Miranda Kerr: Model opens up about traumatic experiences

Miranda Kerr (41) spoke unusually openly about private strokes of fate in a podcast. She spoke about the difficult loss of her first boyfriend, who died in a car accident. She also discussed a miscarriage that she suffered before becoming pregnant with her fourth child.

Kerr spoke about her youngest son Pierre, who was born in February 2024, being a “rainbow baby” and actually her fifth child: “I had a miscarriage, it was also a boy. My son is now technically my fifth boy “, reveals the 41-year-old. That’s why she is particularly grateful that he is healthy. She doesn’t care about gender at all. Each of her children has a very different personality and the pregnancies were also different. During her first pregnancy she was still “very naive”. With each successive baby she became “more knowledgeable” but also “more worried” that something could go wrong.

The 41-year-old also said that after the birth of her eldest son Flynn, 13, who she has with ex-husband Orlando Bloom, 47, she experienced difficulties with each of her pregnancies. So she has always had to stay in bed for the last few months. That’s why it was difficult for her to look after her other children.

The miscarriage wasn’t Miranda Kerr’s first loss. As a teenager, she lost her first boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook, in a car accident. His sudden death was an absolute shock, she recalls in the podcast. The drama changed her entire life. “If that hadn’t happened, I would be happily married to him and be a country bumpkin like I was back then,” she reflected. Through his death, she learned “to take nothing in my life for granted.”

In memory of their childhood sweetheart, their firstborn Flynn has the middle name Christopher. Miranda Kerr was married to actor Orlando Bloom from 2010 to 2013, who then had daughter Daisy (4) with singer Katy Perry (40). Kerr’s wedding to internet entrepreneur Evan Spiegel (34), CEO of Snapchat, followed in 2017. In addition to baby Pierre, the couple also has sons Hart (6) and Myles (5).
