Handful: Miranda Kerr held on tight to her little treasure Flynn as she left a hair salon in West Hollywood today

It looked like Miranda Kerr had been left holding the baby yet again as she left the hair salon with her baby Flynn.

But chivalrous Orlando Bloom made sure he took his turn so she could have some time to herself in plush Beverly Hills today.

But Lord of the Rings actor Orlando made sure she got the time to enjoy some quiet time alone when he took his boy while she ran some errands.

And it looks like the Calcium Kid star is feeding his son plenty of milk as the baby, who weighed almost 10 pounds when he was born in January, continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Miranda took advantage of the opportunity to make a phone call and looked stunning in a flowing ankle length floral dress which showed off her enviable post-baby figure.

Orlando was returning the favour after kind Miranda looked after the baby while he had a laid-back day of fun yesterday.

The 34-year-old was spotted riding his motorbike in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles.

And he was spotted the night before enjoying a slap-up meal with chums at a local restaurant.

It was recently been confirmed that Orlando will be reprising his role as the elf Legolas in The Hobbit: An Unexpected journey, which is currently shooting in New Zealand.

'Give ME the epidural!' Orlando Bloom struggled to deal with seeing me in pain during labour, reveals Miranda Kerr

By Andrea Magrath


Painful for some: Miranda Kerr has revealed that her husband Orlando Bloom asked if he could get an epidural during the birth of their son Flynn


For many soon-to-be fathers, watching their partners go through labour and feeling helpless is tormenting.

Miranda Kerr has revealed that her husband Orlando Bloom came up with a novel way for him to be able to deal with seeing her in so much pain during the birth of their baby Flynn.

As his wife had refused drugs, the actor suggested that he could perhaps have an epidural instead.

Big baby: Miranda says she didn't expect Flynn, who weighed in at over 10lbs, to be such a big baby and admits she was 'crazy' to go without an epidural


In a revealing interview with Australian television program Sunday Night, the supermodel discussed her previously revealed stance on having a natural birth.

'I had made the decision to not have any drugs, no epidural, nothing,' the 28-year-old said.

'Each to their own. I'm crazy for doing that! A lot of my friends who have had epidurals have said, "Oh (labour) was so great".'

Asked if her resolve wavered at any point during the labour, she admitted: 'I remember looking at Orlando and saying "Oh honey."'

'And he said, "Give me the epidural! Seriously, if you don't want it I'll take it because right now I'm dying watching you go through this pain".'

'I didn't realise (Flynn) was going to be such a big baby.'

Not love at first sight: Miranda says it was Orlando's 'persistence' that finally won her over, and that she was reluctant to date a movie star


Miranda also revealed that it was not love at first sight when she met Orlando, 34.

'I think it was his persistence,' she said. 'Maybe he wanted me because he thought he couldn't have me.'

Asked if his movie star status put him off, she admitted: 'I was reluctant - not about him, but the idea of that (him being a movie star).'

It was during the Sunday Night interview that Miranda revealed the tragic inspiration behind Flynn's middle name.

Growing brood? She says she 'always thought I'd have three children,' but wants to focus on Flynn for now


Close to tears, the Australian model as she discussed her teenage boyfriend Christopher, who died in a car accident shortly after Miranda moved to Brisbane from their country town of Gunnedah.

Miranda said: 'He was my first love. We were young and we talked about everything; having kids and getting married.

'He died so instantly. It was quite a shock.

'I wrote him a letter after he died, saying I would name my first child after him and that is what I have done. 'Orlando was very kind and understanding. He said if you want, you can do that.'

Tribute: Miranda named Flynn after him, giving the baby Christopher as a middle name


She said she thought Christopher would be proud of her if he were still alive.
Right now, Miranda rates her life as: 'ten-out-of-ten happy.'

As to having more children, Miranda said: 'I always thought I would have three. Right now I'm just trying to enjoy Flynn.

'They say the first three years are the most important, so I want to make sure that he gets the attention and the nurturing and love that he really needs. so we'll see what happens.
