Your support makes all the difference.Miranda Kerr has described how she fell into a "bad depression” after her marriage to Orlando Bloom ended.
The model and actor began dating in 2007 and married a month after announcing their engagement in 2010.
Kerr says she is naturally a very positive, happy person and never fully understood what depression meant until she suffered it herself after she and Bloom split in 2013.
“When Orlando and I separated, I actually fell into a really bad depression,” she told Elle Canada. “I never understood the depth of that feeling or the reality of that because I was naturally a very happy person.”
Kerr said her depression began to improve after learning “that every thought you have affects our reality and only you have control of your mind”, saying daily meditation, yoga and healthy eating have all helped to keep her mindful.
The couple has presented a united front since their split and share custody of their five-year-old son Flynn. Earlier this year, Kerr said she moved from New York to California as Bloom had a house in Malibu and they “wanted to be close as a family".
Romantically, both Bloom and Kerr have both moved on. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor is in a relationship with Katy Perry and Kerr is engaged to Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel.
