Supermodel Elle Macpherson has reportedly separated from her billionaire husband Jeff Soffer.

The Australian-born model and actress, 53, has moved out of the £20 million Miami mansion she shared with Soffer, a property developer, and her two teenage sons from a previous relationship, according to the New York Post’s Page Six.

“Elle and Jeff are definitely over,” a source told the Post. Representatives of the couple were unavailable for comment last night.

The pair married in Fiji in 2013 after a tumultuous on-off romance during which they separated for eight months in 2012 but reunited after Mr Soffer survived a helicopter crash in which his best friend, Lance Valdez, died.

Macpherson’s children, Flynn and Aurelius Cy, are from her relationship with London-based hedge fund boss Arpad Busson. She was also previously married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon.

The model is said to be looking for a house in Miami for herself and her children. “She has left their house at Indian Creek in Miami with her kids, and is looking for her own house in Miami,” the insider told the Post. “He has been linked to some other women, but insists they are just friends.”

Born in New South Wales, Macpherson rose to fame in the Eighties and appeared on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover a record five times.

Nicknamed “The Body”, she was the host and executive producer of Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model from 2010 to 2013 and has appeared in films including Batman And Robin and The Mirror Has Two Faces. Mr Soffer is the son of Donald Soffer, a Florida real estate developer worth £3.3 billion.
