Elle Macpherson opens up her family album: Supermodel, 57, shares never-before-seen photos of her sons Flynn, 23, and Cy, 18, as they both graduate
Elle Macpherson took a trip down memory lane on Wednesday as she celebrated her sons, Flynn, 23, and Cy, 18, graduating from college and high school respectively.
The supermodel, 57, shared a gallery of never-before-seen photos on Instagram of her boys, alongside a gushing caption about their journey into adulthood.
‘As we settle into summer 2021, I can’t believe these two have graduated. One from college (2020) and one from high school,’ the proud mother wrote.

‘Where did the time go? You boys are a credit to yourselves, and your dad and I are so in awe of the men you have become,’ she continued.

The beautiful photos were captured by fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon, 76, to whom Elle was married from 1986 to 1989.
Elle has previously said she decided to prioritise her family over her modelling career when she became a mother.
‘I was 35 when I had my first [Flynn] and 41 when I had Cy, so I came to children a little later in life, but I made sure they were going to be the priority,’ she said in 2019.

‘I used to travel a lot and I’d go through that thing that [working] mothers go through,’ she added.
‘I would always tell them, “Mum loves what she does and I hope in life you find something you love to do so that work doesn’t feel like work and you go off and do your thing and while I’m off doing my thing, how cool for you guys to have that time without your helicopter, control-freak mother around.”‘
Elle also said she was ‘moved’ to read that one of her sons had said in an interview she made them feel like they were her ‘priority’ growing up.
