Orlando Bloom Speaks Out About His Split with Ex-Fiancée Katy Perry

Hearts broke around the world when Hollywood's golden couple called it quits after nearly a decade of dazzling red carpets, whirlwind reunions, and that unforgettable Valentine's Day proposal.

Orlando Bloom has broken his silence on his split from Katy Perry, just as the pop star's rumored romance with a Canadian politician was making headlines. The actor is keeping a positive outlook after parting ways with Perry.

Bloom has spoken out for the first time since the split, saying he is focusing on what matters most, his family and career.

He noted, "I'm great, man. I'm so grateful. We have the most beautiful daughter. You know, when you leave everything on the field, like I did in this movie, I feel grateful for all of it. And we're great. We're going to be great. It's nothing but love."

Bloom and Perry Focus on Family After Their Split

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, who is currently promoting his intense new boxing drama "The Cut," appears to be finding peace in the aftermath of his separation from the 40-year-old pop superstar.

Bloom and Perry confirmed their breakup in July 2025, bringing an end to one of entertainment’s most iconic and unpredictable romances. Their representatives announced the split in a joint statement on July 3.

The statement explained that Bloom and Perry had gradually shifted their relationship to focus on co-parenting. It read, "They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect."

The Couple's Highs and Heartbreak

The couple's relationship was marked by both high-profile milestones and periods of separation. Bloom and Perry first began dating in 2016 but went their separate ways the following year before reconciling in 2018.

The actor then proposed on Valentine's Day in 2019. Just as fans anticipated a fairy-tale wedding, the COVID-19 pandemic derailed their plans. However, in March 2020, Katy Perry made headlines with a bombshell music video reveal.

Her emotional single “Never Worn White” ended with a reveal of her baby bump, and just five months later, the couple welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020.

Now, after the breakup, Bloom has remained steadfastly focused on his daughter and his craft, while Perry's globe-trotting tour and whirlwind social calendar have kept her firmly in the spotlight.

Perry's Surprising Connection to a Former Prime Minister

But as Orlando Bloom leaned into family life, Perry raised eyebrows when she was spotted enjoying a cozy dinner with none other than former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The unlikely duo dined at Le Violon in Montreal on July 28, just weeks after the breakup became public.

The 53-year-old politician and the chart-topping singer shared cocktails, lobster, and laughter before slipping into the kitchen to greet the staff, a move that only fueled speculation of a budding romance.

Photos from the private date set social media ablaze, with fans and pundits alike questioning whether this was more than just a friendly encounter.

Why the Rumored Spark Fizzled

Sources claim Trudeau was not pleased with the publicity, describing it as an unwanted spotlight on what was meant to be a low-key first outing. Perry, however, reportedly seemed less concerned by the exposure.

Despite his initial reservations, Trudeau was back in the public eye two days later when he attended Perry's Montreal stop on her "Lifetimes Tour."

Accompanied by his daughter Ella-Grace, he was seen singing and dancing along to Perry's biggest hits, including "Firework" and "Dark Horse," from a highly visible area near the stage.

A Brief Spark That Burned Out Quietly

Insiders say their texts were flying back and forth throughout July, but as the summer faded, so did Perry and Trudeau's frequent communication.

A source shared, "She's busy, he's busy. They have a lot going on, and the newness has worn off. But there's nothing negative about it. They just aren't in constant communication anymore. That could change, but for now, it is what it is. It has cooled off."

Even so, there's no bad blood between the pair. "They still have nothing bad to say about each other, and in fact I feel like she's been saying really nice things about him," the insider added.

Internet Explodes with Wild Speculation

Despite rumors that the romance had already cooled, the sight of the singer dining alone with a former world leader was more than enough to send fans into an absolute frenzy.

One wrote, "I thought he was married...," while another asked, "Isn't he married??" Another netizen, who assumed the two were dating, stated, "That was fast….."

Someone else pointed out a resemblance between Trudeau and Bloom, writing, "He looks like her ex." Echoing that sentiment, a commenter observed, "I think he's her type looks a bit like Orlando lol. [sic]"

One person foresaw trouble in the alleged pairing, warning Perry to "Run girl run!" Another, using two laughing emoticons, wrote, "Run while you can..." Another fan also cautioned the singer, adding, "Seriously???? Wake up Katy..."

Perry Tunes Out the Noise as She Powers Through Emotional Whirlwind

The chart-topping superstar isn't paying attention to the rumors, rebounds, and romantic speculation. Instead, she is choosing to channel her energy into what matters most, which is her fans, her family, and her long-awaited comeback.

"This comeback means a lot to her. She wants to give fans the best show. She's happy and just focused on her tour," an insider divulged.

Even with emotional weight and public speculation hanging over her, Perry is forging ahead, smiling for cameras, dazzling on stage, and holding tightly to her little girl, Daisy, who gives her strength.
