Miranda Kerr breaks down during emotional interview about her mother Therese: 'I miss her'

Miranda Kerr has shown her vulnerable side while discussing the close bond she shares with her mother Therese.

The 43-year-old could barely contain her emotions as she discussed how much she missed her mother during a candid chat with marie claire Australia. 

'I'm super close with my mum and it's incredible to see her as a grandma,' said the mother of four, welling up. 

'I don't want to cry because I cry thinking about it,' she added.

'Obviously I miss her. I wish she lived around the corner.' 

Miranda shares son Flynn, 15, with ex Orlando Bloom and three other boys – Hart, eight, Myles, six, and Pierre, two – with billionaire businessman husband Evan Spiegel. 

The former Victoria's Secret model went on to admit she spends six months of the year with her parents, which her boys love, before revealing her mum is the driving force behind her work ethic.

'My mum always taught me, if you're going to do something, do it with your whole heart or don't do it at all,' she told the publication. 

'That's something that's in my brain all day, every day.'       

Miranda's confession comes after she lifted the lid on how she kicks off the day to maintain her supermodel glow. 

The Aussie star shared details of her wellness habit during an appearance on Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari. 

Miranda said her mornings begin with a drink she has consumed since she was a teenager.

'I've been drinking noni juice since I was 13. I'm 43 – [that's] 30 years!' she said.

'Noni juice is a superfood, superfruit. It originates from Tahiti, but it can grow in other parts of the world like Australia too.'

Miranda said she takes a 30ml shot every morning because it is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals – and even gives some to her youngest child.

The former Victoria's Secret model then follows it with homemade tea made from marshmallow leaf, as it is 'good for the gut lining'.

Her early morning ritual also includes coconut yoghurt with a dollop of locally–sourced honey as well as a 'bite of a banana'. 

Only after completing her wellness routine does Miranda allow herself her morning coffee.

Miranda said she avoids traditional cow's milk and instead uses coconut milk in her coffee.
