Published: Jul 04 2025

Orlando Bloom is navigating through the tumultuous waters of his emotions. The esteemed actor of "The Lord of the Rings" fame offered a glimpse into his heartfelt sentiments following his recent breakup with Katy Perry, after nine years together, by sharing a profound quote on social media. On July 2, he reposted on his Instagram Stories a thought-provoking saying attributed to Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, which read, "Loneliness does not stem from the absence of people around one, but rather from the inability to convey what one holds dear."

This isn't the first occasion where the 48-year-old, who shares a four-year-old daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom with Katy and is also the father of 14-year-old son Flynn Bloom from his previous relationship with Miranda Kerr, has resorted to sharing cryptic quotes amidst his separation from his fiancée. Earlier, on June 30, Bloom reshared a Buddhist quote that echoed, "Each day is a fresh start. Our actions today hold the utmost importance." The same day, he also posted an inspiring quote from the late Japanese Buddhist leader Daisaku Ikeda, emphasizing the triumph over fear: "The crucial step is to take that first leap. Boldly overcoming one minor fear emboldens you to face the next day."

As for Katy, although she hasn't publicly addressed her split from Orlando, she has been seeking solace in her fans' support as she continues her "Lifetimes Tour" across Australia. While news of their breakup first surfaced towards the end of last month, this isn't the first time the couple has parted ways. Back in 2017, the then-lovebirds briefly went their separate ways, less than a year after making their relationship Instagram official. Their representatives confirmed to People magazine at the time, "Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space apart from each other."

Once again, news of their breakup has made headlines, underscoring the rocky journey their relationship has undertaken.
