Since Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom announced that they were separating, the world seems fascinated by their seemingly still-close relationship. Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar in the June issue – which those of you with a subscription the magazine should receive any day now – the model says it’s because they still care for one another.
“Well, we are very good. We speak every day,” she admits. “We’re really close, we’re going to be a family forever and we both really do love each other. We have genuine love and respect for each other. We’re very connected and I feel grateful for that. We created something beautiful together and we both remind ourselves how lucky we are to have that. And yeah, it’s good. He’s a great dad. I’m lucky.”
She has recently parted ways with Victoria’s Secret and says it was a difficult decision to make, but it ultimately came down to having more important commitments. “It was a big chunk of time that I wasn’t able to commit to because I’m a mother. I used to be in two different countries every single week. I made a conscious decision to shift gears,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m very much a people-pleaser at heart – I feel that if everyone else is happy, then I’m happy – but I’m learning the power of saying no and putting my foot down.”
The end of a marriage, becoming a single parent and giving up your main job can be quite scary, but rather than getting stressed, Kerr is rolling with the punches. “Everyone goes through challenging periods in their life. That’s inevitable and it’s part of being human. I feel like it’s a daily process to be positive. It’s something that’s a choice and I have different tools, like meditation, even prayer – my grandmother taught me to pray when I was young – and just finding that inner peace,” she says.
