Miranda Kerr, Orlando Bloom Remain 'United' for Son Amid James Packer Rumors
Miranda Kerr recently spoke out about Orlando Bloom amid reports claiming she has since moved on with Australian billionaire James Packer.
The former Victoria's Secret model, 30, revealed that while her separation from Bloom, 36, has been "difficult, " they choose to remain "united" for the sake of their 2-year-old son Flynn. The Hollywood couple announced their split after two years of marriage in October and last week Kerr was linked to Packer, 46.
"It's difficult for anyone to go through a separation, whether it's on a public scale or not. It was important for us long-term to preserve our friendship and the dynamic of being loving parents to Flynn so we dealt with everything openly and honestly," Kerr told Harper's Bazaar Australia magazine.

"Flynn is the most important thing in both our lives," she added. "And because we share that bond, we both feel it's important to be united."
The Australian model reportedly began growing closer to Packer in September after he announced his own split from wife of six-years, Erica. The Casino mogul is the son of the late media mogul, Kerry Packer.
"Miranda may come across as an Earth Mother but she loves the high life and James can provide the sort of lifestyle and security very few could give her," an alleged friend told Woman's Day magazine.
Kerr is yet to publicly address the dating rumors but sources claim she is very fond of Packer, who shares three children of his own with his estranged wife.
"I couldn't be happier for her – this year's been pretty difficult for Miranda. Her career seems to have hit a slump and she was totally devastated by the split," the insider said.
Packer is believed to have given Kerr business advice in recent years following the launch of her beauty products. Despite rumors of an alleged relationship, Kerr revealed that she still cares about Bloom, who was linked to actress Liv Tyler in recent days.
"We still love and care for each other deeply," she said.
Bloom is also yet to publicly address new reports about his love life however she appeared to share Kerr's sentiment while at the premiere of his new film "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug."
"We're a family and we'll always love each other and we're going to be in each other's lives," he told E! News. "What [Flynn] reads and knows about when he's grown up is more important to me than anything. We both love and cherish each other and then our boy, so it's great."
