Orlando Bloom’s Italian Photo Dump Sparks Co-Parenting Buzz with Katy Perry

Holy caffeine-fueled discovery—Orlando Bloom just blessed our feeds with an Italian photo drop starring none other than ex-fiancée Katy Perry, and your over-caffeinated aunt is buzzing nonstop! On July 9, the Pirates of the Caribbean star shared an irresistible carousel on Instagram, documenting his sun-soaked getaway in Italy alongside the “Teenage Dream” singer, their 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, and his 13-year-old son Flynn (shout-out to ex Miranda Kerr for making that co-parent cameo possible!).

The gallery kicks off with Bloom, 48, admiring whimsical sidewalk art at a Florence museum—because yes, Florentine frescoes and co-parents posing like BFFs are the latest trend. Then we’re whisked onto a ultra-chic yacht, where Orlando and Katy (40) lounge side by side, sunglasses on, Daisy giggling with her face adorably hidden behind a floppy sun hat. Flynn joins the family party, proving that blended modern fam life can look straight out of a glossy travel mag. And in true auntie fashion, I’m just over here picturing their gelato-stained smiles and thinking, “That’s the dream, kids!”

Now, let’s rewind timeline-style: Bloom jetted solo to Venice on June 26 to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s star-studded wedding (hello, A-list snooze fest), while Katy was still powering through her Luneacy tour Down Under. Fast-forward to July 6, and the exes reunite on the Amalfi Coast, hanging on that same yacht with newlyweds Bezos and Sánchez—and yup, those snaps hit the ‘gram, too.

Despite calling off their nine-year run and engagement earlier this month, Orlando and Katy’s reps confirmed to E! News on July 3 that this amicable split is all about “co-parenting,” adding that their shared priority “will always be raising Daisy with love, stability and mutual respect.” Cue collective “awww” and this aunt’s heart practically bursting through her hyper-caffeinated chest.

For the nostalgia buffs, remember their January 2016 Golden Globes meet-cute spark? Or that epic Disneyland Shanghai family trip later that year? They’ve been suiting up for Oscars after-parties, Thanksgiving dinners with Flynn, and surprise birthday blowouts (Palm Springs, anyone?). The duo’s timeline reads like a rom-com montage—but now it’s officially rebooted as a family-first saga.

So what’s next for these two serial globetrotters turned co-parenting champs? Will there be an album of Sicily sunset selfies? A Vogue cover of mini-Bloom on Capri? Only time—and my next double shot latte—will tell. I swear, I could talk about this all day, but now this aunt desperately needs a refill. Whew! That was a LOT to process!
