After weeks of speculation about tensions between Katy Perry and her longtime partner Orlando Bloom, the two have reportedly split. And while the news has yet to be confirmed, TMZ is reporting that he’s ready to make “his debut as a single man.”
Where, might you ask? According to the outlet, Bloom will be partying it up at Amazon founder Jeff Bezos‘ wedding to Lauren Sánchez this week. The nuptials, which will take place in Venice, Italy, will surely gather some of Hollywood’s elite, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey and Mick Jagger.
And, given that Perry and Bloom have become close friends with Bezos and Sánchez, they also scored an invite. Perry, however, won’t be able to attend as she’s in the middle of her music tour for her album, 143. So, Bloom will be attending in a major way instead.
“[Bloom is] the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard!” the source told TMZ of the actor’s plans.
“90% of the people at the wedding are kinda boring, but 10% are really fun, including Orlando, Leo and Jeff (Bezos),” the source revealed. “It’s gonna be a great party!”
Prior to the news of their split, sources dished to the Daily Mail about why Bloom and Perry were on shaky ground. According to the outlet, their rough patch started after an “explosive” fight about Perry’s Blue Origin space flight, led by Sánchez herself.
“He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,” a source close to Perry said. “He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing.”
For Perry, who has been under intense public scrutiny following the lukewarm reception to her album 143 and the underperforming Lifetimes tour, the criticism stung, especially coming from her longtime partner. “Imagine going to space… and your partner isn’t impressed,” the source added. “Of course she was hurt.”
Perry and Bloom have been together on and off since 2016. They got engaged in 2019 and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020. Neither of them has yet to confirm or deny the split rumors.
