The 27-year-old model - who has a seven-year-old son called Riley with her ex-partner Jordan - has revealed her celebrity status has made it especially difficult for her to develop close bonds with other people.

She said: "I've made strong friendships in the spotlight and you're meeting new people all the time. But you soon become wary and realise that some people just want to get near you for your name.

"I have developed good judgement and go off vibes now. Anyone with bad energy is cut off straight away."

In recent years, Jourdan has developed a close friendship with fellow model Karlie Kloss.

And the British catwalk beauty has revealed Karlie has played a major role in helping her to realise her career ambitions.

Speaking to MailOnline, Jourdan explained: "She is my best friend. We give each other advice all the time. We talk about everything, but the one thing Karlie does is see my potential and helps me to be the best me."

Jourdan also admitted her young son has helped to keep her feet firmly planted to the ground.

However, Riley still gets excited when he sees Jourdan appear on the TV.

She shared: "He finds it funny when people come up to me ... But he does get excited when one of my commercials flash up on TV!"

Meanwhile, Jourdan revealed her son is still undecided about what career he wants to pursue when he's older.

But the London-born star insisted she'll support Riley regardless of his ambitions.

She said: "Riley changes his mind all the time on what he wants to be when he is older.

"One day it's a doctor, then a rock star, builder, actor - it changes daily. I will support him in whatever he chooses to do."
