When a supermodel marries a rock star, it sounds like a fairy tale…and a recipe for exceptionally unhealthy living. Yet Elaine Irwin-Mellencamp, 39, has managed to spin her glam life—she’s modeled for Ralph Lauren, Victoria’s Secret, and J. Crew, and has graced the cover of Vogue—into a warm, well-balanced one with her family in the country. She and her husband, John Mellencamp, 57, have been married for 16 years and are raising their sons Hud, 14, and Speck, 13, in a house on Lake Monroe outside Bloomington, Ind. In fact, the Almay spokesmodel not only embraces life in Indiana but uses it to her health advantage by practicing boxing, fencing, and even running football plays with her sons.
Just one day before the family heads off on a five-week tour of Australia and New Zealand, Elaine opens up about the joy of having boys, the importance of staying physically strong, and the health scare that made nutritious eating a family priority.
