Thanksgiving 2025 offered a heartwarming glimpse into the evolving nature of celebrity families, as actor Orlando Bloom took to Instagram to share a rare, intimate moment with his children. The post, which featured Bloom with his 14-year-old son Flynn and 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, captured the trio smiling together on pumpkin-lined steps. Their faces, as per Bloom’s usual practice, were obscured by heart emojis—blue for Flynn, pink for Daisy—underscoring his commitment to preserving his children’s privacy even in moments of public celebration.
“A lot to be grateful for,” Bloom wrote alongside the image, a simple sentiment that seemed to resonate with fans and followers alike. The snapshot, posted on November 27, 2025, marks Bloom’s first Thanksgiving since his split with ex-fiancée Katy Perry, yet the mood was anything but somber. Instead, the photo radiated warmth, togetherness, and a sense of unity—qualities that, according to sources like People and E! News, have become hallmarks of Bloom’s approach to co-parenting.
Bloom’s family dynamic is, by Hollywood standards, refreshingly modern. He shares Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr and Daisy with Perry. Both women remain actively involved in the children’s lives, forming a collaborative parenting team that puts the kids’ needs front and center. As People reports, Bloom’s ex-partners are fully supportive of this arrangement. In fact, Miranda Kerr has been vocal about the importance of maintaining a united front, both for the sake of the children and for their own peace of mind.
During a November 2025 appearance on “Today With Jenna & Friends,” Kerr explained their co-parenting philosophy with characteristic candor: “Having love and respect for each other is so important,” she said. “Everyone’s human, and that’s important to really put the children first and what’s the best needs of the children and how do we make everyone feel accepted and loved.” She went on to add, “At the end of the day we’re all human and we’re all trying to be the best versions of ourselves. Why not be good examples for our children?”
This ethos isn’t just talk. In September 2025, Kerr shared a joyful photo of herself, Bloom, and Perry together, describing them as “one big happy family.” The image, as recounted by Kerr on the Kyle and Jackie-O Show, captured the trio with broad smiles, encapsulating the spirit of cooperation that defines their blended family. “Katy and I were talking to Orlando, and they were like, ‘Oh, let’s get a photo.’ It was kinda funny,” Kerr recalled. “Katy sent me the photo of Orlando and like his two exes on the side: Me and Katy. We all had such a big smile on our faces.”
Bloom’s Thanksgiving posts didn’t stop at the pumpkin-strewn steps. He also shared a candid shot of Daisy, dressed in a navy polka-dot dress, running toward the water on a sunny beach. Another update showed Bloom embracing his dog, further illustrating the actor’s focus on simple, genuine moments with loved ones. As Jang noted, Bloom is careful to keep his children out of the spotlight, frequently covering their faces in social media posts to protect their privacy while still sharing their joy.
The actor’s approach to co-parenting is far from unique in today’s celebrity circles. Increasingly, stars are choosing harmony over hostility in the wake of high-profile breakups. Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, for example, have publicly affirmed their commitment to raising daughter Khai together. “Co-parenting is good,” Malik said on the Call Her Daddy podcast in 2023. “We have a really good relationship for Khai. She’s the main importance. So yeah, it’s going well I think.” Hadid echoed the sentiment in The Sunday Times, emphasizing the importance of keeping the child’s happiness at the forefront.
Other celebrity parents have adopted similar philosophies. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin famously popularized the phrase “conscious uncoupling” and have remained steadfast in their commitment to family dinners and shared parenting duties. “Chris and I committed to putting them first, and that’s harder than it looks,” Paltrow told The Drew Barrymore Show in 2020. “Because some days, you really don’t want to be with the person that you’re getting divorced from. But if you’re committed to having family dinner, then you do it.”
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, who share three children, also stress the importance of shielding kids from parental conflict. Green told E! News in April 2024, “The number one [rule] is always make sure that everything is centered around the experience of the kids.” Fox, on a 2023 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, added, “I think it’s really important when people separate to never ever disparage the other parent or even in a passive aggressive way make remarks… Because if I don’t accept and love their father, I’m rejecting a part of them because he’s a part of who they are always.”
Miranda Kerr, for her part, has emphasized that the key to their co-parenting success is mutual respect and a shared commitment to the children’s well-being. She told The Drew Barrymore Show in 2020, “For Flynn to have a happy father and a happy mother, it’s just the most important thing. So I’m just so grateful that Orlando and Katy found each other and I’m so grateful that I found my incredible husband and just that we all really respect each other.”
Even in cases where emotions run high, celebrities like Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have managed to maintain a working co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children. “I want my kids to have beautiful relationships with their dad,” Kardashian told tmrw in January 2024, as reported by People. “And if we’re blessed enough to have a dad that wants to be there and wants to show up and be hands-on, why would I prevent that from happening?”
Ultimately, the trend toward amicable co-parenting in Hollywood reflects a broader cultural shift. While divorce and separation once spelled public acrimony and fractured families, today’s stars are modeling a different approach—one rooted in empathy, communication, and a steadfast focus on the next generation. As Orlando Bloom’s Thanksgiving celebration so vividly illustrated, love and gratitude can flourish even in the most unconventional of family arrangements, offering children the stability and support they need to thrive.
In a world where the spotlight is often harsh, these blended families are showing that it’s possible to rewrite the script—and that’s something truly worth celebrating.
