Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom split up

By Andrew Hornery

After just two years of marriage Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr and Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom have confirmed in a joint statement they have parted ways.

The statement said: "Despite this being the end of their marriage they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family."

The cracks in Kerr's marriage to Bloom began to show in April. During an interview with Cleo magazine the supermodel from Gunnedah said:

"Everyone has their challenges. Any relationship you're in takes work,'' Miranda told Cleo, in a rare insight to her private life.

"No matter what else is going on we'll always be in each other's lives because we are a family. I'm so grateful for that,'' she told us.

Miranda said the couple were trying to work through their "challenges".


"I often say to Orlando we are so lucky to have each other and to have Flynn."

Kerr and Bloom had been seeing each other for six years, their relationship producing baby boy Flynn.


Bloom recently put the family Hollywood Hills home on the market for $4.5 million, and has been renting it out while living in New York away from Kerr, who remained in Los Angeles.

The separation follows Kerr's loss of the lucrative David Jones endorsement deal and her much feted role as a Victoria's Secret "angel".
