Miranda Kerr Shares Insights on Spiritual Healing After Split from Orlando Bloom
Australian supermodel and beauty entrepreneur Miranda Kerr has offered a rare glimpse into her post-divorce relationship with former husband Orlando Bloom during a recent podcast appearance. The 42-year-old model, who shares 15-year-old son Flynn with the Pirates of the Caribbean star, appeared on Tuesday's episode of the We Need to Talk podcast to discuss their separation journey.
The Path to Forgiveness and Peace
Reflecting on their 2013 separation, Kerr emphasized the spiritual work that formed the foundation of their current relationship. "From day one, Orlando and I had done a lot of spiritual work, and forgiveness was a big part of that," she revealed during the interview. "Forgiving each other, forgiving ourselves, creating peace within the situation."
The model explained that both she and Bloom recognized their relationship wasn't serving either of them optimally. "We both knew that the relationship was not bringing out the best in each other," Kerr stated candidly about their decision to part ways.
Prioritizing Their Son's Well-Being
Kerr described how she approached Bloom with a clear priority: their son's needs must come first. However, she stressed that complete forgiveness was equally essential for their family dynamic. "Let's make sure that we completely forgive each other," she recalled telling the British actor. "Make peace with each other, otherwise it really weighs on you."
The supermodel elaborated on the emotional toll of unresolved issues, noting that "having that animosity towards someone else because they didn't live up to your expectations is very draining." This insight has guided their approach to co-parenting over the past decade.
Current Family Dynamics and Relationships
Since their divorce, both celebrities have moved forward with new relationships and expanded families. Kerr is now married to Snap Inc. CEO and co-founder Evan Spiegel, with whom she shares three sons:
- Hart, age 7
- Myles, age 5
- Pierre, 23 months
Bloom began dating pop star Katy Perry in 2016, and though they split last year, they continue to co-parent their 5-year-old daughter Daisy.
Creating Harmonious Co-Parenting Relationships
Kerr emphasized the importance of maintaining peaceful communication with her ex-husband, particularly given their shared parenting responsibilities. "When you have a child with someone else, they're always going to be that person's parent for the rest of their life," she explained. "There are going to be situations when you're going to need to talk if you like it or not."
The model posed a rhetorical question that reflects her philosophy: "So why not make it harmonious? Why not make it more peaceful?" This approach has allowed both parents to maintain a functional relationship focused on their son's well-being.
Background on Their Relationship
According to reports, Kerr was first introduced to Bloom through fellow Victoria's Secret Angel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The couple began dating in 2007 and married in 2010 before separating three years later. Their journey from romantic partners to co-parents demonstrates how celebrities navigate personal relationships in the public eye while prioritizing family stability.
Kerr's candid discussion offers valuable insights into how high-profile individuals manage post-divorce relationships, emphasizing spiritual healing, forgiveness, and practical co-parenting strategies that benefit all family members involved.
