Miranda Kerr Reveals Son Flynn, 15, Finds the 'Incredible Tool' of Meditation 'Really Grounding and Helpful' (Exclusive)

Miranda Kerr shares how her meditation practice has influenced her 15-year-old son Flynn’s daily routine

NEED TO KNOW

• She explains that her children’s interest in meditation grew from watching her prioritize it in her own life

• The boy mom of four says she hopes meditation becomes a lifelong tool for her kids to use when needed

Miranda Kerr's healthy lifestyle habits are rubbing off on her kids.

While chatting exclusively with PEOPLE at the Living Beauty Cancer Foundation's 2026 Annual Spring Luncheon on Wednesday, April 29, the model and entrepreneur, 43, revealed that meditation practices play a big role in her overall healthy lifestyle. Kerr, who's amom of four boys, shares that her love for the "incredible tool" has rubbed off on her 15-year-old son, Flynn.

"Meditation for me has been such an incredible tool, and I learned when I was 17 how to meditate, and I've been more religious about it probably in the last year than ever," she tells PEOPLE. "I don't have the luxury of having 20 minutes twice a day, but I do have the luxury right now of fitting it in the morning before the kids wake up."

"I've taught the kids, [and] they have their own mantra that they were given by my Vedic meditation teacher, and she sat with them. We did a little meditation. She did her little ceremony when we did a meditation together for my 6, 7, and 15-year-old," she explains. "And my 15-year-old is pretty consistent with it. He finds it really grounding and helpful."

Kerr welcomed her son Flynn with ex-husbandOrlando Bloomin January 2011. The former couple was together from 2010 to 2013 before Kerrtied the knotwith husbandEvan Spiegelin 2017. Kerr and Spiegel have since welcomed three kids together — son Hart, who was born in May 2018, and son Myles, who was born in October 2019, followed by Pierre in February 2024.

The proud mom shared that meditation is something she wants all of her kids to have in their toolkit, explaining that their connection to it comes from watching her prioritize it in her life.

"The thing about kids is that they watch what you do. They don't really necessarily listen to what you say, but they see your actions. When [Flynn] sees me daily doing my meditation and the benefits that that gives me, he's like, 'Oh, that's interesting. I'd like to try that,' " she says. "And he actually had a little friend group who, after he learned, another six of his friends learned as well, and he went together with them when they got their mantra, and they learned, and then they all did a meditation session together."

"I'm sure it'll be something that he will lean on more in certain times of his life, but it's just a good thing to have in their toolkit," she adds.

Later in the conversation, the doting mom shared the one thing she plans to do to celebrate herself on Mother's Day.

"Honestly, I just want to be having a cup of tea in bed. That's a real luxury to me," she says. "I do have this thing about having a cup of tea in bed and watching the sunrise. I love it with my kids in the bed. So that's a real treat."

Speaking more about her oldest, Kerr shares that she's sure he'll want to begin learning how to drive next year.

"I'm sure he will," she says, sharing that she learned how to drive on a farm when she was younger. "He's had a little bit of experience, but not as much as I'd like him to."

She adds, "I grew up learning stick, and I wanted him to learn stick as well."

Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1957 Interview on “The Open Mind” Was 'Up There with the Gettysburg Address,' Says Host (Exclusive)

In celebration of the 70th anniversary of The Open Mind in May, Alexander Heffner is looking back on the legacy begun by his grandfather Richard D. Heffner

NEED TO KNOW

• Alexander tells PEOPLE that his grandfather's 1957 interview with Martin Luther King Jr. "is up there with the Gettysburg Address"

• In May, Alexander will launch the special "Mayors of the World" series in honor of the milestone anniversary

Years before the world would hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963,Richard D. Heffnersat down with the reverend in an episode of his then-newly establishedThe Open Mindtelevision program.

The February 1957 sit-down was many viewers’ “first encounter with Dr. King,” Heffner, a New York City native who also taught at Rutgers University, says in aretrospective introductionto the video shot decades later.

“I felt constrained to brief [viewers] on who he was; on what, indeed, his growing involvement was in what remains today perhaps our most confounding national issue: race relations in America,” he adds.

And now, in celebration of the program’s 70th anniversary in May, Heffner’s grandson Alexander — who took over as host in 2014 following his grandfather’s death in 2013 at age 88, is reflecting on the interview’s impact and how he’s continuing the show’s legacy all these years later.

“He wanted to give a platform to King in civil rights when that was not just out of the mainstream, it was completely devoid in the dialogue on TV in 1957,” Alexander, 36, tells PEOPLE, adding, “To my knowledge, it is the first broadcast appearance that King made on national television.”

In the episode, titled “The New Negro,” Richard sat down with King and a White South Carolina judge named Julius Waties Waring, “who was there kind of in a protector capacity,” Alexander says. (Waring's dissent in 1952's Briggs v. Elliott, in which he opined that "segregation is per se inequality," laid some groundwork for the Supreme Court's ruling in 1954's Brown v. Board of Education that led to the desegregation of public schools in the U.S.)

“He was the ambassador to King because not only was it completely irreverent and unconventional to have a discussion about civil rights,” he says. “The presence of this judge was making it arguably credible to the audience who was vouching for King.”

The conversation, Alexander notes, speaks to the crux of what the show has tried to do over its seven decades on air.

“To this day, to me, that interview is up there with the Gettysburg Address, and just King himself and what was illuminated through the conversation, to me, that's the America that we aspire to, the dream that became more publicized as King grew in recognition. But he really, in so many ways, gave birth to it onThe Open Mind,” Alexander says.

He adds, “And then over the years, I think that's the philosophy that he brought to the series and that I've attempted to carry forward, which is there's no topic that is too controversial if it's approached in a fair-minded way.”

Following two seasons of his seriesBreaking Bread with Alexander —where he spoke to and shared a meal with — various politicians on both sides of the aisle, Alexander is launching a new special called “Mayors of the World” in celebration ofThe Open Mind’s 70th anniversary.

“I'm just super psyched that I can introduce our viewers on PBS to, like King back in '57, some of these unknown leaders who are making a difference every day,” he says of the upcoming program, which premieres in May. “And whether Olivia Chow in Toronto becomes a Prime Minister of Canada or Mayor Dickens in Atlanta becomes President of the United States I can't say, but I can say that these are people committed to the public good.”

In addition to Dickens and Chow, “Mayors of the World” will feature Haris Doukas, the mayor of Athens; Carlos Moedas, the mayor of Lisbon; Stephan Keller, the mayor of Düsseldorf; Henriette Reker, the mayor of Cologne; Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami; Mike Duggan, the mayor of Detroit; Mario Desbordes, the mayor of Santiago; and Michelle Bachelet, ex-president of Chile.
