Australian model Miranda Kerr has provided fans with insight into her current relationship with ex-husband Orlando Bloom and his new fiancé, Katy Perry.

Speaking to Stellar Magazine’s Something To Talk About podcast, Kerr revealed how herself and Bloom have been able to navigate their co-parenting relationship, and how their new respective partners have played a key part in helping the famous ex’s raise their son, 12-year-old Flynn Bloom.

Miranda and Orlando were married from 2010 to 2013, and while there have been rumours of tension between the couple following their divorce, both Kerr and Bloom have remained consistently complimentary of one another in the decade following their split.

Kerr has since remarried to Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel, with the couple sharing their two sons, Myles, 3, and Hart, 4. Bloom has also found love again with fiancé Katy Perry, with the couple dating casually in 2016 before rekindling their romance in 2018.

When asked about her current co-parenting relationship with Bloom, Kerr had nothing but positive things to say.

“From day one, Orlando and I really made a commitment to put Flynn’s needs at the forefront of everything we do. So that’s how he’s grown up – with two loving parents that want the best for him and then obviously, when Evan and Katy came into the picture, we just felt that offered Flynn even more love and he really sees that,” Kerr told Something To Talk About.

Kerr was also quick to dispel any presumption of tension between herself and Bloom’s pop-sensation fiancé, telling Something To Talk About that the two famous mums are closer than ever.

“I literally say how thankful I am for Katy every day. As she’s said in the past, she will sometimes sidebar text me and be like, ‘Hey, what do you think of this?’ or ‘What if we do this?’ and ‘Maybe this is a good solution’, so we’re always kind of working together as that female force to try and do the best thing for our families,” said Kerr.

“I feel very blessed to have that relationship with her. She really is like a sister to me and we’ve kind of connected from day one,” she added.

Kerr further expressed her gratitude for Katy’s support, adding that the “incredible mum” has been her cheerleader not just in parenting, but in business as well.

“She even dressed up at the G’Day LA event when she gave me the award [for Excellence in Arts]. She dressed up as our [KORA Organics] turmeric glow moisturiser because that’s her favourite moisturiser in the world and that was her idea. She was like ‘Surprise!’.”
