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.

Miranda Kerr grateful for Orlando's birth support

Miranda Kerr says she couldn't have given birth without husband Orlando Bloom.

The Victoria's Secret model welcomed baby son Flynn into the world on January 6 and while the labour was tough, Miranda was grateful her spouse was by her side supporting her.

She said: "I gave birth to him naturally; without any pain medication and it was a long, arduous and difficult labour, but Orlando was with me the whole time supporting and guiding me through it. I could not have done it without him."

Miranda, 27, admits she and 33-year-old Orlando - who she married in July 2010 after a short engagement - are besotted with their son, who weighed 9lb 12oz.

She wrote in her blog for the KORA Organics website: "We are so happy and are enjoying our time together as a family. He is our little ray of sunshine. Thank you everyone for your beautiful well wishes and your lovely thoughts."

Little Flynn's arrival has thrilled all of Miranda and Orlando's family with the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star's mother Sonia Bloom recently saying she is "buzzing with happiness".

She said: "It's fantastic news. I'm a grandmother for the first time and I couldn't be any happier. It's a baby boy and we are all just over the moon.

"Miranda did fantastically and is doing very well now. She and Orlando are delighted. It's just brilliant news and I am on cloud nine. We are all just so happy and everything has gone so smoothly. I'm buzzing with happiness. It's fantastic."

Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr ‘engaged’

If reports are to be believed, Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom has secretly got engaged to his model girlfriend Miranda Kerr in Morocco.

According to Woman’s Day magazine, Kerr's brother Matthew has confirmed the news.

"He's finally done it. Orlando has proposed. They're getting married,".

Last month, rumours were making rounds that the couple, who has been dating for the past two years, were going through a rough patch after reports said that Bloom and fellow actor Jennifer Aniston are more than just friends.

However, it was quickly denied, and Bloom and Kerr were the picture-perfect couple at the reopening of La Mamounia hotel in Marrakesh and then at the opening of Vdara Hotel & Spa in Las Vegas.
