Five years ago, supermodel Natalia Vodianova moved into Antoine Arnault’s duplex apartment in Paris with her tribe, which then comprised just the three oldest children, fathered by her ex-husband, Justin Portman. Today, the couple resides together in the home with their five children–Roman, 1 year old; Maxim, 3; Viktor, 9; Neva, 11; and Lucas, 15. “We need more space,” says Vodianova, W‘s June/July 2017 cover star. “We’re looking, but I’m almost paranoid to let this place go. We’ve been so happy here.” In a rare, intimate series, photographer Patrick Demarchelier captures the supermodel and her family at home. See the photographs here.
