Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry are backing off from the bitterness of their breakup, and it’s all due to the urging of his former wife, Miranda Kerr, sources tell the National Enquirer.
Insiders say the 42-year-old Australian model and beauty mogul has been quietly playing peacemaker behind the scenes for the Pirates of the Caribbean hunk and the “California Gurls” hitmaker.

The 48-year-old actor hit the singles scene immediately after he dropped his fiancée songbird like a hot potato following nine years together, frantically flirting with Sydney Sweeney and Kim Kardashian at the Bezos wedding in Venice.
His lack of sensitivity in moving on so soon after their split left Katy, 40, the mother of his daughter, Daisy, 5, devastated, and incensed her friends, sources say — so much so, he fled L.A. for the bachelor paradise of Miami.

Katy then turned the tables on her ex when she shared a romantic dinner with Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada, while she was on tour in Montreal.
As a mom, Miranda — who shares son Flynn, 14, with Orlando, and has three sons with her husband, Evan Spiegel — knows how important it is for Katy and Orlando to remain amicable for the sake of Daisy.
“After many years together and even more years as co-parents, Miranda has a deep understanding of Orlando,” says the source. “She’s also very friendly with Katy and has sympathy for what she’s going through with Orlando.”

According to our insider, “Miranda knows firsthand how tough he can be to deal with at times, so she’s in this unique position where she can almost be this mediator for them. She’s a big believer in the power of intention so she’s been pushing Orlando to get clear on how he wants this breakup to go, because the most important thing is that they stay on good terms for Daisy’s sake.”
“She’s been suggesting different therapists who might help them and checking in with both of them one-on-one to encourage forgiveness. She’s been a huge help as far as keeping the peace.”
