Orlando Bloom shares cryptic post on 'taking the first step' amid Katy Perry 'split'

Orlando Bloom has shared a cryptic Instagram message about 'taking the first step' amid ongoing rumours that he and fiancée Katy Perry have split. The Pirates of The Caribbean actor, 48, has hinted at trouble in paradise and moving on with his life after it was reported that he and popstar Katy, 40, have called it quits.

The British actor added fuel to the already blazing fire when he took to his Instagram Stories on Monday to share an inspirational quote from Buddha. After his wild weekend in Venice at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez' wedding, Orlando posted the quote which read: "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most."

In another story, he shared yet another quote which read: "The important thing is to take the first step. Bravery overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next."

Orlando's cryptic inspirational messages come as Katy is currently travelling Australia with her Lifetimes tour. The I Kissed A Girl singer has been documenting her wild nights out Down Under, with many fans on X insisting that she looks as though she is living the 'single life' again and 'thriving'.

Meanwhile, Orlando, who shares four-year-old daughter Daisy with Katy, enjoyed a lavish and star-studded weekend in Venice for the Bezos wedding - but Katy was nowhere to be seen - despite having recently gone into space with Lauren on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket.

While Katy was Down Under, Orlando appeared to be living it up in Venice - also sparking rumours that he is now single after being spotted with two mystery women. The actor appeared to be keeping his spirits high as he headed to a lavish pre-wedding bash. He was seen leaving the exclusive do with women and other guests before departing on a water taxi.

Inside the vehicle, he was seen getting close and chatty with one mystery woman. Orlando looked smart in a beige trouser and blazer combo over a loosely buttoned white shirt as he managed to keep a smile on his face.

It comes as the Hollywood pair have faced ongoing speculation over their relationship in recent weeks, with reports of "make or break talks". Neither Orlando or Katy have yet to confirm if the reports are true following their whirlwind romance which spanned almost a decade.

The pair had one of the pop-world’s most talked-about romances when they first met 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty and quickly hit it off, eventually making their relationship official in May 2016. However, the relationship hit rocky waters when the pair temporarily split up in 2017.

They then reunited and got engaged on Valentines Day, 2019 and a year later, Katy confirmed that she was pregnant with Orlando’s baby. The pair were set to be wedded in Japan early 2020, until Covid hit, and they were forced to postpone. In summer 2020, they announced the birth of their first daughter.

However, five years on and the pair are allegedly no longer together after a decade of dating. A source told US Weekly : "Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable.” Their last sighting together was March 2025 at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

The Mirror has approached Orlando's representatives for comment on this story.
