Family Values
Today there are as many meanings of the word “family” as there are families. Welcome to the new normal.

“For me, family is life,” says model Miranda Kerr, 27. “The decision to
start one wasn’t complex at all.” Kerr, whose stealth wedding to actor
Orlando Bloom this past July caught even the paparazzi off guard, was in
Paris shooting a Jil Sander campaign when she found out she was
pregnant. “I was wondering why I’d been so sick.” Kerr and Bloom have
opted not to be told their child’s sex. “We’re keeping it a surprise,”
she says. Though her modeling stock has risen (she’s currently fronting
campaigns for Jil Sander, Prada, and Victoria’s Secret), Kerr has no
issues with putting her professional ambitions on hold. “My career has
been wonderful, but it’s not my life. I don’t feel pressure to get back
to work.” As for the long-term future, the Aussie native has conceived a
rustic plan for domestic bliss: “My goal involves a hammock, a vegetable
patch, and a solar-powered house. And I hope to eventually get there.”
