Lara Bingle looks nothing short of incredible as she covers the latest edition of Marie Claire Australia. 

The model, 33, who is married to actor Sam Worthington, stuns in a backless top and shows off her cropped blonde locks as she fronts the February issue.

Lara did her own hair and makeup and styling for the shoot, and spoke to the publication about her life as a mother and how having children changed her views on body image.

She told the magazine she’d struggled with body confidence in her younger years, but welcoming children completely changed her perspective. 

The Aussie beauty, who hails from Sydney’s Cronulla but is now based in LA, explained that having her three children taught her to ‘be happy’ in her body.

‘Before I had kids, I was always trying to get skinny or be a certain weight,’ she said.

‘My mind was so focused on that and then the moment I just let myself be happy in my body and had kids it really changed for me. I feel like my whole early 20s were just so centred on body issues.’

Lara, who is married to Avatar star Sam Worthington, is mother to Rocket, four, Racer, three, and a newborn, whose name is yet to be revealed.

The doting mum added that she thinks her body was ‘meant to have kids’ and she would ‘happily’ have more in the future.

Lara and Sam welcomed their most recent addition, a baby boy, early last year. 

Lara had confirmed her pregnancy in November 2019, telling Vogue Australia: ‘I’m having a boy, early next year. It’s my third boy and we’re all very excited and very happy.

‘I think any addition brings joy and happiness to the family, but more so when you can share it with the other boys. It’s such a boy’s club in my house!’

Lara and Sam began dating in 2013 and married in secret a year later.
