It’s expected that people will instantly hate their ex’s new partner – but in the case of Miranda Kerr and Katy Perry, the model likes the popstar more than her ex-husband.
Katy, 36, got engaged to Orlando Bloom on Valentine’s Day 2019 and they have since welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove, together.
Orlando, 44, was previously married to Victoria’s Secret model Miranda, 38, from 2010 and 2013, and they share a 10-year-old son Flynn.
While Miranda and Orlando remain close friends, the Aussie star has joked she loves his fiancee more than him.
The pair are often seen leaving supportive comments on each other’s Instagrams, and in April, Katy joined Miranda on a live stream to support her skincare brand KORA Organics.
Speaking on the podcast Moments with Candace Parker, Miranda said: ‘We go on holidays together. We celebrate all the important milestones together. I mean, I love [Katy]. I mean, it’d be safe to say that I love her more than Flynn’s dad.
‘But to me, right now, he’s like a brother. Most of the time an annoying brother. So she helps me deal with him, because she can deal with him, and I’m so grateful she’s there, because she takes the pressure off me.’

Speaking about the first time she met Katy, Miranda explained that Orlando had invited her over to his house in Malibu, and they instantly clicked.
She said: ‘We just immediately got along, and I saw how she was with Flynn. She was very playful with Flynn, she was not trying to be his mum. She was just being friendly and kind, and that’s all you can ask for.’
While Miranda referred to Orlando as her annoying brother, she said that she and the Pirates of the Caribbean star remain close friends post-divorce, ‘because we were able to communicate that the most important thing was Flynn’.
Miranda has since remarried, tying the knot with billionaire Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, 31, in 2017.
The couple share two sons, Hart, three, and one-year-old Myles.

Meanwhile, Katy has even more love for her husband-to-be since they welcomed their first child together, and said that seeing how good a father he was to Flynn made her fall for him.
Speaking on L’Officiel USA, the Roar singer said: ‘The way that he showed up for him and continues to show up for him, and the efforts that he makes and the distance he goes, I think that’s one of the reasons I made that conscious decision.

‘I was like, “Here’s the father of my future children.” I could see his kindness, empathy, care, and tenderness. I courted that. I was like, “Okay, this is different.”
‘And this is his first girl, so it’s a totally different feeling for him. I’m really, really grateful to have him. And he really shows up in a huge emotional way, which is unique for me.’
The popstar began dating the Carnival Row actor in 2016 and while they split up a year later, they reunited in February 2018 and got engaged a year later.
