Welcome back for another fantastic MAXIM cover, Nat. How does it feel the second time around? Spectacular! My previous MAXIM Australia covers have been some of my favourite covers for years, until now! I'm so happy to be gracing the NZ cover for the first time. Crazy to note that the first Australian cover was in 2016!
What have you been up to since then?
I've moved countries a few times. I lived in L.A. for three years and now I'm back in Sydney where my whole modelling career started. I'm also married with a handful of new and exciting business ventures keeping me busy. I increased my list of travelled countries to 25 and welcomed two cute Cavalier King Charles puppies into my life.
Nice. Give us the top three biggest changes in your life since 2016.
In May 2021 I underwent a major surgery to correct a spinal disorder called Scoliosis. I had a nice and strong titanium rod installed along my spine to correct a curve that I have had since I was 13. It had been getting worse with time thanks gravity - so it was a definite requirement to prevent my organs from shutting down with a lack of space in my shortening torso. It was a crazy surgery and I'm actually still on the 12-month-long recovery journey. My whole body is readjusting to its new position. It's worthwhile and life-saving, but a huge personal change.
Holy crap, that is a big change! Do we dare ask about the other two?
Second would be COVID. Who didn't have their life changed from the pandemic? I relocated back to Australia from L.A. right at the start of 2020 with the plan to go back at some point, but that changed as we settled here in Sydney. Third would be my new husband - my personal favourite!
Yes! Huge congrats on your recent marriage to [Australian TV actor] Harley Bonner. We hear that he actually proposed to you during this photo shoot?
