Melbourne, Jan 18 : Victoria''s Secret model Miranda Kerr, who has denied persistent rumours that she secretly got engaged to Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom, wants keep her personal life away from media.

"It is hard because you are always in the public eye but you just have to see it for what it is,'''' the Daily Telegraph quoted her, as saying.

"You''ve got to keep something sacred; do you know what I mean? Especially when so much of my life and my image is out there,'''' she added.

"I am not engaged and that is it!" Miranda Kerr told Hush last week, speaking of her relationship with Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom.

New York-based Kerr is due for a high-profile return home for the David Jones Autumn Winter Collection launch next month, headlining Venice-inspired catwalk shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

It was during the David Jones shoot in Venice that Bloom was first reported to have proposed to Kerr, who he has been dating for more than a year.

Despite her public denials, Kerr wants very much to settle down and has told her inner circle that she is planning to wed Bloom this year, according to Hush.

They are said to be planning a secret venue, Greg Norman and Chris Evert-style, and that an announcement will be made later in the year.

"She''s being very careful because it could hurt her career if it''s announced and something happens and the wedding doesn''t go ahead,'''' a source said. (ANI)
