Orlando Bloom Shares First Photo with Katy Perry Since Their Split and Fans Are ‘So Confused’

After actor Orlando Bloom and singer Katy Perry reportedly split up, a new Instagram post from Orlando has puzzled fans, with many speculating whether the couple might be getting back together.

On July 9, 2025, Orlando shared a post captioned “Dump 4 ya” to his Instagram page. The post included 14 slides — 13 pictures and one short video — all seemingly taken during a family getaway to a picturesque seaside destination.

In one photo, Orlando — in shorts and a white crew neck tee — smiles at his daughter Daisy Bloom, who sits on his shoulders, her face covered by a digital sticker. He holds his son Flynn Bloom with one arm, while Katy, in a floral sundress, holds Daisy’s arm with a big grin.

The touching picture portrayed their blended family in a warm and loving light. However, given their recent separation, fans were quick to speculate about what the photo might mean for their relationship status.

One fan asked, “Omg, mom and dad getting back tgt?!? [sic]” Another commented, “These two are amazing parents! Sometimes love and family deserve a second chance 🤷🏽‍♀️❤️.”

Many fans expressed their hopes for reconciliation. “I hope my favorite couple stays together for a long time❤️,” wrote one fan. “I still have hope in love with KP and you ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️🙌,” added another fan.

“Hope you and Katey [sic] get back together🩷🩷🩷,” one user wished, with another commenting that “I was so sad to hear you broke up. I hope it’s not true. Favourite couple.”

Not all comments focused on a speculative reconciliation, though. Some instead centered on the family. One fan wrote, “Beautiful trip with fam 😍,” while another said, “Beautiful Family the Best for the kids! [sic]”

The couple’s split was officially confirmed by their representatives in a joint statement to Us Weekly on July 3 — six days before Orlando’s recent Instagram photo dump.

“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” read the statement.

“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 statement concluded.

The breakup marks the end of a nine-year on-and-off relationship between Katy and Orlando. The couple had been engaged since 2019, following Orlando’s proposal in February of that year.

In the weeks following the confirmation, Orlando took to social media to share a series of reflective quotes. The posts hinted at personal introspection and emotional processing.

Among the quotes was a passage from Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung: “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.” The message suggested a sense of isolation beyond physical presence.

Another post read, “Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.” It continued with a contrast between love and power: “Where love rules, there’s no will to power, and where power dominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”

Further quotes pointed to acceptance and emotional balance. One stated that change is impossible without acceptance and that condemnation does not bring freedom but rather creates oppression.

Another emphasized that even a happy life must contain a degree of darkness, suggesting that the concept of happiness loses its meaning without the contrast of sadness. Following Orlando’s reflective social media posts, fans quickly took to social media to share their thoughts. Reactions ranged from sympathetic to sharply critical.

Some expressed empathy for the actor. One user wrote, “It’s completely natural. Years of togetherness create a deep bond, and I can sense his pain.” Another added, “I feel for him such a great actor 😍.”

Others questioned the sincerity behind his public expressions. “Filling up that loneliness with Kardashians, Bezos, and that crew is so sad. Poor guy is devastated. You can tell by all the pics of him smiling and enjoying himself,” a commenter noted.

Criticism also surfaced. One user bluntly remarked, “Shoulda kept it in your pants.” Another said, “Don’t feel sorry for him at all.” Some pointed to Orlando’s recent appearances and associations.

“He wasn’t that lonely, he kissed Kim Kardashian and hanging with Sydney Sweeney. Celebs just be saying anything,” a fan commented. Another joked, “Must be too much pressure being married to an astronaut.”
