Hollywood couple Katy Perry, 39, and Orlando Bloom, 47, were spotted arriving at Ellen DeGeneres's comedy show, "An Evening with Ellen DeGeneres," in West Hollywood on June 6. Their casual appearance caused a commotion among social media users who were taken aback for a few reasons, primarily as it pertains to "The Lord of the Rings" star.

Video and photographic media shared by various news outlets showed the "Dark Horse" singer getting out of a sleek black SUV as she arrived for the comedy event. For the affair, Katy opted for a spunky casual look, wearing a gray leotard shirt that was tucked into her jungle green pants.

She paired her ensemble with a bright orange cap, platform shoes, a silver chain, and silver earrings and carried a chrome-colored jacket and a beige purse. Her thinly strapped top also left a bit of her red bra exposed.
Katy's beau, on the other hand, rocked a grey UNICEF hoodie and olive-colored khaki pants. He completed his attire with a black cap and sneakers. Footage of the duo showed them arriving in separate cars right before Orlando strolled up to Katy's vehicle to greet her.

"She looks great! Orlando has aged bless him," wrote an Instagram user. Expressing a similar sentiment concerning Orlando, another echoed, "I was like who's that old man next to Katy Perry, oh yes that's Orlando Bloom 😬."
"She looks beautiful. And [then] there is Orlando Bloom…" noted another observer. On the other hand, someone else criticized both of their outfits, "Why are they dressed like 14yr olds at the skate park[?]"
However, amid the backlash Orlando received, there was a fan who gave him props, gushing, "Her husband is sooo cute!❤️" Another cohort of social media users were confused to see Katy and Orlando together, as they thought the couple had called it quits.

"I thought they broke up," commented someone who saw the YouTube video of the pair. Similarly, another pondered, "they are a couple?" In response to this comment, someone replied, "Yeah they've been together forever."

For those who are wondering, yes, Katy and Orlando are still an item and have been going strong since their romantic relationship started. Just two months ago (April), Orlando raved about why he loved his fiancée while sitting down with iconic host and comedian Trevor Noah on his podcast.
Orlando spoke about how, as opposed to falling for Katy's star power, he fell in love with the down-to-earth woman behind the superstardom. "I fell in love with, this, with Katheryn, this girl from Santa Barbara, you know, and by the way, parents—pastors, living on food stamps—we're not talking glamorous Montecito," explained the famous actor.
Defending Orlando's appearance during his and Katy's recent outing, an AmoMama reader asserted, "He doesn't look old. Looks like he has lost weight and sometimes that makes you look a little older at first."
Another reader who disagrees with the aforementioned comment, said, "He looks older than 47 ....poor fellow." However, someone else commented, "Aging is part of living! Be Happy!"
