Co-parenting has always been a skill. But it can be even harder when a couple has to make it happen after a breakup, just so their babies can have a sense of normalcy in their lives. However, there are some former couples who manage to turn it into a success story. Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom continue to be one of those pairs.
They have worked very hard to develop a steady and respectful rhythm while raising their son. In a recent conversation, Kerr opened up about this scenario. She also talked about the boundaries that help the former couple keep their co-parenting dynamic supportive and drama-free.
Miranda Kerr reveals how she keeps co-parenting with Orlando Bloom ‘harmonious’ and ‘peaceful’
Miranda Kerr recently appeared on an episode of the We Need to Talk podcast with Paul C. Brunson. This is where the model opened up about her life with her son, Flynn. She also discussed how she keeps things “harmonious” while co-parenting with her ex, Orlando Bloom. She also added how she felt like it was important to forgive and forget the past before trying to embark on a successful co-parenting journey.
Kerr explained, “From day one, Orlando and I had done a lot of spiritual work, and forgiveness was a big part of that, forgiving each other, forgiving ourselves, creating peace within the situation. And we both knew that the relationship was not bringing out the best in each other.” She further added, “So when we made that decision to separate, I said to him, ‘Let’s always put the needs of Flynn first.”
Kerr further elaborated on this thought by saying, “Like, let’s not make it about us. Let’s make it about what’s in the best interest of Flynn. But at the same time, let’s make sure that we completely forgive each other, make peace with each other, because otherwise it really weighs on you.” When asked about the motivation behind this, she explained how she already made peace with the fact that Bloom would have to be a part of their life. After all, he is Flynn’s dad.
Discussing how familial peace matters, Kerr said, “When you have a child with someone else, they’re always going to be that person’s parent for the rest of their life, and there are going to be situations when you’re going to need to talk, if you like it or not. So why not make it harmonious? Why not make it more peaceful?”
