Helena Christensen & Her Workout Buddy

Helena Christensen and her 10 1/2-year-old son Mingus were spotted at a park in New York City today (September 3). While kicking around the soccer ball with her son, the supermodel mom also snuck in a workout.

On her best advice to parents, the 41-year-old former Victoria's Secret Angel said, "just let it happen."

I don’t know how to give advice. When you have a child, you learn something new every day and I couldn’t give any precise rules because there aren’t any. Every child is different. You’re different. I worried a lot when I had Mingus; the responsibility is so heavy if you think about it. If you think too much about it, it drives you crazy, so just let it happen. All [kids] really want is love and routine and a good night’s sleep and delicious food. He certainly complains if there’s not enough garlic in the food."

Mingus' father is Helena's ex-husband, Norman Reedus.
