Stephanie Seymour - Cosmo Cover Girl September 1994


IT'S A BOY:

"My baby's eight months old. He's named after his dad (socialite Peter Brant), and he's very pretty. Also very intelligent. He might start crying, then stop awhile and try to figure out what's going on. Then of course he'll start crying again!"

MODEL MOMMY:

"My older son, Dylan (her four-year-old from a previous marriage), used to come with me to shoots, but now that I have two kids, I know they can keep each other company at home. And besides, what child would choose the studio over his swing set at home? I'd take the swing set anytime!"

NO MORE NUDES:

"Yes, there are those famous shots Richard Avedon took of me lifting my dress - you can see my crotch. And I've posed for Playboy. But at this stage of my life, if someone asked me to pose without my clothes, I'd have to say no. I'm not ashamed of what I did, but I just don't want to do that sort of thing anymore."

DON'T HATE HER BECAUSE SHE'S SKINNY:

"Losing weight postpregnancy was not an issue. In fact, I have to opposite problem! I can't seem to gain. So I drink these really caloric protein shakes. Right now, I exercise mostly by walking and riding. One of these days, I'm going to start a real workout routine."

AND WHAT ABOUT THE DAD?

"Peter's still going through a divorce, but we talk about getting married all the time. In fact, I consider us married in our hearts. And if you're not married in your heart, you're not really married - no matter what a piece of paper says. We're committed, we love each other, and the birth of our son has brought us even closer together. Peter has five kids from a previous marriage - triplets includes - and our kids get along great. When his kids come visit, I barely see my older son, Dylan. So you could say all the basics of family are already there."
