Orlando Bloom posted the sweetest birthday message to ex-wife Miranda Kerr

Even when a romantic relationship dissipates, there are still tons of ways to remain close. We just heard that Orlando Bloom wished ex-wife Miranda Kerr a happy birthday (she turned 34 yesterday — happy birthday, girl!) and the message he posted to her on Instagram is super sweet and creative.

The two divorced a few years ago, but co-parent their son Flynn (who is already six…time flies). Given our affection for birthdays, we’re happy to report that Kerr had a fabulous celebration complete with cake, candles, and gorgeous flowers.

First things first: Here is the message that Bloom posted for her special day:

"🎁#HAPPY BIRTHDAY🎂to an amazing mother🙏🏻co-parent 👊🏻and friend🎈," he wrote in the caption.

Putting that wooden message board together must have taken some work! Awwwwww. This guy.

And here’s the other b-day love Kerr received! CAKE.

AND MORE CAKE.

And a birthday song!

Although we wish we’d been there in person, we’re happy to get this glimpse into the festivities. We’re super happy for Kerr, who is engaged to Evan Spiegel, the founder of Snapchat. They look like a great team.

It’s can definitely be hard to remain cordial with an ex, but it’s entirely possible — and especially important if there are kids involved. Thanks for showing us how it’s done, Orlando.

And again, HBD Miranda!
