Trunfio began dating
Texan blues musician
Gary Clark Jr. in 2012 after they met at the
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the
Empire Polo Club in
Indio, California. In November 2014, when Trunfio was seven months pregnant, she announced their engagement. The pair married on 19 April 2016 at the
Colony Palms Hotel in
Palm Springs, California with a Coachella-style wedding, inspired by the location they met. Her wedding dress was designed by Australian designer
Steven Khalil. In 2015, Trunfio announced the birth of her first child, a son. In an interview with
Vogue, she said "my first [child birth] was a breeze—I was working until about six months in, shooting lingerie campaigns, flying to promote a movie I'd just shot [for] the
Toronto International Film Festival and then onto
Dubai for a TV commercial." The pair's second child, a daughter, was born in 2018. For her second pregnancy, Trunfio chose to give
birth at home. "It did not go smoothly and I almost died", she told
Vogue. In 2020, Trunfio and Clark's third child, another daughter, was born. Trunfio has been living on a 50-acre horse ranch near
Austin, Texas with her husband and their three children since 2017.
Business ventures Trunfio is the founder and CEO of
maternity clothing brand Bumpsuit, sustainable and ethical jewellery brand Erth Jewellery, and swimwear line Erth Swim. In December 2016, Trunfio launched her own jewellery brand, Erth Jewellery, that focuses on
sustainability. In 2018, Trunfio collaborated with Australian luxury candle and fragrance brand
Lumira, creating a candle titled "The Vow" to promote self-love and positivity. She was inspired by the scents of dark, mysterious hotels and late-night meals and cocktails after living in Paris for a year, as well as being on a yacht in the Mediterranean, between the
Amalfi Coast, Italy and the South of France. In February 2020, Trunfio launched her own maternity brand, Bumpsuit. She created Bumpsuit when she was pregnant with her third baby and felt frustrated with the lack of chic maternity options. In July 2020, Trunfio launched her sustainable swimwear line Erth Swim, designed to "minimise its impact on the planet". She decided to create this brand after visiting
Bali and seeing the state of the beaches after people had taken advantage of their environment, to raise awareness of this issue. All styles and designs for Erth Swim are made by women in Bali and
greater Indonesia.
Views In 2015, Trunfio faced backlash in regards to her Australian edition
Elle magazine story, which featured her breastfeeding her four-month-old son. This image was released only to the subscribers' cover of the issue as a thank-you for subscribing, while an image of Trunfio holding her son was instead published to newsstands. Trunfio's image was criticized as the media has continued to shy away from images of breastfeeding mothers. Trunfio stated "I think it should be something that isn't a [subscribers' cover]…it's a huge part of being a woman and motherhood." However, Trunfio was also praised as some readers said "the image deserved wider release" in the interests of normalizing breastfeeding. Trunfio has since used the cover as an opportunity to advocate for a change in the stigma surrounding women who breastfeed in public using the
hashtag "#NormalizeBreastfeeding" on her Instagram. In 2016, Trunfio joined forces with clothing label Auguste in raising awareness of "
1% For The Planet", an organisation that asks businesses to contribute at least 1% of net revenue to sustainability-oriented causes. She applauded the global sustainability movement, saying "it's really important for brands to give back, and I hope this campaign inspires other Australian labels to join 1% For The Planet." In January 2017, Trunfio participated in the women's march in Austin, where she carried two signs that read "Your silence will not protect you" and "Women's rights, black rights, trans rights, immigrant rights are human rights". ==References==
