Newly Single Orlando Bloom Caught Getting Handsy With Glamorous Stranger After Jeff Bezos Party Storms Out

Orlando Bloom is fully embracing his single life and making the most of it with headlines to match.

Less than a week after news broke of his split from Katy Perry, Bloom was caught cozying up to an unnamed brunette at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding festivities in Venice.

As a sudden thunderstorm forced guests to leave a lavish welcome party, Bloom found himself sharing intimate laughs, close chats, and even an arm draped around the glamorous guest on a private boat ride.

On Thursday night, Bezos and Sanchez's three-day wedding celebration in Italy took a dramatic turn when a sudden thunderstorm forced the guests to flee the wedding party early. However, Orlando Bloom didn't let the incident discourage him from having fun as a single man.

Amid the chaos, the actor was photographed leaving the Madonna dell'Orto cloister with a mysterious brunette in a beautiful green dress, their bodies close as they crossed the wet stone to a waiting boat.

Once inside the boat, pictures obtained by the Daily Mail showed Bloom wrapping an arm around her as they laughed, chatted, and cruised back to the Aman Hotel, clearly enjoying the intimate escape from the storm-flooded event.

Bloom's handsy engagement with the mystery lady comes after he turned heads in Venice with a flirty air-kiss for Kim Kardashian as he made his first public appearance since splitting from Katy Perry.

He was captured on camera in a sleek black muscle tank top, exiting a water taxi at Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's star-studded wedding festivities.

The "Lord of the Rings" star greeted Kim Kardashian with a warm kiss on both cheeks and a close embrace, sparking speculation after photos of the encounter leaked online.

The moment reignited interest in a viral shot from New York Fashion Week 2024, where Bloom was seen admiring Kim's bottom while still with Perry, something the singer later revealed she "approved" of.

Nevertheless, Bloom seemed at ease amid the celebrity crowd, exchanging more laughs with Kim, her sister Khloe Kardashian, and mom Kris Jenner.

Orlando Bloom's recent exchanges have sparked a wave of reactions, as his nearly eight-year relationship with Perry just ended.

The pair began dating in 2016, split for two years, and eventually reconciled in 2018. The following year, the 47-year-old popped the question, and for the next couple of years, fans looked forward to the duo's big day.

Sadly, they reportedly encountered multiple rough patches and ultimately called it quits.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, an insider revealed why Bloom and Perry never tied the knot. "They were looking forward to marrying fast after getting engaged, and then COVID got in the way," they told the outlet.

"[When] they got engaged, she was expecting, so everything came fast, and she was looking forward to heading down the aisle pregnant. There just wasn't any time to put a wedding together," the source continued.

"The chances of breaking up were more likely than getting married," the insider shared.

On the other hand, another source attributed Bloom and Perry's relationship woes to the "Dark Horse" singer's busy schedule due to her Lifetime's Tour.

"Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments, have been living separate lives," they told The Sun.

"They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months," the source added. "It has been 'go, go, go' and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened."

The source noted that the former couple planned to reunite during Perry's break after the Australian leg of her tour on June 30 to talk things out.

In addition to her busy schedule, Perry's collaboration with Dr Luke on her album reportedly caused tension in her relationship with Orlando Bloom.

Dr. Luke, a figure long marred by legal disputes and serious sexual assault allegations from Kesha, returned as a co-producer on her single "Woman's World," triggering backlash from fans and critics who called the partnership tone-deaf and insensitive.

Sources say the negativity placed Perry and Bloom under stress, resulting in tension in their romance.

"Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album," they told PEOPLE. "It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension."
