Orlando Bloom is doing co-parenting right with his sweet note to ex-wife Miranda Kerr.

 

Actor Orlando Bloom married Aussie Miranda in 2010 and the couple split three years later. They have one child together, six-year-old Flynn Christopher Bloom.

 

The Pirates of the Caribbean star praised Kerr for being a 'wonderful mother and great friend' in an Instagram post which sees Flynn hugging an ad that features his supermodel mum.

 

The term 'coparent' or "co-parent" means: 'a situation where two parents work together to raise a child even though they are divorced, separated or no longer living together'. 

 

Alongside an Instagram photo of his son hugging the poster, he wrote: “We came across this billboard in China while he was visiting me on set. He loves his mum and what’s not to love — she’s a wonderful mother, a great friend and co-parent. So blessed and grateful.”

 

 

Bloom is proving that co-parenting can be done right. He's often quick to praise Kerr's skills as a mother. Just three weeks ago, he posted a photo of Flynn's present to Miranda for her 34th birthday with the caption: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To an amazing mother, co-parent and friend.”

 

Bloom has been open about his experience raising Flynn with Kerr in the past. “’Miranda and I have a remarkable relationship. We co-parent really well,” he told Elle in April.

 

We think it's great that Bloom and Kerr have shown nothing but respect for each other while they raise their child. 

 

 

Last month, we wrote a story about divorced parents who make it a time-honoured tradition to take a photo with their son.

 

Photographer mum Victoria Baldwin spoke about the importance of putting your child first, even if you and the other parent aren't together anymore.

 

"Adam and I are not perfect co-parents, but we made a deal when we got divorced, to put our son first. So yes, we still have a family portrait taken, and I still pay good money to have the images printed, framed, and placed in our son's bedroom.

 

"He may not grow up with parents who live in the same house... but he will grow up to see respect, kindness, empathy, compassion, perseverance, flexibility, and even sacrifice being modelled by both of his parents and he will know it is possible to fall out of love but never fall apart."
