She was the glamorous runway sensation in a high-profile relationship with billionaire James Packer, till he ended their two-year engagement in 1998.

Nowadays former model Kate Fischer is barely recognisable, living a modest life back in Melbourne while working as a therapist according to Woman's Day magazine.

This comes after the 42-year-old relocated to Los Angeles several years ago, converting to Judaism and even changing her name to T’ziporah Malka bat Israel.

The media personality was recently spotted wearing just a bed sheet and simple slippers as she checked her mailbox outside her home in the Melbourne suburb of Toorak.

'I don't think she goes out much,' one neighbour told Woman's Day.

'I see the lights on but I don't see her for weeks at a time.'

A friend of the star also told the publication, 'she's extremely private', and that 'she'd still like to fall in love and have a family of her own, but she's happy'.

The publication reports that Kate, or T'Ziporah, is 'working as a part-time therapist at an aged-care facility, studying Yiddish and attending temple each week'.

Back in 2010 she opened up to the same magazine about her newfound life away from the spotlight, involving indulging in a new religion and not worrying about her appearance so much.

'I am wearing braces and I figured, you know, I am going to get fat and wear braces,' she said at the time.

It was back in 1988 at the age of just 14, that she got her big break in the modelling world by winning the Dolly Magazine Covergirl of the Year competition.

In 1993 she famously stripped down for a role in Australian film Sirens, starring in the flick alongside the likes of Elle Macpherson and Portia de Rossi.

She later went on to star in a string of Australian television shows, but spent more of her time in Los Angeles after Packer broke her heart in 1998.
