Orlando Bloom Opens Up About His 'Odd' Relationship With Rumored New Girlfriend Whose Ex Was Linked To HIS Ex!

Orlando Bloom is a lover, not a fighter. Usually anyway.
Just a few months after his split with Miranda Kerr, he’s been linked to everyone from Selena Gomez to Nina Dobrev.
But no one quite so definitive as Erica Packer, with whom he shared a romantic getaway in Formentera last month.
But the strange thing is, Erica is the ex of James Packer, the billionaire with whom Miranda has been romantically linked!
Orlando knows the relationship is a little complex from the outside, but he says things couldn’t be simpler. He says:

“I’ve known Erica since I was 19 back in London. I’ve known Erica before she was married to James, when she was married to James and afterwards and we are all mates. It probably looks odd but we are all mates, we have all known each other for a long time.”

Really?? All just friends?
Because it certainly looks like more than that! Is he SURE they’re not dating?? Orlando says:

“No, I’ve known Erica for a long time, we are great mates. She is a great girl.”

Wow, so all friends? That would make everything SIMPLER, though we’re not sure if it would be any less awkward.
