Orlando Bloom reportedly ‘unapologetically’ flirting with women months before Katy Perry split

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only just confirmed their split days ago, but reports reveal the actor was acting very much single in Miami months ago.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom secretly parted ways earlier this year — and reports reveal that Bloom was acting very single in Miami just months ago.

A source tells Page Six the Pirates of the Caribbean actor was in Miami, Florida, flirting with women on a recent trip.

“Orlando was definitely with girls in Miami,” says a source.

“He’s been not subtly out and about,” according to our source, who called Bloom’s flirting “unapologetic.”

And another source tells the outlet that the couple had parted ways long before that.

The star was in Miami on April 9 to celebrate the launch of a new MSC cruise ship. We hear he was also there during the Miami Grand Prix, which ran May 2 to May 4, along with celebs like Timothée Chalamet and Tom Brady.

Reps for Bloom and Perry issued the following statement to Page Six, confirming “that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. 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.”

On June 10, Page Six exclusively reported that the couple’s relationship was done.

“It’s over,” a source told Page Six. “They are waiting ’til her tour is over before they split.”

Perry is on her Lifetimes tour that began on April 23 and runs through December 7.

But on June 24, TMZ reported that Bloom was heading to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Italian wedding as a single man.

The actor and the Firework singer first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes after-party.

They got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019, and welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020.

Sources previously told People that stress over the poor reception for Perry’s new album, 143, had caused “tension” in the relationship.

“Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,” a source told the outlet. “It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.”

On Wednesday, Bloom took to Instagram Stories to repost a carousel of quotes from Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung.

“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate that seem important to oneself,” one quote read, which was originally shared via the Instagram account @SAPIENKIND.

Another cryptic quote said, “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”

The pair previously split for a year in 2017.

Page Six reported that at Bezos’ wedding, single Bloom was having a great time.

“He was partying hard,” said a source, jokingly adding, “and sweaty.”
