She has two children, 17-year-old Arpad 'Flynn' and 12-year-old Aurelius 'Cy', with a financier Arpad Busson, whom she began dating in 1996 and separated from in 2005.
Elle and Jeffrey began their relationship in 2009 and barring a six month break in 2012 have been together ever since, marrying in 2013, with the model becoming step-mother to his song Logan.
She admitted earlier this year in a frank interview on Sunrise that, just like most others, growing older has affected her confidence.

'It's one thing being 20 and gorgeous with legs up to your armpits and beautiful tight skin... and it's another to be 51,' she said.
'Finally you get to this stage and you say "I've been known to be one of the most beautiful women in the world," and felt really not confident and sure of myself.

'When I started sleeping more and relaxing a bit more in my life and looking after my nutrition... good nutrition can change everything.
'I hadn't really understood how deprived my body was.'
Th Australian-born professional poser revealed she suffered a health scare when she discovered a lump in her breast on her 49th birthday.
‘I thought I had cancer,’ she revealed, adding: 'I was away shooting Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model, so I couldn’t see my doctor and I was really panicking.
'It was four weeks before I got the biopsy results, so it was a long-drawn-out and stressful period of not knowing.
'I was lucky – it was a fibroadenoma [a benign growth of fibrous tissue], but it was a really big warning.
'I did some soul searching and realised that maybe I was taking the wrong vitamins and minerals, not eating properly and was too stressed.’
