Elle Macpherson publicly shared a series of rare family photos on Monday to commemorate her son Aurelius Cy Andrea Busson's 16th birthday.

The 54-year-old supermodel posted a gallery of never-before-seen snaps of her youngest child, including Cy's first ultrasound scans.

Among the heartwarming photos is a handwritten card announcing her son's birth to friends back in February 2003.

'Arki, Elle and Flynn welcome baby Cy into this world,' read the commemorative card. 

The names refer to Elle's then-partner, French financier Arpad Busson (who is known as 'Arki'), and her eldest son Arpad Flynn Busson, who goes by his middle name like his younger brother. 

She also shared several throwback photos of Cy as a baby, as well as a picture of Arpad and a four-year-old Flynn doting on the infant.

She later posted a more recent photo of her youngest son, alongside the caption: 'Today... 16'.  

Elle shares her two children - Flynn, 20, and Aurelius Cy, 16 - with her ex-partner, London-based French financier Arpad Busson.

The pair met back in 1996, but separated in July 2005. 

Elle, who earned the nickname 'The Body' in the '90s, is known for her age-defying physique, which she credits to 'good nutrition' and 'living alkaline'.   

'The most important thing to me is how I feel, and I've found if my body is getting the nutrients it needs, then it shows on the outside - beauty from the inside out,' she explained in the book The Game Changers. 

Elle appears to take a holistic approach to her exercise regime as she mixes high intensity workouts with meditation and yoga.   

'I sip on hot water and lemon to kick-start my metabolism. Then I mediate for about 20 to 30 minutes. It helps keep me balanced and feel strong and confident,' she previously told Harper's Bazaar.
