bullet Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr 'expecting their first child' corner

English actor Orlando Bloom and his wife Australian model wife Miranda Kerr are expecting their first baby, a source has revealed.

"She's definitely pregnant. Miranda's thrilled," a source close to Kerr said.

"She's telling all her friends, mostly other models, about it," the source added.

The source said that although there will be no official announcement, news of the couple's first child would be hard to keep under cover, reports the US Magazine.

"She poses in lingerie. It will be obvious soon enough," the source said.

Kerr has not kept her desire for a child a secret.

"I have always been very open about wanting to be a mother one day. And I've always thought Orlando would be a great dad," Kerr told an Australian newspaper. (ANI)


bullet Orlando Echo corner
The Orlando Echo is essentially a local Orlando newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Orlando, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Orlando, Florida, United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Orlando Echo.
