Miranda Kerr was given the “second cover” for the April issue of InStyle, the first cover being Ciara. For some reason, Miranda was also given this cover without needing to really promote something immediately. I mean, the interview is clearly being done to promote her organic beauty line, Kora Organics, but she’s been promoting that for years all over the place. Why this very moment? I don’t know, it’s yet another baffling editorial choice. Another weird editorial choice? Miranda looks really pissed off at someone or something in all of these photos! She’s not someone with RBF either, she was really making some grumpy faces. Anyway, here are some highlights from her interview – it’s not only a promotion for Kora, it’s a sponcon testimonial for Snapchat, lol.
Her kids will have jobs & pay their own way: “I told Flynn that if he wants a car, he needs to start saving now,” Kerr says, explaining why her 8-year-old son (with her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom) was interested in setting up a lemonade stand. “He needs to learn the importance of working for himself because I had to do that.”
How she started Kora Organics: “I was talking to a friend in 2006 about how cool it would be to find a certified-organic skin-care range or even to create one. She said, ‘I know this organic chemist in Melbourne. Why don’t you talk to her?’ Things just steamrolled from there.” Well, sort of. It took three more years and endless prototypes to officially launch Kora, in part because Kerr was determined to meet Ecocert’s Cosmos standards, a strict set of eco-focused regulations on production and ingredients. “A lot of products out there claim to be all-natural but have only one organic ingredient. I didn’t want any of that greenwashing BS! It takes a lot of effort and money to get certified, but I thought, ‘If this is something I want for myself, why wouldn’t I offer it to everyone else?’ ”
Living organically is a family thing: Evan Spiegel has become an avid user of her Noni Glow face oil and turmeric mask, Flynn shops the local farmers market near their home in L.A.
On her son Hart, with husband Evan: “We decided as a couple to keep him private for as long as possible. The only way we send photos of him to relatives on the other side of the world is through Snapchat because it’s such a safe way to communicate.”
What else she loves about Snapchat: “The filters are so much fun — the heart eyes are my favorite. The best part is you don’t have to wear any makeup because the lens does all the work for you.”
The Snapchat testimonial is so dumb and obvious, my God. It’s also hilarious to me because it feels like… Miranda cares more about her husband’s business than he does? Maybe I’m wrong. But when even Kardashian-Jenners are opting for Instagram Stories rather than Snap, that’s a bad sign. As for what she says about Flynn needing to make money at the age of 8 – yeah, I’m all for teaching kids the value of a dollar at a young age. Teach them how to have a work ethic, teach them that mommy and daddy aren’t going to give them everything, that there’s value in earning things for themselves. But also: Flynn’s stepfather is Evan Spiegel, a silver spoon frat-boy brat whose daddy would buy him everything he ever wanted. How will that balance out?

That Snapchat plug is hilarious. That’s all I’ve got.
Came to say the same 😂 Oh and the grumpy face is a thing nowadays. Kids are promoting it all over on Insta. The new cool is not to smile and look deadly depressed. It’s a super annoying trend.
“Snapchat is a safe way to communicate” LOL. Like it’s some CIA encrypted program or something.
I like the name Flynn.
But what about the name Flynn Kerr Bloom? It sounds like a toy’s name haha
It seriously is funny. Isn’t Snapchat pretty much dying out?
As to Flynn working, I grew up in a pretty affluent area (though we were FAR from it). In high school, a LOT of the kids from “above the tracks (the way Bev Hills was “divided”) got cars. One comedian’s daughter got a car on her 16th bday, drove it to school, crashed it into a light pole and showed up with a brand new one the next day. Dean Martin’s daughter showed up in a Jag XKE on her 16th. Me… I walked or rode the bus lol.
When I got my first car (at 19), it was a dented, rusted hand-me-down from my grandfather for which I had to pay the insurance and gas. My parents also told me if I wanted to drive, to start saving. So I did. I worked from the age of 11, babysitting, then working after-school, and some summer jobs from then on. Taught me the value of saving, the accomplishment of being able to buy my own things, and the enjoyment of ownership.
I think more kids could use this today (see Lori Loughlin’s kids for example).
How she worked for everything? Except that part where you married rich men to get ahead. We’ll just pretend that didn’t happen
She had a modeling career before she married anyone didn’t she? She was well paid with VS I think. I’m thinking she had her own money to start with.
