Miranda Kerr: Divorce plunged me into depression

Model Miranda Kerr has revealed the significant mental health toll her public divorce from actor Orlando Bloom took on her. Speaking on a podcast, Kerr described the separation as a challenging time that plunged her into a state of depression, which was unusual for her naturally joyful disposition.

Kerr reflected that the end of her marriage was difficult, but she recognized it as the right decision. She and Bloom have since maintained a close and friendly relationship, consistently putting their son Flynn's well-being above their own needs. Kerr hopes their co-parenting approach serves as a positive example for others navigating similar situations.

To cope with the emotional aftermath, Kerr embraced meditation, yoga, and introspection. She described a disconnect between her mind's understanding of the decision and her body's reaction, acknowledging the need to feel and process her emotions rather than immediately trying to fix them. Forgiveness and self-compassion were vital to her healing and liberation.

Kerr has since married Evan Spiegel in 2017 and has three more children. Orlando Bloom also has a daughter with Katy Perry. The couple's divorce was announced in October 2013, with their son Flynn born in January 2011.
