said, has been that each of them have busy schedules to co-ordinate.

Proof of the close friendship came with Perry recently attending a yoga event for Kerr’s Kora Organics business. They appear on each other’s social media channels supporting whatever work project is happening at the time.

“I really just think Flynn having two happy parents, and now four happy parents, is so important as opposed to the two of us if we remained together, it is so nice to know that we are both are very happy with our partners and also happy for each other,” Kerr says.

“We just have mutual respect for each other. Orlando is a wonderful dad and Evan is an incredible dad. We all get along really well and I love Katy, she is a wonderful person and mother. I feel really grateful for that relationship because it doesn’t always go that way.”

One of our most successful models, the girl from Gunnedah, in northern NSW, has smoothly transitioned to business woman as she presides over the global business, Kora Organics.

Launched in 2009, it is a hugely successful company Kerr refers to affectionately as her fourth child.

She is especially proud of being a market leader in the ‘certified organic’ beauty sphere, as well as the brand’s commitment to sustainability.

Her latest two products are Berry Bright Vitamin C Eye Cream and Minty Mineral Hydration Mist.

“Kora is my baby girl,” she said.

“I feel like it’s my purpose; it’s definitely my passion. I started this business from that pure space of passion and wanting to create this product that I really wasn’t able to find. My intention is to keep this company and hand it down to my children.

“I just feel so blessed to have three healthy children.”

“I just want to be able to leave that legacy so I hope that the brand long outlives me and helps people in a healthy way. And not just with their skin but with their body, their mind and their spirit. For me, it is so much more about that. It’s about like uplifting people and helping people feel really good in their own skin.”

Kerr admits she doesn’t need to work but feels compelled to contribute.

Plus, she says, “I am not really one to sit around and not do anything”.

Juggling motherhood with her business is a joy for Kerr, who says the past 18 months to two years has been a time of change with home schooling and working from home.

Her business too has adapted, driven more online than traditional shopfronts.

“There was a big trend towards focusing on having fresh, healthy skin at home and less interest in makeup so to speak,” she says. “People are focusing on having clean, healthy skin and also being comfortable in their leisure attire at home as well and how they incorporate these little self care rituals at home to make them feel more balanced in their life.

Kerr says motherhood is the “greatest gift” in life.

“Little tools that have helped me along the way in my journey, like aroma therapy or crystals or positive affirmations, I’ve incorporated all of those elements into Kora from day one.”

While bricks and mortar business has been tough during the pandemic, Kerr says online business had increased 75 per cent.

She is also active on social media, having extended the brand with Kerr’s Wellness Wednesday series, covering everything from meditation and yoga to healthy cooking. She doesn’t preach but speaks from her own experience to her millions of followers.

“They feel like they have tools to really take care of themselves,” she says.

“And I give them all about that mind, body, spirit, connection and try to find things that make you feel good and healthier and simple things just like, putting your palms out into the sunshine can be super energising. It’s a free thing that people can do.”

Business and wellness aside, motherhood is the “greatest gift” in life for Kerr.

“I just feel so blessed to have three healthy children,” she says.

“I do think it’s important for them to see the importance of work ethic and see that we are both following our passions and to see that work is an important part of life. I learnt that from my parents and that is probably why I am the way I am.”

Miranda Kerr has revealed her whole family came down with Covid in early 2020

Looking ahead, Kerr does not know when she and her family will be able to return to Australia to see her parents, Therese and John, and brother, Matt.

They keep in touch daily online and via the phone.

“It has obviously been difficult since we left with the passing of my Nan and Pa,” she said of her grandparents Ann and Pete who both died earlier this year.

“We FaceTime with Mum and Dad and my brother, and we talk every day on Snapchat and the kids actually love it on the Snap FaceTime because they can put funny faces on or my dad will put a face on and make jokes with the kids.

But it’s obviously not the same. We miss them a lot and we normally would see them multiple times during the year. But now with all of these restrictions, we don’t know when we’re going to see each other next.”
