Miranda Kerr’s family has made an emotional public plea for the Aussie supermodel to come home, revealing they have not seen their famous daughter or her son Flynn “in over a year.”

In a “love letter” from Miranda Kerr’s mother Therese, father John, brother Matthew and nanna Ann, the clan have used an episode of an Australian docudrama series, Family Confidential, to expose cracks in their relationship with the catwalk star.

Therese Kerr, who was sacked by her daughter in her role as the managing director of Miranda’s Kora skincare range last year, claims “Miranda’s life is so different now (and) she’s surrounded by yes people all the time. It’s so important for me to be real, to be true, to be who she needs me to be.”

Miranda’s fathe, John, and grandmother, Ann, both despair at the growing distance between the fashionista and their grandchild, Flynn, now 3, who they fear is “missing out” on being close to his Australian family.

John Kerr tells the program it was Miranda’s ex-husband Orlando Bloom who rang him to confirm the A-list couple planned to divorce, after only three years of marriage, with her dad wishing his daughter had married a “nobody” instead.

“Not really into movies” before his daughter met and secretly wed Bloom, John Kerr revealed how he bonded with the ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ star.

“He’s into motorbikes so he’s got to be nice … him and I hit it off pretty well.”

When Bloom rang to talk about the split, John Kerr said: “I remember him saying ‘we’re always going to be family’ and that’s how we’ll treat Orlando, Miranda and Flynn. We’re all family.”

Since the separation – followed by reports Miranda is now dating Australian billionaire James Packer – her family left behind in Australia claim they have not seen her or Flynn in “over a year.”

In a simple, yet heartfelt dream for his celebrity daughter and grandson, John Kerr says: “What I’d really like to do as a granddad now is teach Flynn how to milk a cow, how to ride a horse, teach him all them country things.”

With his fears for her celebrity lifestyle realized, John Kerr adds: ‘After what I know now I would rather she did just marry a nobody because you really can’t get that family time by yourself. I just hope Flynn grows up and he wants to be with his nan and pop.”

The episode, to air next week on Australia’s ABC1 channel, will also lift the lid on the family’s struggles to cope with their daughter’s rising fame – and the impact it has had on her brother Matthew especially.

He admits he felt “lost” after the family made the decision to move from their rural area home to Brisbane, on Australia’s east coast, to help support Miranda in her early modelling days – before she moved to New York at the age of 25.

At that time, her parents warned Miranda “the day you think you’re better than anyone else is the day you don’t model under our guidance.”

Her dad sympathizes with his son, saying: “How could he ever live up to what Miranda’s done?”

While both her mother and brother were given jobs in Miranda’s Kora skincare business, they have since parted ways, with Therese creating her own rival line, Divine by Therese Kerr.

She admits it’s her daughter’s profile that has given her “the platform to be able to have a voice” but the protective mother and grandmother says “it’s a double-edged sword.”

“You have to be in the media to be able to get your message out, but then our little Flynny doesn’t know what it’s like to walk outside without paparazzi,” she said.

Kerr’s father defends his daughter’s determination to take control of her life after turning 30.

“There were so many people who said ‘oh Miranda she used to be this nice little girl who we could get to do anything’, whereas now she’s like ‘you know what, I’m not doing that anymore.'”

He adds: “I wish she was just a normal, everyday girl, I really do.”

But it is Miranda’s mother Therese who appears to have been hit hardest by the change in circumstances with her daughter and cuts a lonely figure, trying desperately to reconnect with her eldest child.

“What I have had to do is let go,” Therese says, tearfully “and allow her to be assertive and lead her own life and I guess for any mum that’s a little bit challenging sometimes to do that.”

Their once-daily connection appears broken, with Therese filmed sending her daughter sweet texts of encouragement and love – not returned immediately by Miranda.

“We have been best friends for most of our life. We used to talk just about every day. I send her messages, just little texts to say ‘I love you honey, let your little light shine, my arms are wrapped around you.'”

Her brother adds: “I’d like to spend more one-on-one time instead of with an entourage of people who we don’t really know. I love her to death, I just want to see her more.”

The family’s anguish comes as Miranda’s career has taken another tick upwards, this week she signed as the new face of international retail giant H & M.

A spokeswoman for Miranda said the model “wasn’t able to be back in Australia to film this episode due to her busy international work schedule but is grateful to her parents, brother and extended family in Australia for their ongoing support and love. The Kerr family have a special and unique bond and I’m sure this intimate insight will be viewed fondly by all.”
