Orlando Bloom was seen out in public holding British model Laura Paine's hand last weekend. Miranda Kerr now addresses recent rumors regarding her ex-husband's new love interest.

The former Victoria's Secret supermodel, who has 3-year-old son Flynn with the "Lord of the rings" actor, insisted that the pair is nothing more than just friends. "They're just friends," she said. "They've been friends for years."

Bloom and Paine, both from Oxfordshire, were photographed linking arms while out in west London. The couple seemed quite cozy with one another as they went for dinner and drinks with two other people, a man and a woman, at Little House in Mayfair. After dinner, the two took a taxi together to catch a late showing at Vue Cinema in Westfield Shopping Center.

Kerr claimed that she and Bloom had been in touch since the photos of him and Paine surfaced online. "We spoke about it, we speak every day," she said. "It's fine." She also revealed that she is often romantically linked to people she is just friends with, as well. "People try to put me together with people I've been friends for years," said Kerr. "As long as I know the truth and people close to me know the truth, that's all that matters."

"At the end of the day I can't be phased by other people's opinions, and people are entitled to their opinion," the 31-year-old model continued. Miranda Kerr added that she had even been linked to people she barely knows. "Someone linked me with Brad Pitt, I've spoken to him once in my whole life." she said.

Meanwhile, Orlando Bloom was thought to have been dating actress Nora Arnezeder when they were seen together on a date at a Los Angeles bar in January. Ever since the split from Kerr, the British actor has been linked to his "Romeo & Juliet" co-star Condola Rashad, Liv Tyler, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift.
