Elle Macpherson and Miami-based billionaire Jeffrey Soffer are back together in a big way after a year long split … she recently moved to Florida and they are engaged.
The Australian supermodel and the real estate tycoon were an item for two years before breaking up in March 2012.
Perhaps it was the helicopter accident that the ‘Fashion Star’ host’s ex-boyfriend survived in the Bahamas in late November that led to a reconciliation.
A chopper carrying Soffer crashed while trying to land at the exclusive Baker’s Bay Golf & Ocean Club north of Great Guana Cay four months ago. The co-pilot was killed and the pilot suffered major injuries. Three passengers were thrown from the chopper when the rotor blades hit the ground. Jeff Soffer walked away from the accident with only bruises.
Macpherson’s fiance is a hotel heir and head of Turnberry Associates, one of the country’s leading property firms. The group owns the Fontainebleau resort in Miami Beach as well as condominiums in Las Vegas, the Bahamas and Washington D.C.
Elle, 48, had a long term relationship from 1997-2005, with French financier Arpad Busson — the father of her two sons, Arpad Flynn, 15, and Aurelius Cy, 10. He is now engaged to actress Uma Thurman, who gave birth to their daughter last July.
Macpherson was married from 1985-1989 to French fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon, former creative director of Elle magazine.
