Less than two weeks have passed since Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr announced their divorce. The news about the separation of one of the most beautiful and seemingly strong couples in show business was so unexpected that it had already generated the most unimaginable gossip - starting with the fact that the model cheated on her husband with 19-year-old Justin Bieber, and ending with the financial insolvency of the actor.
Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom
We don’t believe gossip and speculation, and we believe that, most likely, the couple’s relationship has simply outlived its usefulness. Unfortunately, even for the most beautiful, rich and successful, love also ends someday. But we tried to understand why this happens using examples of other people’s mistakes.
New love
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis
A little over a year ago, the public was similarly shocked by the news that the acting couple, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, had decided to separate. Fans of the couple did not immediately learn that Depp’s young colleague Amber Heard became “irreconcilable circumstances” in their 14-year marriage. Therefore, it is not a fact that in a couple of months we will not see Orlando in the brazen arms of a young fidgety girl. Moreover, the first rumors have already appeared in the press about the actor’s affair with his 26-year-old partner Condola Rashad, with whom Bloom shares the theater stage of the production of “Romeo and Juliet.” The news that Orlando and Condola have more than just a working relationship was first published by the British newspaper The Daily Mail, citing Bloom's close friend. According to him, the romance has been going on for several months, the lovers spend a lot of time together after performances, and often walk around New York at night to avoid being harassed by the paparazzi during the day. Orlando himself only adds fuel to the fire, giving ambiguous comments about the Broadway musical: “They start clapping for us after the first kiss. And sometimes it’s so hard for us to stop!”
Romance in revenge
Orlando first read in the newspaper that Miranda had been spotted in... However, the pictures in the press told a different story. In them, Bloom's wife coquettishly clung to the performer. Orlando was furious, but Miranda still managed to smooth over the conflict. As a sign of reconciliation, the couple went to South Africa, where they had a wonderful time. However, soon a new alarm sounded - Miranda began to actively communicate with Leonardo DiCaprio. Orlando believed that it had not yet come to the point of betrayal. But! Success has always attracted the model. At that moment, Kerr was more successful, which contradicted her principles. And yet, one can only guess about the main reasons for the breakup. When the couple's representative announced last October that the couple were getting a divorce, fans were shocked. After breaking up with Kerr, Bloom was replaced. Drinking, partying and frequent changes of girlfriends - the actor had fun to the fullest. At one party he even hit Justin Bieber. “I couldn’t resist,” Orlando admitted later. And upon learning that Miranda was having an affair with billionaire James Packer, Bloom went completely off the rails. In retaliation, he began dating James' ex-wife Erica Packer. True, the relationship quickly faded away. Fortunately, time heals. And today Orlando admits: “The actor has started acting again - he’s busy in several projects at once. But the main thing is that he sincerely believes that a meeting with new love is just around the corner.”

Strong connection!
“The girl who comes into my life will have to put up with the presence of her ex-wife and son. We will always be family,” says Orlando.
Super support!
In April, the actor received a star on the Walk of Fame. Little son Flynn was nearby!
The end is near!
Star handsome men Luke Evans and Orlando Bloom are facing a decisive battle (still from the film “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies”, on screens from December 11).
Miranda named the baby after her first love...
Reluctance to have a child
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
The public still cannot forgive Angelina Jolie for the breakdown of the marriage of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston in 2005. Although, as the actor has repeatedly stated, the reason for the breakup with Aniston was not Jolie, but the reluctance of his first wife to take a career break and have a child. Although Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom have a 2-year-old son, Flynn, they say that the actor always dreamed of a large family, while Miranda was ready to stop with one child and focus on a career that was just taking off.
In May, former Victoria's Secret angel Miranda Kerr married Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel. The chamber ceremony took place behind closed doors, but the model revealed several details of the wedding celebration specifically for Vogue.
In particular, it became known that the exquisite dress in the spirit of Grace Kelly was sewn by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the rings were carried by Kerr’s son from her first marriage, Flynn, and Miranda personally prepared the treat for her husband.
Contrary to the expectations of the press, for the wedding the fashion model wore a closed dress created by the masters of the Christian Dior couture studio. By the way, this was the first wedding dress sewn by Maria Grazia Chiuri as creative director of the House. According to Kerr, she met with the designer a month after Spiegel proposed to her and asked for help in making her plan come true. Curie agreed, and work began to boil. “A dress that completely covers the body gives a feeling of purity and mystery,” the model explained her choice, adding that her style icons have always been Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and... her grandmother: “Even at 80, she looks elegant: trousers, white a blouse, some kind of scarf, low heels.” Miranda added that over the years of working in the fashion industry she had a lot of fun and now wants to look more respectable. “There was a period when I dressed boldly, wildly, bohemianly, but now I’ve calmed down a little.”

