Demi Moore 'uplifted by Orlando'

Demi Moore loves rumoured new beau Orlando Bloom’s “uplifting influence”, according to reports.

The Ghost actress is apparently dating the British star after being introduced by mutual friend Jennifer Aniston.

Both stars have been single for a while but sources say that despite the 14 year age gap, Demi can’t help but be attracted to the 38-year-old.

“The thing Demi loves most about Orlando is how positive he is,” a source told British magazine Grazia. “His uplifting influence is just what she feels she needs.”

Demi, 52, is no stranger to age-gap relationships, having been married to Ashton Kutcher, 37 for six years before announcing their separation in 2011. Their divorce was finalised in November 2013.

Former Friends star Jennifer reportedly saw a good match for Demi in Orlando, and went about making it happen.

“Jen organised a double date at her place with [her fiancé] Justin [Theroux],” an insider told British title Heat. “Things went well, so she suggested Orlando and Demi did a private yoga class together. Orlando was up for it and Demi couldn’t say no. It all started there.”

The Lord of the Rings actor was previously married to supermodel Miranda Kerr, but they announced their separation in October 2013. It seems the hunky actor is thrilled to have found someone he has so much in common with in Demi.

“They’re both deeply spiritual characters who love yoga, meditation and new-age philosophies,” the source added to Grazia. “They’ve both been initiated into spiritual practice Usui Reiki and have started to practise on each other.”

While they add that the relationship is casual and not yet exclusive, the Heat insider told the publication that Orlando is planning a trip for his new love interest.

“Orlando wants to take Demi to a Buddhist retreat in India next month,” they said. “She’s excited about it.”
