The Sydney Morning Herald reports Pixie Curtis’s PR mogul mum — who helped launch her daughter’s successful career — travelled to the US to meet with producers who are keen to get the youngster in front of the camera. Pixie was reportedly meant to join Jacenko, but was struck down with Covid-19 and instead stayed in Sydney. Neither of the pair have confirmed the report, but Jacenko this morning shared a selfie with her daughter from the luxurious resort where the family is currently holidaying, with just a love heart as the caption.Jacenko was the star of her own short-lived reality series, I Am … Roxy!, which aired as part of Channel 10’s Pilot Week experiment in 2019. She revealed in December that her daughter — the eldest of her two children with husband Oliver Curtis — “could retire at 15”, a revelation that made international news after her second business, Pixie’s Fidgets, made more than $200,000 in its first month of operation. “Our family joke has been I’ll be working till I’m 100 and Pixie will have retired at 15 — I certainly know who’s smarter,” she told news.com.au at the time. “I take my hat off her to, she’s experienced a lot in her 10 years and is still a polite, caring and grounded young girl. “She’s got many dreams which include a house by the beach and a Lamborghini SUV in the garage, so she’ll be working for a lot longer and harder to get that but she’s well on her way. “Now the important lesson is to teach her to invest well and not squander her money.” Pixie first made headlines back in 2014 when the then two-year-old was dubbed the “Princess of Instagram” thanks to her burgeoning social media following. Jacenko started an account on the social media platform for her daughter shortly after she was born, pairing photos of the adorable tot’s jetset lifestyle and spectacular outfits with often tongue-in-cheek captions. “The only time double velour is acceptable. In the air with a co-ordinating eye mask,” Jacenko captioned one photo of Pixie, on board a first class flight. Jacenko told Mail Online at the time that while there was “no strategic plan” behind setting up Pixie’s account she did plan to instil business savvy in her daughter. “Pixie has an account which I opened a week after she was born and anything that she earns goes into that account so when she’s older, she has a good start,” she said. “I’m going to teach her to be smart with her money, as my parents did with me, work hard, earn it but don’t blow it on materialistic things until you have property.” Following the viral success of Pixie’s Instagram account in May 2014 Jacenko launched a line of hair accessories for children called Pixie’s Bows.The oh-so-cute bows featured heavily on Pixie’s Instagram account and quickly became the it accessory at playgroups and schools across the country.In the years since the line has also garnered international attention, with Suri Cruise, North West and Khloe Kardashian’s daughter True all pictured in Pixie’s Bows.In 2018 a retail expert predicted Pixie could be worth $21 million by the time she turns 18 just based off the money she makes from her bows business.But Pixie’s time in the spotlight hasn’t been without challenges.In mid 2014 her Instagram account was briefly suspended, a decision that blindsided Jacenko and the tot’s followers.In 2016 the then four-year-old was the victim of a disturbing photo prank where images of Pixie were doctored onto lewd photos and circulated among Sydney’s top fashion identities.In response Jacenko switched Pixie’s profile to private, telling The Daily Telegraph she was deeply upset by the incident.“As a mother, everything I do is for the children, both Pixie and Hunter,” Jacenko said.“It sickens me to think that grown men, within the same industry, could possibly find any humour in superimposing my four-year-old daughter, or anyone’s child for that matter, into lewd and explicit situations. It is sick and in my eyes, it’s paedophilia.”Jacenko also raised eyebrows when she purchased a Mercedes-Benz GL for her daughter to be transported between school, home and the office in — despite the fact she’s years away from being able to get behind the wheel herself. The $267,100 car was a “reward” for the hard work of both Pixie and her younger brother Hunter, with Jacenko joking at the time that if they kept it up, next time the car would be “a Rolls Royce”. News.com.au has contacted Jacenko for comment.
