• Miranda Kerr says her breakup with Orlando Bloom revealed they weren’t bringing out the best in each other.

H2: Miranda Kerr on realizing the relationship wasn’t healthy

Miranda Kerr told the We Need to Talk podcast on Feb. 3 that she and Orlando Bloom reached the difficult conclusion that their relationship was “not bringing out the best in each other.” The pair divorced in 2013 after six years together and three years of marriage.

Kerr said the decision to separate came with a commitment: to always put the needs of their son Flynn first. “Let’s always put the needs of Flynn first,” she told Bloom when they split, she recalled on the podcast.

H3: Forgiveness and spiritual work shaped co-parenting

Kerr said both parents did “a lot of spiritual work” to repair their dynamic. That work included a focus on forgiveness — forgiving each other and themselves — and creating peace for the sake of their child.

“When you have a child with someone else, they’re always going to be that person’s parent for the rest of their life,” Kerr said, stressing why making the relationship harmonious mattered beyond their romantic chapter.

H3: Boundaries improved after she met Evan Spiegel

Kerr also discussed how her approach to boundaries changed after she met her husband, Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel. She admitted that after her split from Bloom she was often overly accommodating and struggled to set limits around last-minute changes.

“My husband has good boundaries,” she said. Spiegel helped her become clearer and firmer — for example, apologizing when plans had to change but standing by the agreed schedule when necessary.

H2: A positive place now — and putting Flynn first

Today Kerr described her relationship with Bloom as friendly and respectful. The model said she recently wished him a happy birthday and the exchange included mutual appreciation for their parenting. “He told me ‘thank you to me for being such a wonderful mother to Flynn,’” Kerr recalled, adding that she returned the sentiment.

Both parents now share blended-family responsibilities: Orlando is also a father to daughter Daisy with Katy Perry, and Kerr and Spiegel have sons Hart, Myles and Pierre. Kerr emphasized that when special occasions require all adults to come together, they prioritize Flynn’s well-being and work out compromises that serve the whole family.
