Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr were reportedly in a "loveless marriage" for the last two years.
The A-list couple married in 2010 but were reportedly struggling to keep the romance alive in their union well before they announced their split on Friday (25.10.13) with pals close to the pair all agreeing they hadn't been on the same page since the end of 2011.
One friend saying, "Miranda felt that Orlando's filming schedule was too difficult to balance with family life. But in the end he felt that she was too tied to work commitments in New York. Something had to give."
Olando, 36, and Miranda, 30, allegedly tried to keep their marriage from crumbling on three occasions for the sake of their two-year-old son, Flynn, but ultimately felt staying together would be a "sham".
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Everyone in Hollywood knew they were no longer a couple. They weren't living together and the spark has gone. They fell out of love long before they were prepared to accept the marriage was over.
"At times they'd keep up appearances while they were out and about, but it was a bit of a sham."
The couple admitted in a statement they have been "amicably separated" for six months and to add to the fiasco, just hours after the announcement was made, Orlando gushed about kissing his co-star, Condola Rashad, in a new Broadway production of 'Romeo and Juliet'.
