Bloom and Kerr, who have a son together, separated in early 2013 after three years of marriage.

In April, Bloom was photographed with Bieber’s on-again, off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez.

According to reports, Bloom and Bieber were at Cipriani in Ibiza, Spain when Bloom rebuffed a handshake from Bieber. The singer then allegedly said “something rude” about Kerr.

A heated exchange followed, according to reports. Whether Bloom’s punch made contact with Bieber is subject to differing accounts.

According to one report, Bieber later tweeted a photo of Kerr but quickly deleted it.
