'It's something that's a choice and I have different tools, like meditation, even prayer - my grandmother taught me to pray when I was young - and just finding that inner peace.'

'Well, we are very good,' she said. 'We speak every day. We're really close, we're going to be a family for ever and we really do love one each other.
Adding: 'We have genuine love and respect for each other. We're very connected and I feel grateful for that.
'We created something beautiful together and we both remind ourselves how lucky we are to have that. And yeah, it's good. He's a great dad. I'm lucky.'

always room for improvement. I like to get constructive criticism and I love when people are honest.'
Miranda is arguably most proud of her little boy and she tells the magazine: 'He has so much love around him. That's why he feels he can express himself and be free.
'All he knows in the world is love. So cheeky and charming already. You notice his little British accent? Like his dad.'
Miranda attributed her decision to leave Victoria's Secret on a need to travel less so she can be around for Flynn. She said: 'It was a big chunk of time I couldn't commit to because I'm a mother. I used to be in two different countries every single week.
'I'm very much a people pleaser at heart - I feel that if everyone else is happy, then I'm happy - but I'm learning the power of saying no and putting my foot down.'
