Orlando Bloom's Halloween Photo Sparks Buzz Amid Katy Perry Breakup

The Halloween photo buzz comes after the actor's ex released a song, which the public believes hints at the possible reason for the former couple's split.

On November 9, 2025, media outlet Page Six shared a post showing actress Rachel Lynn Matthews and fellow star Orlando Bloom dressed in costumes for Halloween. While Bloom dressed up as a skeleton, Matthews embodied the actor's ex, pop sensation Katy Perry.

The media has since sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens, with some finding humor in the situation, while others were taken aback and expressed disapproval.

The Halloween Ensemble That Caused an Online Uproar

In the shared snapshots, Bloom appears in a skeletal outfit complete with dramatic black face paint, flashing a wide grin beside Matthews, who is unmistakably styled as Perry during her appearance on Blue Origin's first all-female spaceflight.

Donning a form-fitting, metallic blue astronaut suit with an American flag patch and flowing jet-black hair, Matthews playfully channels the pop star's bold look. One particularly striking image shows her kissing the ground as Perry did when the crew landed back on Earth.

'Hysterical and Offensive': Netizens Split Over the Halloween Stunt

The Halloween photos quickly became a lightning rod for online commentary, with netizens sounding off in every direction. Some couldn't help but laugh at Matthews' unexpected bold approach. "Thats [sic] hilarious!!" declared one netizen, while another observed, "She looks just like her…"

Echoing the sentiment, someone else wrote, "This is hysterical and offensive and I can't wait to see what's next 😂😂😂" — capturing the mix of humor and controversy many felt. One person even went so far as to say, "This is the absolute best."

However, not all reactions were lighthearted. Others took issue with the costume's implications, especially given Perry's shared history with Bloom. "Rude," read a short but pointed comment. Another spectator pushed back more strongly, commenting, "This is wrong!!! Katy is the mother of his child."

"Letting your new girlfriend make fun of the mother of your daughter is just weird to me lol [sic]," expressed someone else. One person found the situation outright baffling, stating, "That's just bizarre. The fact Orlando would be comfortable with this is very telling."

The Timing of It All

While the Halloween antics sparked a wave of amusement and unease online, the timing of it all added another layer of intrigue — especially as it followed closely on the heels of new music from Katy Perry that some believe pulls back the curtain on her past with Orlando Bloom.

Released on November 7, 2025, Perry's new single "Bandaids" quickly sparked speculation that its lyrics reflect the emotional unraveling of her long-term relationship with Bloom.

"Hand to God, I promise I tried. There's no stone left unturned," Perry sings in the track. "It's not what you did. It's what you didn't. You were there, but you weren't."

She continues, "Got so used to you letting me down. No use tryna send flowers now," adding, "Telling myself you'll change, you don't. Band-Aids over a broken heart."

As the song builds, she sings, "It's not that complicated. To ask me how my day is. I'm flatlining trying to save this," deepening the portrait of a relationship strained by emotional neglect.

YouTube Explodes with Emotional Reactions

The song's release sparked intense speculation online almost immediately. One YouTube comment read, "So you're telling me this was the song after they seperated [sic]?! I'm sobbing so hard right now."

A spectator wrote, "The message is clear in this video. Everything she's done in the past year has led to disasters that unintentionally hurt her."

Meanwhile, others praised the songwriting itself. "THE POWER OF Lyrics!!" one commenter declared. Another added, "Behind all the fun easter eggs and symbolism, the jabs to Bloom and to herself, the lyrics work just as well against the never satisfied [sic] haters. Well done Queen, this is REAL!"

As the comments continued to pour in, one thing became clear: listeners see more than just a pop anthem — they hear a confessional, and perhaps, a final word on a love once sung loud. Whether through heartbreak or healing, Perry seems to be turning life's unraveling into art, and fans are listening more closely than ever.

The emotional weight of the musician's new song now seems even more poignant as Bloom broke his silence, offering his own perspective on the current state of their relationship.

He spoke about his split from Perry, just as her rumored romance with a Canadian politician was making headlines. Still, the actor is keeping a positive outlook after parting ways with her.

Bloom said 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 was promoting his intense new boxing drama "The Cut," appeared to be finding peace in the aftermath of his separation from the 41-year-old musical 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 reads, "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, 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 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 Bloom leans 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.

At One Point, the Rumored Spark Had Supposedly 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, 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.

More Details Surrounding Perry and Trudeau's Connection

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 [sic] 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??" Someone else stated, "That was fast….. [sic]."

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