ELLE MACPHERSON - MACPHERSON INSISTED SHE WAS 'SO SECURE' WITH BUSSON

Supermodel ELLE MACPHERSON revealed her love for ARPAD BUSSON, just weeks before their shocking split.

The Antipodean beauty told VANITY FAIR magazine, who have included the interview in next month's (AUG05) issue, her romance with the French financier was rock solid, even though Busson - the father of her two sons FLYNN, seven, and CY, two - hadn't proposed during their decade-long relationship.

She said, "It's much sexier like this. You're my boyfriend. Isn't that cool after 10 years? And you're such a catch.

"Wouldn't you think that somebody would just be desperate to marry him?

"But I think it's really cool that I'm so secure I don't need that."
