Miranda celebrated her son Flynn's birthday by posting a rare photo to Instagram. The snap was a throwback from when he was just a toddler, walking hand in hand with mum along the water.

"Happy 11th Birthday to my little sunshine Flynn!" Miranda wrote on Instagram. "You have filled my heart with joy from the very moment you were born. I’m so proud of how kind, creative and thoughtful you are. You inspire me every day."

Though it was a throwback photo to when Flynn was younger, it’s one of only a handful of images the model mum has shared of her son.

Miranda and Orlando - who were married for three years from 2010 to 2013, and welcomed Flynn in January 2011 - do not share photos of their son’s face.

Instead, the friendly exes will only occasionally share a photo of Flynn where his face isn’t visible – the most recent being of Orlando walking alongside Flynn and his new partner, Katy Perry, in a park.

"Family LOVE," he captioned the snap.

Together with Miranda’s husband, Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel, the foursome are a tight-knit group of co-parents to Flynn. Miranda also welcomed her sons, Hart and Evan, in 2018 and 2019 respectively, while Katy gave birth to her first child, Daisy Dove, in 2020.

"The kids are my number one love, it's just the best thing in the world, being a mum," Miranda said in an interview with Katy on her Instagram page last year.

Katy added: "It's the best job. It's the most fulfilling, there was no feeling like the feeling when I had my daughter. That was like all the love I was ever searching for what like 'Bam.'"

The most recent photo of Flynn, posted by Orlando, showed how much he's grown.

Miranda also spoke about her bond with Katy on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2020, saying she was “so grateful” Orlando had found her.

“I adore Katy and I just feel so happy that Orlando has found someone that makes his heart so happy, because at the end of the day, for Flynn to have a happy father and a happy mother is just the most important thing,” she told Drew.

“I'm just so grateful that Orlando and Katy found each other and I'm so grateful that I found my incredible husband and just that we all really respect each other.”

She also revealed they try to spend as many milestones – like birthdays – celebrating together.

“When it comes to special occasions, when we have to be together, we work it out so we have compromises [about] what is the best for our whole family,” she added.

“We really do always think of what is the best thing for Flynn, and I just think that's the most important thing.”

We love to see their special family bond!
