Balinese Princess and model Lindy Rama-Ellis (formerly Klim) has experienced a successful modelling career, and now her eldest daughter Stella wants to follow in her footsteps.
“Stella is definitely wanting to pursue modelling and it’s very difficult stage to work though because she’s 12 but she looks like she’s 16,” the 40-year-old tells WHO.
Rama-Ellis says her first chid with ex Michael Klim, who has an Instagram account she keeps private, has done a few surfing shoots but doesn’t want her involved in the fashion world just yet.
“I think I want her to have a better understanding of it and I’ve explained to her that it’s more important to have a cause or to be a spokesperson and not just a pretty face.
“I’ve been trying to teach her that the idea of just being a model, you get washed up at such a young age, so she really needs to try and find a niche in the market somewhere which she can move with.”
The mum-of-four admits that she would be a hands-on momager, making sure her daughter wasn’t “used and abused”.
Rama-Ellis is also mum to daughter Frankie, 7, and son Rocco, 10, with ex Klim. She recently welcomed a baby girl, Goldie, with husband Adam Ellis.
