The 48-year-old British actor, Orlando Bloom, shared inspiring messages on his Instagram stories, reflecting on a moment of renewal days after his split from 40-year-old singer, Katy Perry, was confirmed.

Through the account @taomeditations, Bloom quoted Gautama Buddha: “Every day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most,” accompanying the reflection with the song “A Gentle Sunlight” by James Quinn.

Later, before promoting his film Deep Cover on Prime Video, he shared another motivational quote: “The important thing is to take the first step. Overcoming a small fear gives you courage for the next,” attributed to Daisaku Ikeda.

A relationship of ups and downs

According to PEOPLE, on June 26 the couple, engaged since 2019, had decided to separate. That same day, Bloom attended Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding in Italy alone, where he was photographed wearing athletic wear and greeting the Kardashian sisters.

The wedding has been the most talked about in recent days, as it is estimated that it cost 50 million dollars and was attended by some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

Perry and Bloom began their relationship in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes party. Although they briefly separated in 2017, they resumed their relationship without labels. In 2019, they got engaged and the following year, they announced the pregnancy of their daughter, Daisy Dove. The pandemic postponed their planned wedding in Japan.

In January 2025, Perry spoke to PEOPLE magazine about the challenges of her relationship while on tour, highlighting the importance of understanding “love languages.” Meanwhile, Bloom seems to be focusing on professional projects and messages of self-improvement.

With an on-again, off-again love affair and a family that includes his 14-year-old son, Flynn (from his marriage to Miranda Kerr), the actor is embarking on a new chapter. Will this really be a new beginning? Only time will tell.
