Proud Elle Macpherson reunites with her billionaire ex Arpad 'Arki' Busson to celebrate their youngest son Cy graduating from prestigious Massachusetts college
Elle Macpherson had every reason to celebrate over the weekend as her youngest son Cy Busson graduated from prestigious Babson College in Massachusetts with top honours.
The 61-year-old Aussie icon took to Instagram to share a series of proud family snaps and videos from the graduation ceremony, which was held on campus.
Cy, 22, looked dapper in his cap and gown as he accepted his diploma on stage, graduating Summa Cum Laude - the highest distinction awarded for academic excellence.
In one heartwarming image, the fresh graduate is seen beaming as he shakes hands with university officials, while another shows him posing alongside proud mum Elle, his older brother Flynn Busson and her ex, billionaire French financier Arpad 'Arki' Busson, who is Cy's father.
Elle captioned the photos with heartfelt tributes, proudly tagging her son @cybusson and writing 'The graduate' and 'Summa Cum Laude' over the footage.
Cy later changed out of his graduation gown into a smart suit and Boston Red Sox cap.
The ceremony was held at Babson College, a highly respected business school located in Wellesley, Massachusetts, which is known globally for its entrepreneurial leadership programs.
At one point the Macpherson family posed alongside Arki's daughter Luna Thurman-Busson, whom he shares with actress Uma Thurman.
Arki dated Elle in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The pair also share eldest son Flynn, 26, who has largely remained out of the spotlight.
Elle, who is based between Miami and Europe, has often spoken about how proud she is of her sons, once revealing in an interview that motherhood was her greatest joy and achievement.
Cy appears to be following in his famous mother's footsteps.
He has already appeared in several magazine shoots and is represented by talent agency Next Models Miami.
Cy mostly kept out of the spotlight until turning 18, but since reaching that milestone has featured in a handful of publications.
While Flynn is clearly following after his father, Cy appears to be following in his famous mother's footsteps with a modelling career too
He appeared on the cover of Australian Vogue and French Elle alongside his mother and older brother.
He also fronted the Russian edition of Glamour Man.
Elle wished her son a happy birthday in February last year.
The model posted a gallery of never-before-seen snaps of her youngest child on Instagram, including one picture of herself breastfeeding a newborn Cy.
'Aurelius sped into the world in just four hours, bringing indescribable joy and unconditional love, making our family complete,' she wrote in the caption.
She continued: 'We love you to the moon and back and round Australia a gazillion times. Thank you for choosing us.'
Elle known as 'The Body', has previously said that when she became a mother, she decided to put her sons first over her career.
'I was 35 when I had my first [Flynn] and 41 when I had Cy and so I came to children a little later in life, but I made sure they were going to be the priority,' she said.
'I used to travel a lot and I'd go through that thing that [working] mothers go through.
'I would always tell them, 'Mum loves what she does and I hope in life you find something you love to do so that work doesn't feel like work and you go off and do your thing and while I'm off doing my thing.
'How cool for you guys to have that time without your helicopter, control-freak mother around.''
She also said she was 'moved' to learn one of her sons had said in an interview that she made them feel they were her 'priority'.
