Orlando Bloom's Dating History Is Full of Romance Rumors before He Met Katy Perry

Orlando Bloom has been happily engaged since 2019, yet his extensive dating history continues to fascinate fans. From high-profile actresses to stunning models, whether rumored or real, the handsome actor's love life had kept tabloids busy.

Actor Orlando Bloom catapulted to fame as the sharp-eyed archer Legolas in the "Lord of the Rings" film franchise. Like his iconic character, Bloom had a keen eye for beautiful women, as evident in his dating history.

Bloom captivated the hearts of many famous female celebrities. After a series of short-lived relationships, he has finally met the one woman he could see himself with for the rest of his life.

Sienna Miller

Bloom was first linked to actress Sienna Miller in 2001, and they were seen together in the summer of 2005 at a polo match in Windshire, Berkshire. According to a source who saw the rumored pair at the event, they had "real chemistry."

The source also added that they cuddled, kissed, and gazed into each other's eyes. Although the romance between Miller and Bloom sparked public buzz, neither confirmed their relationship.

However, it appeared that Miller was only with Bloom for romantic vengeance at the time. Their presence at the polo event came the same year Miller broke off her one-year engagement to actor Jude Law.

Law and Miller announced their engagement in 2004. While engaged to the actress, Law allegedly had an affair with his children's nanny Daisy Wright.

Following the scandal, Law publicly apologized to Miller for his behavior. Miller had deep feelings for him then, but after a failed reconciliation attempt in 2009, she ultimately ended their relationship in 2011.

Kate Bosworth

Bloom dated actress Kate Bosworth in the spring of 2002. Their careers and romantic relationship were both thriving simultaneously, which prompted them to keep their romance on the down-low.

As for Bloom, he once stated that his personal life was not something he wanted to discuss publicly, but he did reveal to a British reporter his thoughts on being in a romantic relationship:

"I'm in love with love. It's heavenly when you're falling for someone and can't stop thinking about her."

However, the duo broke up in January 2005 after over two years of dating. The former pair's representative, Robin Baum, said that both actors decided to spend time apart due to their "upcoming work schedules."

Although they were never an item, it appeared that Harris provided emotional support for Bloom, who, at that time, was coping with his breakup with Bosworth.

Helena Christensen

Bloom made headlines in 2004 when he crossed paths with supermodel Helena Christensen. There were rumors that they briefly dated, but no sources could confirm that they shared more than one photo.

Later, it came out that Bloom and the Danish supermodel were just friends. Christensen was in a relationship with actor Norman Reedus at the time, with whom she has one child, Mingus Lucien.

As for Bloom, he appeared to be uninterested in dating at the time. He admitted that he took up acting "because of women" and that he had no intention of settling down.

Vanessa Lachey

Bloom dated actress and TV host Vanessa Lachey – known as Vanessa Minnillo at the time – in 2005, but it was only for a few months, between April and August.

Although their relationship did not last, she did find the man who would become her true love: former 98 Degrees boyband member and singer Nick Lachey, whom she married in 2011.

Penelope Cruz

In September 2006, Bloom and Spanish actress Penelope Cruz were seen leaving a club together twice, which led to speculations that they were dating.

During Bloom's 30th birthday in January 2007, the actor reportedly spent the night with Cruz in Los Angeles. Although women surrounded him, he was said to have danced closely with the acclaimed actress.

However, their romance was never confirmed as Cruz reportedly dated actor Joshua Hartnett then, while Bloom was with another woman who resembled Cruz.

Naomie Harris

Naomie Harris and Bloom were linked in July 2007. Harris and Bloom, co-stars in the Disney film "Pirates of the Caribbean," revealed that they liked each other and even developed mutual feelings on set.

Although they were never an item, it appeared that Harris provided emotional support for Bloom, who, at that time, was coping with his breakup with Bosworth.

Miranda Kerr

Bloom started dating Australian model Miranda Kerr privately in the summer of 2007. They went public with their relationship the following year at a horse-racing event in Kerr's home country.

After three years of dating, the couple announced their engagement in June 2010 and married the following month. Shortly after tying the knot, they welcomed their son, Flynn, in August of the same year.

Kerr and Bloom reportedly divorced in October 2013. Although they never addressed their split, Bloom's representative stated that the former couple loves, supports, and respects each other as a family and as Flynn's parents.

Liv Tyler

The rumor that Bloom was dating actress Liv Tyler while filming "The Lord of the Rings" resurfaced in 2018. However, on an episode of "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen," Tyler clarified the rumors.

She said she never dated Bloom. She described Bloom as one of her oldest friends because they had grown up together in the film, and she was still "madly in love" with her first husband, musician Royce Langdon.

Condola Rashad

Theater actress Condola Rashad was linked to Bloom shortly after the actor's divorce from Kerr. Rashad and Bloom both appeared on Broadway in the New York production of the classic "Romeo and Juliet."

In 2014, there were rumors that Rashad had an off-stage affair with Bloom while he was still married to the model. Bloom's fans dubbed her a "homewrecker."

Rashad, who received hateful e-mails from the actor's fans, eventually denied the affair, stating that she had a boyfriend when she and Kerr's husband performed on stage together.

Nora Arnezeder

A few months after his split from Kerr, Bloom was linked to beautiful French actress Nora Arnezder in 2014 after the "Hobbit" star was sighted hanging out with her at a bar in Los Angeles.

A source told Mail Online that the two good-looking celebrities were alone at a corner table and enjoyed chatting over drinks for about two hours. They were later photographed riding off on his motorbike.

Selena Gomez

Bloom and Gomez, who reportedly shared a manager, first met at a youth empowerment event called We Day California in March 2014. Five months prior, Bloom and Kerr had broken up.

Dating speculations began soon after Bloom and Gomez were spotted having dinner together and enjoying stand-up comedy in April 2014. But they were quick to shut down the rumors.

Gomez insisted in October 2014 that they were only friends. Bloom also denied dating the singer, telling paparazzi they were only attending the We Day California event together.

Nina Dobrev

Bloom reportedly hung out with "The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev in 2017. A source told People that the pair was casual about their romantic relationship and that they were not exclusive.

However, a representative for the actress denied that she and Bloom were dating, stating that they were only friends and often seen together because they shared the same circle of friends. At the time, Bloom was seen with another woman at a Coachella party.

Lindsay Lohan

In 2014, Lindsay Lohan grabbed headlines after her alleged "sex list" leaked. The list features the names of 36 men she had allegedly slept with. Bloom happened to be on the list.

Other famous men on the list were Zac Efron, Justin Timberlake, Adam Levine, Heath Ledger, and James Franco. Bloom stayed mum on his inclusion in the infamous list, neither confirming nor denying having an intimate encounter with the "Parent Trap" actress.

Katy Perry

After dating several women, Orlando Bloom has seemingly found "the one" in music superstar Katy Perry. Sparks began to fly when they met for the first time at a Golden Globes after-party on January 10, 2016.

Recalling how she and Bloom first met, Perry claimed in jest that they were fighting over a burger. The couple made the relationship public via an Instagram post on May 19, 2016, after attending the Cannes Film Festival.

Perry and Bloom separated in 2017 but got back together less than a year later. They got engaged in 2019, with Bloom proposing to her on Valentine's Day.

With the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting wedding plans, the couple moved in together and welcomed their first child, Daisy Dove Bloom, in August 2020.
