Orlando Bloom put on a cosy display with Kim Kardashian after his split with pop star Katy Perry was revealed.
The A-list duo have headed to Venice as part of Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, 61, and 55-year-old fiancee Lauren Sanchez’s star-studded wedding guest contingent.
It comes after reports the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, would “make his debut as a single man” at the A-list wedding of the year’s three-day celebration.
Clearly eager to embrace his stunning Italian surroundings – and escape speculation over his situation with the Roar hit maker, 40 – he has touched down ahead of the nuptials.
Bloom, who was recently in Australia where Perry is currently on tour, was seen looking casual in a black vest top and shorts, finishing off with white sports socks.
He was seen stretching out as he strolled around the picturesque Italian streets with a pal, before spotting Kardashian, 44, and her sister Khloe, 40, at nearby restaurant, The Gritti Palace.
Kardashian looked chic in black Balenciaga trousers paired with a dark bandeau top.
She pulled on a pair of silver sunglasses and brushed her locks into a slicked-back up-do and was seen opening her arms to welcome the Lord Of The Rings actor into an embrace.
Her sister Khloe, decked out in bold leopard-print, could be seen watching the pair as she stood alongside.
The trio then sat at the same table as wedding attendees mingling at the pre-ceremony event.
Bezos’ wedding venue was recently revealed as an “open air theatre” on a Venetian island.
A series of jaw-droppingly pricey hotel suites have also been booked out for the happy couple and their guests, which won’t include Perry as she has several more concerts in Australia.
Bloom and Kardashian’s warm welcome came after it was reported Perry – who shares daughter Daisy with Bloom from their 10-year partnership – told friends they were over back in January.
Last week, The Sun reported how Perry and Bloom held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives.
American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Bloom would be “the life of the party” and that he would be hitting “the dance floor hard” when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials.
An insider said: “No one has decided it’s definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.”
They added, “They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.”
It’s understood Bloom and Perry are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule.
The insider added: “They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.”
Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Perry’s flight to space on board Bezos’ Blue Origin.
Perry, along with Sanchez and Gayle King, were hit with a public backlash and those close to Bloom said he had warned his fiancee about taking part.
They said: “From day one, Orlando didn’t think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.”
Yet it was then claimed Perry had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring.
A source close to the couple said: “Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done.
“They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter.
“But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin.
“She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message.
“It’s been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.”
The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later.
However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision.
Reps for the couple refused to comment when approached about their separation in February and again this week.
