Miranda Kerr made her debut on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show stage in 2006 and became the first Australian to be signed as an Angel the following year.
After six years, she stepped back from the VS runway to focus on her son Flynn, whom she shares with ex-husband Orlando Bloom, and to explore other career opportunities.
“This is a natural evolution,” she shared with The Sunday Morning Herald at that time. “‘The thing is, I’ve been modeling since I was 13. I’m now entering a new phase in my life. I have felt this coming since my son was born, and after I became a mother, I realized I needed to prioritize my time.”
As Miranda expanded her businesses (including her skincare line Kora Organics) and her family—welcoming sons Hart, Myles, and Pierre with her second husband, Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel)—she expressed that she did not wish to return to the VS stage.
“They were some of the best modeling moments that I had, and I had so many great memories working with the VS team and the other models, and we had a lot of fun,” she remarked on the Not Alone podcast in 2024. “But I just felt like, personally, I wasn’t wanting to go back there because I feel like I’m a mom of four boys now. My life is just in a completely different direction.”
