Orlando Bloom is said to have acknowledged the ongoing rumors about a relationship between his former fiancée Katy Perry and Canada’s ex-Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.
Representatives for both the Lord of the Rings actor, now 48, and the pop singer Perry, aged 40, have confirmed their separation as of June 2025. They stated that the pair were transitioning their relationship to focus on coparenting their daughter, Daisy Dove, who is four years old.
The couple initially met in 2016 and experienced an on-and-off relationship before their engagement on Valentine’s Day in 2019.
Despite the engagement, they never married. Recent reports suggest that Perry has been seen dining in public with Trudeau, who is 53, on multiple occasions in Montreal, according to The New York Times.
The former leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, who separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023, was also seen attending Perry’s Lifetimes Tour. Pop Crave shared a video from one of her concerts that he attended.
According to reports from The Sun, Perry is looking to have ‘fun’ after her breakup with Bloom but is also ‘very much grieving the end of their relationship.’
A source revealed to the outlet that her friends are advising her not to rush into anything serious, describing her connection with Canada’s 23rd Prime Minister as a ‘very new flirty friendship.’
Bloom, a father of two, has reportedly taken notice of the romantic buzz surrounding Perry and Trudeau by humorously reacting to a satirical Instagram post by The Onion.
The post humorously suggested that Bloom was seen enjoying a night out with a former political figure, this time ex-German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancée Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel,” the post’s caption stated.
“Angela kept Orlando laughing all night; he couldn’t keep his eyes off her!”
The post humorously added that the two were supposedly seen ‘sipping wine, slurping oysters, and splitting a decadent piece of chocolate layer cake at a Michelin-starred restaurant.’
An AI-generated image accompanied the post, depicting Bloom and 71-year-old Merkel at a candlelit dinner.
In response, Bloom posted three clapping emojis, seemingly acknowledging the playful jab at his ex-fiancée.
This subtle reaction from Bloom has stirred significant buzz online. One Instagram user commented, “My unbothered king.”
Another wrote, “You’re such a good sport.”
“Dunno, it might actually be Phil Dunphy,” suggested another, referencing a character from Modern Family.
A fourth simply remarked, “You’ve been onioned.”