As a result, the luxurious satin dress, decorated with lily of the valley appliqués, was inspired by the wedding look of Grace Kelly, who married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956. According to Maria Grazia Chiuri, sewing a wedding dress for Kerr was not difficult, because she has ideal proportions on which any clothing “sits”: “She wanted something fabulous! Her idea was for the dress to be both simple and dramatic."
In fact, the ceremony itself fits this description perfectly - the intimate celebration, which united only 45 closest guests, was held in the strictest confidence, and the invitees were forbidden to post photos on social networks (even on Snapchat!). The lovers began their special day by doing yoga together and only after that began to prepare for the celebration. The bride appeared at the altar to Arvo Pärt's composition "Spiegel im Spiegel" and shed a tear during the exchange of vows. Kerr's son from her first marriage to actor Orlando Bloom, 6-year-old Flynn, carried the rings and even took part in the newlyweds' first dance. Miranda cooked her husband his favorite dish - chicken with turmeric and lemon, and the guest chef repeated this recipe as a treat for the rest of the guests.

After the official part was over, Kerr and Spiegel changed into less formal outfits (naturally, also under the Dior label) and continued the celebration in the format of a karaoke party, where their favorite world hits were played. The couple's honeymoon took place in Fiji, but that, as they say, is a completely different story.
Inconsistency with work schedule
Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci
This summer, another one of the most beautiful and charismatic star unions broke up - the marriage of Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel. The couple spent fourteen years trying to balance their filming schedules, living in two countries - France and Italy. As a result, realizing that it was simply impossible to live like this, the actors made the difficult decision to leave. It was the busy schedule, which did not allow him to spend enough time with his family, that Orlando Bloom called the main reason for his divorce from Kerr: “You know, when two people are very busy and at the same time famous personalities, it is very difficult to maintain the same schedule and the same standard of living . This is a real test."
How it all began
Orlando Bloom asked the singer to become his wife on the eve of Valentine's Day. They have been dating for over three years. They met the year the actor broke up with Kerr, at one of the charity events. But then they did not experience romantic feelings for each other. Everything happened much later, and it was spontaneous. The spark ignited at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards. The two stars flirted openly, laughed and danced. By the way, that dance was remembered by the public for a long time and was recognized as the best performance at the Globe after-party. Since then, the actor and singer have been inseparable. They admit that sometimes their relationship resembles a roller coaster: there were ups and downs. But who doesn’t it happen to?! Every couple has to go through this sooner or later. Both friends and fans of the couple notice that the lovers are very similar in character, charming and energetic. They are not bored together, they travel together, take part in various events.

Professional jealousy
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony
The third marriage of Jennifer Lopez, unhappy in her personal life, with Marc Anthony was irrevocably destroyed after seven years of marriage due to the fact that the press and the whole world identified Mark as “JLo’s husband,” while he himself is a popular musician. singer, composer and actor. Alas, behind the singer’s sparkling costumes and her noble forms, no one really saw Mark’s numerous talents, and this greatly hurt his manhood. In the case of Bloom and Kerr, not everything is so obvious, but Orlando has not achieved obvious success since the days of The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. But his more active wife, after leaving Victoria's Secret, became even more in demand in the modeling business and is already making plans for an acting career, where she may well surpass her ex.
Angel of Discord
Duels have long been prohibited by law in most countries of the world. However, a reason as old as time and in the 21st century is capable of forcing representatives of the stronger sex to defend their honor and dignity, if not with weapons in their hands, then at least with their fists. The most relevant reason for a fight at all times is a woman. For example, such as Miranda Kerr.
Orlando Bloom and top model Miranda Kerr got married in 2010, and in 2011 they became the parents of their first child, who was named Flynn. However, in 2012, reporters caught the model flirting backstage with Justin Bieber, who visited the fashion show.
The deceived husband already harbored a grudge. In addition, rumors that the model and singer were spending time together only flared up. As a result, in 2013 the couple announced their intention to divorce. The media blamed Miranda for the collapse of the social unit. Bloom, of course, was also not without sin, but his mutual hatred with Bieber has since become something taken for granted.
After the divorce, Miranda Kerr began dating 46-year-old Australian gambling magnate James Packer. Moreover, for the sake of his beautiful compatriot, Packer abandoned his wife and three children. This caused such indignation by his best friend and head of the Australian television company David Gaingell that a heated discussion of broken family happiness escalated into a fight on a Sydney beach - graying gentlemen rolled on the sand, calling each other bad names. As a result, both were arrested and sentenced to a fine of 500 Australian dollars.

