CELEBRITY WELLBEING C I totally welcome ageing...
APRICE BOURRET is something of a chameleon. The former Vogue and Sports Illustrated model and party girl, was perhaps best known for her hectic lifestyle and romantic hook-ups during the Nineties, when she dated everyone from rock star, Fred Durst, to footballer Tony Adams, and cricketer Kevin Pietersen.
Now, at 45, the TV personality is in a much more settled groove.
Between running her own lingerie and bedding business, By Caprice, and tackling Channel 4’s The Jump, the London-based, model and entrepreneur also has two toddlers, Jax and Jett, both aged three, with long-term partner Ty Comfort. Here are her hard-won life lessons... “RUNNING after two three-yearolds really helps, and being a mom and owning my own business.
“If the boys get sick at night or wake up because they want to play, sleep doesn’t come into the equation most of the time, so I have to really watch what I eat. I eat very healthily and exercise.
“I do a boot camp, which is quite aggressive, but very sporadic, so if I have time, I’ll go to an exercise class.
“Sometimes I’ll do three in a week or I won’t go for a month, so it’s all dependent on life.”
“At first I was absolutely terrified – the picture in my mind was much smaller than what it is – (the ski jump is) gargantuan!
“When I first saw it, I was hyperventilating and now I’ve done it so many times I’m OK with it, but the skeleton is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done in my life. I was literally crying with fear before I did it.” “MARRIAGE is not really that important to me. I’m not insecure about our relationship and I don’t need a piece of paper to validate it.” “I DIDN’T compromise, waited for the right man, and got two kids. He is my perfect soulmate. He’s amazing, so I’m glad I didn’t compromise and I waited for the right person, because God knows I kissed a lot of frogs before I got to Ty.” “I’M DIFFERENT from when I was younger. Now I’m a mum, a nurturer, a bit of a worrier and still very ambitious, but ambitious for different reasons because I want to get everything right for my children.
“I love working and making money; that has never changed. I’m a kind person, but I do have a tough streak. I’m a survivor.
“I’m a really happy person, the glass if always half full for me. My whole life is my children now.” Caprice, left, says she “kissed a lot of frogs” before she got to her partner and father of her two children, Ty Comfort A RECENT UK study found taking a daily dose of sunshine Vitamin D could prevent more than three million of us getting a cold each year.
