Miranda Kerr has revealed she seriously considered returning to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show but ultimately turned down the opportunity after feeling overwhelming anxiety about walking the runway in her underwear as a 43-year-old mother of four.
Miranda Kerr was too “anxious” to return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway this year.
The 43-year-old model gained her wings in 2007 as one of the Victoria’s Secret Angels and has walked the runway six times before, most recently in 2012.
However, being a mother of four – to sons Flynn, 15, Hart, seven, Myles, six, and two-year-old Pierre – she admits the thought of strutting in her underwear for the world to see filled her with fear.
Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, she said: “I was really, seriously considering it.
“I got really excited, but then I got kind of anxious… I was meditating and fell into how I’m actually going to feel when I’m up there in my underwear.”
Miranda knew it was the right decision to turn down the invite when the “knot” in her stomach disappeared when she made her choice.
She went on: “Everyone’s in their underwear.
“I’m 43. I have four boys. I got this knot in my stomach and as much as I try to meditate and ease it, it was still there. The only way I could resolve that is to say, ‘You’re not going to do the show.’ How do you feel now?”
Miranda recently revealed she’s been battling a painful health condition in secret for years.
The brunette beauty was diagnosed with proctitis – which causes uncomfortable bowel issues – and it means she now has to be “really specific” about what she eats so she’s changed her diet to cut out foods such as eggs which could trigger inflammation.
She told Australia’s Stellar magazine: “This is what I do for me because I’ve had my blood taken and I’ve had issues for, oh my goodness. I had proctitis. It’s an inflammatory bowel thing, so I have to be really specific about what I eat.
“Certain things inflame me. That doesn’t mean it inflames everyone. For instance, my kids eat eggs. That’s amazing, right?”
Miranda went on to explain she’s started eating meats such as bison and venison because they don’t cause her problems.
