STAR STRUCK<br />
It seems Jen and Jake are not<br />
only in synch in their romantic life,<br />
they’re also on the same page when<br />
it comes to their fi nances, and are<br />
incredibly focused on amassing a<br />
healthy portfolio of properties.<br />
Their real estate empire already<br />
boasts six investments, which<br />
span from Sydney to Newcastle.<br />
Their latest venture is their<br />
038<br />
Jen and Jake at the<br />
Myer autumn/winter<br />
launch dinner<br />
Jen and fiancé<br />
Jake Wall<br />
marital home at North Curl Curl, nearing<br />
completion by the beginning of 2012.<br />
“Jake’s hard at work on that now as project<br />
manager. It’s so exciting to be working on<br />
our dream home together. We expect it to be<br />
fi nished by January.”<br />
And then, wedding preparations? “Oh<br />
yes, wedding prep will be in full swing by<br />
next year. I have looked at a few dresses,<br />
but by early 2012 all that will be a priority. I<br />
can’t wait to plan it all.”<br />
Does she want to be in the family way<br />
soon after? “The wedding defi nitely comes<br />
fi rst. Then, sure, babies down the track.<br />
For now, I’m happy to concentrate on my<br />
siblings’ children,” says Jen, herself one of<br />
four kids.<br />
One thing is certain. The world of<br />
the supermodel is one that comes with<br />
an expiry date. Few do post-model life<br />
exceptionally well.<br />
Asked who does the whole package really<br />
well, Jen nominates model-turned-presenter<br />
Heidi Klum. “Her transition was seamless,<br />
and she’s done extraordinarily well. Right<br />
now I have so much going on and I’m happy<br />
with my lot in life.”<br />
And why wouldn’t she be? This Aussie<br />
beauty has it all worked out. And one can’t<br />
help but be happy for her, too.<br />
