Miranda Kerr, pictured in Beverly Hills yesterday, named her son after her late boyfriend

Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr has revealed that named her seven-month-old son after her late boyfriend.

Baby Flynn Christopher was in part named after the model's childhood sweetheart, Christopher Middlebrook, who died in a tragic car accident when he was just a teenager.

Speaking to Australia's Daily Telegraph, the 28-year-old said: 'After he died, I wrote him a letter that said I hoped to name my first child after him in some way.'

'I told Orlando and he was the one who said he'd be happy to do that.'

Kerr then praised Bloom for being a 'good guy'.

The Victoria's Secret model had previously recalled her heartache in her book, Treasure Yourself, which was released earlier this year.

She wrote: 'We had been dating for two years, and I had just left Gunnedah [a remote town New South Wales, Australia] and moved to Brisbane when he was killed instantly in a car accident and all of a sudden it felt as though my world had fallen apart.

'Although we were only young, we had both talked about spending the rest of our lives together. I felt as if my heart had been ripped from my chest and I didn’t know what to do.'

'Chris’ death taught me that the people who touch your life are always with you.

'It taught me that I have the choice to be grateful for the time I had with him instead of dwelling on losing him.'

Kerr is still in touch with Middlebrook’s family.

The Victoria's Secret model married Bloom in July last year after three years together. Their first child was born on January 6, 2011.
