Miranda Kerr fuels marriage split rumours by ditching her wedding ring

The model posted a photo of her hand - sans wedding ring - on New Year's Eve

Miranda Kerr has fuelled rumours that her marriage to Orlando Bloom is on the rocks after posting a photo of her hand, minus her wedding ring.

The couple, who married in 2010 and have one-year-old Flynn together, have been facing speculation that their marriage is in trouble for a few weeks now.

A rumour Miranda did nothing to quash when she posted a snap to her Instagram account on New Year's Eve of her hand minus her wedding ring.

Along with the picture, she wrote: 'Good morning xxx.'

The model, 29, was recently forced to dismiss reports that her marriage was 'on the rocks', saying that she had spent two months on set with her actor husband as he filmed in South Africa.

The couple were also seen together with their adorable son on Boxing Day - and Miranda notably had her wedding ring firmly on her manicured hand.

Despite numerous online comments from her fans, following the new photo, Kerr has not yet clarified why her ring is missing.
