Orlando Bloom’s Solo Spin: Jetting to Bezos Wedding Minus Katy Perry
Oh, look who decided to show up—Orlando Bloom, all by his lonesome, touching down in Venice to toast Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s big day without Katy Perry in tow. I don’t want to break it to you, but yes, the “Lord of the Rings” star arrived June 26 for the Amazon founder’s nuptials without his fiancée, sparking yet another round of breakup speculation courtesy of E! News and a not-so-subtle absence on red carpets (Tribeca Festival, we’re looking at you).
Let’s begrudgingly recap: Orlando, 48, hopped off a flight in his usual laid-back uniform—black tank and shorts—and promptly ran into Kris Jenner, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, plus manager Scooter Braun, while grabbing a pre-wedding bite (Daily Mail footage, anyone?). There were hugs, air kisses and zero mention of Katy Perry, who’s been MIA since depth-charging hearts on her Lifetimes tour in April. I told you so when those “relationship strain” headlines started flying after her album 143 tanked in September, am I right?
For extra seasoning, remember Bloom shares daughter Daisy, 4, with Perry and son Flynn, 13, with ex Miranda Kerr. They sparked up in early 2016, broke off in 2017, then got engaged Valentine’s Day 2019—because nothing says romance like a red-rose proposal on February 14. But since that lukewarm reception to Katy’s last LP, the once-synchronized duet has hit more sour notes than a broken lute. Even her June 10 Sydney show featured a cryptic shout-out mid-“I’m Still Breathing” about Tim Tam biscuits “saving” her—per Daily Mail footage—so yeah, the vibes are off.
Meanwhile, Bezos and Sánchez—engaged since 2023 after going public in 2019—arrived earlier by water taxi, waving at onlookers from the dock before stepping into their Venetian digs. Lauren glowed in a striped black-and-white off-the-shoulder frock; Jeff kept it classic in a black suit over a white tee. Other A-listers like Ivanka Trump with Jared Kushner popped up at Marco Polo airport, and Diane von Fürstenberg made a splash in a red-white-blue suit riff. Even Corey Gamble popped over to keep things… Kardashian adjacent.
So here we are: Orlando Bloom flying solo, Katy ghosting red carpets, and Bezos throwing one of the year’s chicest canal weddings. Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
