Actor Orlando Bloom has spoken out about his divorce with Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr for the first time since his rep announced the news late Thursday evening (Oct. 24).

After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation. Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family," the rep said.
