DHAKA: Supermodel Miranda Kerr may have split from actor Orlando Bloom, but says they respect and understand each other.

The 30-year-old, who is on the cover of January-February edition of Harper’s Bazaar Australia magazine, opened up about her friendship with former husband, reports mirror.co.uk, according to dnaindia.com.

‘It’s difficult for anyone to go through a separation, whether it’s on a public scale or not. It was important for us long-term to preserve our friendship and the dynamic of being loving parents to Flynn (their two-year-old son), so we dealt with everything openly and honestly,’ she said.

‘We respect each other and with respect comes understanding. When there’s understanding, I guess everything is a little more harmonious,’ she added.
