Women need to make an effort to please their man, says Kerr
SHE HAS forged a career as one of the world’s highest-paid models, but Miranda Kerr is happy to play a more traditional role at home with her billionaire husband, she has revealed.
Women “need to make a little effort” by dressing to please their men and should “empower” them to feel masculine, explained Kerr, who married Evan Spiegel, the Snapchat mogul, earlier this year.
While Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, has issued a manifesto urging women to “lean in” to their jobs, Kerr prefers to “lean back”.
“At work, I’m like, ‘We need to do this!’ and, ‘This needs to happen’. But at home, I slip into my feminine and empower Evan to be in his masculine,” she said. Pressed further, the Australian beauty, 34, said: “Just be more in my feelings. More gentle, leaning back. It’s a nice balance.”
She said: “My grandma taught me that men are visual and you need to make a little effort. So when [Evan] comes home, I make sure to have a nice dress on and the candles lit. We make time to have a nice dinner together.”
In an interview with Net-a-porter’s digital magazine, The EDIT, the Victoria’s Secret model described Spiegel – seven years her junior – as “a 50-year-old man in a young body”.
The world’s youngest self-made billionaire has inspired her to scale back the modelling and concentrate on her skincare business, Kora Organics, made from Tahitian fruit filtered through rose quartz crystals to give them “a vibration of love”.
“Evan inspired me. He said, ‘If you believe in this, put everything into it’.”