Miranda has done more than marry rich men. Let’s not forget about the “boyfriend” who bought her jewelry worth millions with laundered money.
Yeah my first thought was “eh, maybe when he’s old enough the kid can marry someone rich to buy him a car!”
I agree with CES.
I hope she does keep plugging it, I have that stock and I need girl to werk!! On another note, I was put off when the rich guy I nannied for told me he was upset with himself that his kid might worry about the cost of activities he wanted to do like all the sport camps and teams and clubs. He seemed to think it was cruel that his son understand the value of a dollar. I worried about what he was setting him up for. Not at all the way I was raised. I agree Evan is not modeling that for Flynn but at least she is and hopefully it sticks.
Sure Jan.
You know, I actually don’t doubt Miranda wants her son to know the value of a dollar. Yeah, we can all side eye her for her hustle, hopping from one rich man to another the moment one’s coin’s golden glint starts fading, but this woman wants money and she wants a nauseating lot of it, so I don’t doubt she knows the value of money (and having sfm of it).
This interview was probably done before the whole College bribery/fraud scandal broke. But this makes me wonder if the next popular narrative for celebrity parents will be how they are going to make their kids work hard and make their own way, and not get any handouts for them at all. That would be good if it were true and possible to a degree, but i wonder how popular that narrative will get and how likely it will turn out to be true.
They’ll say publicly they want their kids to work hard and not get any handouts, but privately that won’t happen at all. The spawn of rich celebs always get things handed to them. Does she really think her son isn’t going to benefit from his parent’s fame? He won’t be working at Burger King when he’s 16.
i think a lot of celebrities have that narrative but forget that by being born rich, living in a major city and having access to privilege means their kids were born on 3rd base.
i don’t *hate* what she’s saying but i think it is disingenuous to think her white, male child born into riches will ever truly understand the reality of making money on his own.
there was ways of teaching children about the value of money and how to work hard while admitting that your child has incredible privileges and will never want for anything.
Yeah I have a hard time imagining his parents doing laundry, cooking, or cleaning. This kid probably sees maids and chefs and thinks that’s “normal”. No way will this child grow up understanding the struggles of “normal” people. His first car won’t be an old Honda that’s for sure !
She comes off phony, like her Noni.
That’s funny. I read this article and Common People by Pulp plays in the background.
Hmmm looks like someone just figured out her hubby isnt as rich as she thought he was…
Flynn Bloom used to be my favorite celebrity baby. Fat cheeks, big eyes, aaaallll that pudge.
LOL! Flynn will have to buy his own car?? Her husband is a billionaire and she is a millionaire, and Flynn is gonna drive a hoopty at 16 — when his friends are riding around in high end BMWs, Audi’s or whatever? Really? Because, really?? Let me insert a giant eyeroll here.
Honestly, these kinds of interviews are ridiculously transparent. This is what rich people or celebrities say so that they seem like they are “normies” too.
“See “Normies” — my family IS JUST LIKE YOURS!! We work hard!! Now, buy my stuff. . .”
AND AND AND — Why is it that celebrities or rich people ALWAYS say that their kid has a “Lemonade stand” to make money??? STOP using this ridiculous trope to seem like your kid knows the value of a dollar. Cuz you know what “normie” kids do for money? Chores aroud the house, babysitting, yard work and when older… part-time jobs. Not a lemonade stand in site.
Lemonade stands never made sense to me. The parents are the ones who buy the stuff to make the lemonade, the cups, etc. The kids sit there and sell something they didn’t have to initially pay for. There is no good lesson learned there lol.
And how much would they make total anyway? 2 dollars? It’s just a laughable example all around.
Yes, I live in a wealthy neighborhood and every month there is a new set of kids set up with their lemonade stand. I always think it is ridiculous and laughable.
While sick I watched tons of videos of celebs showing what they cook and eat during a day. Miranda actually came off as very likable and while she cooked healthy things they did look good. Her house also looked very normal, her kitchen was actually much smaller than mine. Rich parents can show their kids the value of money and working hard.
Says the chica that married Orlando Bloom and then an billionaire – she “had to work too” LOLOLOLOLOL who is she again?
