There’s a new interview with Miranda Kerr in the latest Hello! Magazine. The 26 year-old Victoria’s Secret model is promoting her new organic skincare line, Kora, and a new book she has coming out called Treasure Yourself, which offers self esteem and beauty advice to teen girls. Miranda talks about her fitness and beauty routine and she sounds Goop-like in her devotion to organic food, yoga, and body brushing, which she explains “stimulates lymph flow.” (I also saw an interview with her where she says she starts her day with hot water and lemon, which is what Gwynnie swears by. It’s like these model/actresses all follow the same diet and exercise plan.)

In Hello!, Miranda poses for photos with her family at their house in Australia, and there’s even a very adorable picture of her in bed between her mom and grandmother, all of their smiling individual heads poking out from each side. The interview isn’t that remarkable but Miranda does shoot down the engagement rumors. Orlando Bloom isn’t off the market yet!

Did you spend Valentine’s Day with Orlando?
“I was in Australia and he was in Los Angeles shooting The Good Doctor, which he is starring in and producing. That’s really exciting for him. It’s a little bit sad I supposed but we really believe it’s important to celebrate your relationship every day, not just on Valentine’s Day.”

What qualities do you love about Orlando?
“I think Orlando is an incredible man and he’s a very genuine and authentic individual. I’m grateful that he’s in my life.”

Are you engaged?
“No, we’re not engaged. You can’t always believe everything you read!”

So what about the ring you were photographed wearing last May? Third finger, left hand?
“Oh that! [Laughs] We were in Cannes at the film festival and it was so hot that my fingers were swelling. I was wearing it on that finger because that’s the only one it would fit on. It was totally an innocent thing.”

That kind of attention must be frustrating…
“Yeah, it is, but so long as you know the truth, that’s all that matters.”

So Kerr’s explaination is that was hot and her fingers were swollen so she moved the ring to the ring finger of her left hand? She has another hand! People Magazine even speculated that they were engaged based on that ring. It doesn’t look like an engagement ring though from what I’ve seen and is just a simple band. Maybe she’s telling the truth and she’s not engaged, or maybe she keeps shooting Orly down as Kaiser guesses. These two have been together since the fall of 2007 when Kerr denied they were an item, saying “We’re just friends. We actually ran into each other by coincidence and then someone took a photo, turning a molehill into a mountain.” Yes and that wasn’t an engagement ring, right?

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr at a horse race in April
I really like British actor Orlando Bloom, 31, and Australian model Miranda Kerr, 25, together. They don’t flaunt their relationship and try to keep it low-key, and they seem genuinely fond of each other. They haven’t talked too openly about their relationship to the press, but they’ve been seen out together plenty of times and Kerr acknowledges that they’re together. In April Bloom attended a horse race with Kerr in Australia and met her family. When asked about her relationship with Bloom, Kerr said simply “we’re happy together and that’s it.” She is also quoted as calling Bloom her “sweetheart.”

There were rumors last week that the cute couple had split up, which Kerr’s publicist denied. Kerr was supposedly seen kissing her revolting ex boyfriend, Brandon Davis, at different clubs which prompted the breakup story. The National Enquirer says it’s not true that Kerr and Bloom have split and that they’re actually engaged and looking for an apartment together. I like this story a lot better:

Ironically, last week a report surface in a magazine claiming the couple had broken up. Not only was that report wrong, but Orlando was actually proposing at that time!

“Orlando’s been crazy in love with Miranda since they started dating – and he finally stepped up to the plate and asked her to marry him last week,” a close friend told The Enquirer…

Insiders say the couple is planning a Buddhist wedding ceremony, because they feel their faith brought them closer together.

“Since his proposal they’ve been looking at engagement rings on both coasts,” said the source.

They’re also looking for a larger apartment in New York so they can move in together.

In January Bloom visited Nepal near Tibet with the UN. He’s been a Buddhist for years and it makes sense that he would plan a Buddhist ceremony. Bloom also supports environmental causes and is involved with the Global Green organization.

We’ll have to see what happens with these two in time, but I hope it works out for them. They sure would make cute babies.

Orlando Bloom and Australian model Miranda Kerr made their first public appearance at a Sydney horse racing event on Saturday. Orlando was dressed up in a suit and tie while Miranda wore a black dress and a striking veiled hat. Miranda, 25, and Orlando, 31, also had lunch with her parents at a restaurant on Friday, according to People. Orlando was even seen hugging Miranda’s mom afterwards.

As for acknowledging their relationship, Miranda didn’t say if they were a couple, but she half-admitted it. The April 28 edition of People quotes her as saying “No one knows what will happen in the future. We’re happy together and that’s it.”

And on the now-forgotten rumor that Orlando was dating Jennifer Aniston, Miranda says “They’re friends. They have the same manager.” I picture her scrunching up her face and stating it matter-of-fact, as if she knows Orlando’s hers and doesn’t bother herself with such things.

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom are shown at the The Doncaster Day racing carnival at Royal Randwick Racecourse in
Sydney, Australia on 4/26/08, thanks to WENN and Splash. People has a posed photo of Miranda and Orlando together. They did show up together but weren’t posing for a lot of pictures.
