Miranda Kerr: "It's important to make an effort in your relationship, for each other." VIDEO

Miranda Kerr recently gave an interview with Net-a-Porter's The Edit offering an insight into her  marriage with Evan Spiegel.

"My grandma taught me that men are visual and you need to make a little effort," she told the reporter, "with a wink".

"So when [Evan] comes home, I make sure to have a nice dress on and the candles lit. We make time to have a nice dinner together."

"It's all about balance," Miranda explains. "At work, I'm like, 'We need to do this!' and, 'This needs to happen!' But at home, I slip into my feminine side and empower Evan to be in his masculine."

The "slipping into her feminine" part to Miranda means: "Just be more in my feelings. More gentle, leaning back. It's a nice balance."

And overnight Miranda has further elaborated:

On US show 'TODAY' she shared photos from her wedding to Evan and talked about the heart-shaped crystal she carries with her.

And talks about how

"Well to be honest, I feel it's important to make an effort in your relationship, for each other."

Miranda Kerr: Wedding Day PHOTOS

In beautiful celeb wedding dress news and pics just in, the official Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel wedding day photos are here.

And she looks DIVINE.

She's also released a video wedding and you guys, it's so NICE (can you tell we love a good celeb wedding?!)

So, here we are, the video via Vogue US, and here is their caption describing the clip:

This May, Miranda Kerr married Evan Spiegel in the backyard of their Brentwood, California, home—but not before her wedding dress fitting with Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri was captured exclusively for Vogue. Here, the model reveals the inspiration behind her one-of-a-kind gown and a glimpse at how her fairy-tale fashion moment came together.

Says Vogue:

On a cool May morning, just as a cloak of fog began to lift off the western hills of Los Angeles, Miranda Kerr ran downstairs and put a chicken in the oven.

If it seems odd that Kerr should be making dinner on her wedding day, consider the surprisingly intimate scale of the nuptials themselves: a cozy affair at home with 45 or so friends and family for one of the world’s most recognizable models and her fiancé, Evan Spiegel, whose company, Snapchat, boasts close to 200 million daily users. But there was no need to pity this busy bride, whose apron would soon be traded for Dior Haute Couture. She was cooking only for her husband-to-be (Kerr’s slow-roasted chicken scented with turmeric and lemon is among Spiegel’s favorite dishes), while the caterer replicated her menu for the rest of the assembled guests.

We think Miranda looks divine!

This is the second wedding for Miranda, and the first for Evan, who is the founder of Snapchat. Miranda has a son named Flynn with her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom.

Miranda is 34, and Evan, 26, and they became engaged last July and got married two month ago, in late May in a small ceremony in the garden of their $16 million Brentwood mansion.

There was no bridal party except Miranda's six-year-old son, who was a ring-bearer.

Miranda sang 'You’re Still The One', a hit recorded by Shania Twain, in footage obtained by gossip and news site TMZ. 

The couple has a personal combined value of more than $6.7 billion. They met in 2014 at a New York dinner party and started dating a year later.

Christie Brinkley: 63 year old swimsuit body PHOTO, Sports Illustrated

Christie Brinkley is making this year's 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit' issue a family affair - alongside her two daughters.

The 63 year old - uh, yup that's her age - is a supermodel of the ages, for all time, and is returning to the pages, and here is a sneak peek.

Here is Christie with her daughters Alexa Ray Joel (dad is Billy Joel), and Sailor Brinkley Cook.

"Yes! I am excited to announce that I am back in @si_swimsuit... I figured with my gorgeous daughters @alexarayjoel and @sailorbrinkleycook by my side, whose going to be looking at me!" Christie wrote on Instagram. "Oh and my kids think I walk on water, so let's not mention the apple box concealed just under the surface."

She added, "Thank you Sports Illustrated for sending the powerful message that good things come in packages of every size and we do not come with an expiration date!"

Sailor added:

"I've had issues with my body image since before I can even remember. I grew up not loving how I looked and felt held back because of it," Sailor shared on Instagram. "My body and I have been through it all. But recently I have been liberated. I am healthy, I treat myself well, and for that I'm happy."

Sailor added: "This is more than a magazine to me and always has been. As a growing young woman, SI showed me all bodies are different and all bodies are worthy of celebrating. Thank you thank you @si_swimsuit for celebrating my beautiful mama, my beautiful sister, I, and ALL WOMEN!! How lucky am i?!"

As for Alexa Ray, who is new to modeling, the singer/songwriter excitedly added:

"It was definitely entertaining — a little bit of a reality TV moment," she told Sports Illustrated. "We all have our own style. And Sailor is kind of the young new little, perfect little, sporty little model. My mom is almost, I tease her, that she's ADD in terms of how much energy she has. She literally can't stop moving. And I'm still new at this and I was just trying to maintain my focus."
