It has been reported today that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has “taken a break” from her relationship with actor Jason Statham following a series of rows. However, in the October issue of ELLE – which those of you with a subscription to the magazine should have just received – the cover star talks of her love for him.
She talks about the support having a partner brings when you have a hectic lifestyle. “Many models are in long-term relationships for stability,” she says. “Admittedly, not always with great men, but it gives them something to come home to, something grounding. That¹s how I see my relationship. Well, I see it in many ways but one of the most beautiful things is that I feel at home wherever I am in the world because of him.”
She also talks about the public’s perception of models. “I can see why people think models come across as a little cold. When you start out you¹re so young you don¹t have a voice. Everyone just tells you what to do and you can end up abroad in the middle of nowhere, with no one speaking English. It is very lonely... You develop a thick skin to protect yourself. Now I am 26, when I come on a set, I can say what I think and my opinions are noted. I¹ve grafted hard to be here.”
