Did Kim Kardashian Play A Role In Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry Split? Newly Single Actor Spotted Getting Close to Reality Star in Venice

Orlando Bloom has been making headlines for his split with longtime partner Katy Perry. However, this time the actor is drawing attention for a seemingly warm interaction with Kim Kardashian in Venice.

The duo was photographed greeting each other with air kisses and smiles during Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding festivities, sparking curiosity and raising a few eyebrows, given the timing, which came just one day after Us Weekly reported that Bloom and Perry had officially split.

What Do We Know About the Split?

According to multiple outlets, Bloom and Perry's relationship had been under strain for some time. People reported earlier this month that the pair had been experiencing 'tension' and 'stress,' with one insider suggesting that the end 'was a long time coming.'

The couple, who got engaged in 2019 and share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy, had postponed their wedding plans during the pandemic and reportedly continued to drift apart. Perry is currently on her Lifetimes world tour, which some sources say has contributed to the distance.

A source told Us Weekly this week that while the breakup is 'amicable,' the pair have decided to go their separate ways after nearly a decade together.

Enter Kim Kardashian – But After the Fact

Although Bloom and Kardashian's friendly exchange in Venice has set the internet buzzing, there's no indication that she had any involvement in the actor's split from Perry.

In fact, Kardashian only entered the picture publicly after reports of the breakup had already surfaced. The brief, public interaction in Venice appears to be a friendly encounter between familiar faces in the same celebrity circle. However, that doesn't rule out the possibility of something blooming later between them, but for now, everything remains a speculation.

It's also worth noting that Kardashian and Perry have previously shared space without visible tension. The three were photographed together at New York Fashion Week last year, a moment that sparked viral attention when Bloom was caught glancing at Kardashian's derrière while standing beside his then-partner.

Perry later laughed off the viral image, even joking about it during an appearance on the Elvis Duran Show. 'I approve,' she said of Bloom's wandering eye, adding, 'It's been other places. Sorry to tell you.'

Ties That Complicate the Picture

Adding another layer to the speculation is the fact that Perry herself is reportedly close with Kris Jenner, Kardashian's mother. During Sánchez's bachelorette party in May 2025, Kim and Kris were spotted and photographed hanging out with Perry.

In fact, Kris and Khloe were also present during Blue Origin's New Shepard flight, supporting Katy Perry as she travelled to and returned from space as part of an all-female crew.

That connection makes the Venice run-in slightly more complex, at least socially, particularly in such a tightly connected celebrity circle.

While Bloom has been seen without his wedding ring in recent appearances, there has been no official comment from either his or Kardashian's representatives regarding the Venice encounter.

As Perry continues her tour in Australia, Bloom has stepped into the Venetian spotlight solo. Whether the actor is embracing single life or simply navigating a new chapter, his appearance at the Bezos-Sánchez wedding and his reunion with the Kardashians have certainly caught public attention.

Still, despite the whispers and social media speculation, there's no concrete evidence to suggest anything romantic between Bloom and Kardashian.

Whatever the nature of Bloom and Kardashian's exchange, one thing is sure: it all unfolded against the backdrop of one of the most opulent events of the year. With Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's star-studded wedding drawing in names like Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and Queen Rania of Jordan, even a simple greeting was bound to make headlines.
