Jodie Kidd, a former supermodel, has transitioned from jet-setting around the world to a more rustic lifestyle in West Sussex. She now resides with her fiancé Joseph Bates and her 14-year-old son, Indio, tending to chickens and cultivating her own vegetables. Additionally, Kidd is the proud owner of The Half Moon Kirdford, a 15th-century pub she has managed for nearly a decade.
Despite her idyllic setting, Kidd acknowledges the lack of downtime in her life. She expresses pride in the pub’s community support and sourcing local produce within a 25-mile radius. Hosting special events like weddings and birthdays brings her the most joy, as she feels deeply connected to people’s celebrations.
Kidd’s engagement to Joseph has been a lengthy one, with plans for a country wedding in Devon, where Joseph hails from. She emphasizes their strong bond based on mutual respect and support, highlighting their teamwork and the absence of ego or jealousy in their relationship.
The supermodel, now close to turning 50, embraces aging with grace. She emphasizes the importance of self-care routines, including skincare, red-light therapy, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Kidd’s passion for cars led her to a brief stint in motor-racing before she shifted her focus to her family and her YouTube channel, Kidd In A Sweet Shop.
Jodie Kidd has recently joined forces with the Department for Transport to advocate for electric vehicles and promote scenic road trips in the UK. This collaboration aims to highlight the growing infrastructure supporting electric cars across the country, making long journeys more accessible and environmentally friendly.