According to the 19th century dueling code, Justin Bieber committed so-called third-degree insult against Orlando Bloom. This was considered the most serious action affecting honor and reputation; this category included, among other things, hints of adultery. If Bloom had lived in those days, he could have chosen the type of weapon, type of duel and distance.
All this time, Bloom and Kerr continued friendly communication in the interests of their common child and even made statements in the spring of 2014 about a possible reunion. Moreover, the vengeful Bloom even managed to start a relationship with Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, but the relationship did not last long. A few days ago, fate brought the enemies together at the Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza. It is unknown who started the conflict, but the exchange of pleasantries resulted in a brawl. Subsequently, the press services of the stars unanimously accused the representative of the hostile side of being “the one who started it first.” However, witnesses to the incident confirmed that the fight was because Bieber insulted Miranda Kerr.
Miranda Kerr was not the first Australian to conquer the world's catwalks and earn the right to be called a top model - Elle Macpherson was the pioneer. However, Kerr's success story was no less impressive.
Modeling business specialists noticed teenage Miranda in the late 1990s, after her victory at the Australian National Competition for Young Models. After working a little in her native country, the girl began to receive more and more tempting offers and already in 2004 she signed an agreement with the New York modeling agency Next. There she signed contracts with the brands Billabong, Levi's, Rock and Republic, Blumarine Swimwear, Roberto Cavalli. The legendary department store Neiman Marcus wanted to work with her, and then the cosmetics giant L'Oreal.
The icing on the cake for Miranda was the contract with the Victoria's Secret brand, signed in 2007. Working for VS put Kerr on a par with Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima and other highly paid models.

Victoria's Secret models advertising lingerie, swimsuits, clothing and cosmetics are called “angels” because at the brand’s fashion shows they invariably parade with huge, luxuriously decorated wings.

Then Kerr received offers from the aristocracy of the fashion world: Prada, Balenciaga, Loewe, Chanel, Christian Dior - everyone wanted to see the seductive Australian on their catwalks. Her face graced the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Instyle, and her body graced GQ spreads. All this could not but have a positive impact on the fees.
For several years, Miranda has been consistently in the top ten best-earning models according to Forbes. Even after losing her contract with VS in 2013 (according to rumors, the brand terminated the contract due to the difficult nature of the model), Kerr feels quite well financially. In 2014, she was in tenth place in the Forbes ranking with three and a half million dollars.
The start of Miranda's career coincided with a surge in fashion business interest in “unconventional beauty.” Tired of the perfection of the 90-60-90 standard and the ideal faces of the top models of the 90s, the industry was looking for non-trivial heroines who would be attractive, but a little imperfect, and therefore closer and more understandable to the female audience.

Kerr, with her imperfect parameters (81-61-86 cm), snub nose and wide-set eyes, fits perfectly with: Natalia Vodianova, Kate Moss, Lily Cole, Lara Stone, Georgia May Jagger, Devon Aoki. Well, success with men and a place on the Forbes list as two indicators of demand suggest that it is too early for the 31-year-old model to retire.
Did not get along
Heidi Klum and Seal
A year and a half ago, Miranda's colleague on the catwalk, model Heidi Klum, also suddenly announced her decision to file for divorce. Their union with the singer Sil, which was considered ideal, could not overcome difficulties even for the sake of four children. As the beauty later admitted, the stumbling block was the intolerable character of the dark-skinned musician - it turns out that Heidi and the children suffered from attacks of Seal’s uncontrollable anger. We, of course, don’t think that handsome Orlando is capable of something like that, but who knows - perhaps he, too, has secret character traits that Kerr has never been able to come to terms with.
