Actor Orlando Bloom has opened up, albeit cryptically, about the emotional toll of his recent split from longtime partner Katy Perry . In a series of social media stories posted on July 2, 2025, Bloom shared philosophical quotes that hinted at his inner state, just days after the couple’s nine-year relationship came to an end.

Cryptic quotes and emotional undercurrentsBloom reposted a carousel of quotes from psychiatrist Carl Jung, including, “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.” While another quote read, “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.” He also shared a Buddhist quote: Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.” And from Daisaku Ikeda’s Daily Encouragement, "The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.”

A quiet end to a long love storyThe couple’s breakup was confirmed on June 26, 2025. According to insiders cited by Us Weekly and People, the split was “amicable” and “not contentious,” though it had reportedly been “a long time coming.” The pair had been together since 2016, got engaged in 2019, and share a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.


Katy Perry’s tearful tributeJust hours after Bloom’s posts, Perry performed the final show of her Lifetimes tour in Adelaide, Australia. In a moment captured by fans, she formed a heart with her hands and tearfully told the crowd, “Thank you, Australia, for always being there for me.” The emotional moment added further weight to the speculation that both stars are navigating the breakup with deep personal reflection.


Bloom’s post-split public appearancesWhile Perry continues her tour, Bloom has been spotted embracing his newly single status. He attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice, mingled with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney, and partied aboard a luxury yacht in Rome alongside Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, and Sofia Vergara.
