Former Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr and actor Orlando Bloom have split. To some it may not come as much of a surprise, since their relationship has been dogged by break-up rumours for months. Regardless of the rumour mill it's sad news all the same.

Unlike Marc Jacobs and his partner Harry Louis, who announced the split on Instagram with an artsy photo, the pair decided to go down the usual A-list route with a statement issued by their representatives saying, "After six years together, they have recently decided to formalise their separation.

"Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family."

The pair began dating back in 2007, before marrying in secret three years later; Kerr gave birth to son Flynn in 2011.
