A photo of Orlando Bloom and Rachel Lynn Matthews was taken on Halloween. Matthews was dressed as Orlando Bloom’s former girlfriend, Katy Perry.
In the pictures shared on Matthews’ Instagram Stories, Bloom, dressed as a skeleton, was seen with his arm around actress Rachel Lynn Matthews. She was wearing a blue bodysuit and a black wig, reminiscent of Perry’s attire during her 11-minute Blue Origin spaceflight. Matthews, 32, also posted a photo mimicking a famous image of Perry kissing the ground upon returning to Earth, with the caption “Take up space!”
People reached out to Bloom’s representative for comment, but received no immediate response.
It was first announced on June 26 that Perry, 41, and Bloom, 48, had ended their relationship, with their representatives officially confirming on July 3. They share a daughter named Daisy, who is five years old.
Sources previously told PEOPLE that Katy Perry aimed to maintain a positive relationship with Orlando Bloom, emphasizing that “he’s the father of their daughter, and that will always be a priority for her.”
An insider stated, “They’ve been through a lot together, and even though they’ve decided to go their separate ways, they still respect each other. They remain in contact and collaborate on raising Daisy.” Both are committed to preserving a friendly relationship for their daughter’s sake. Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, are also friends of the couple. Lauren and Perry were both part of Blue Origin’s space mission on April 14, and Bloom attended their wedding in Venice, Italy, in June.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star spoke about his breakup during a September 5 appearance on Today with Craig Melvin while promoting his film The Cut. Perry and Bloom have been quite private about the details of their split.
When asked how life has changed since his last visit, Bloom responded, “Hey, I’m doing fine. Thank you so much,” adding about their daughter Daisy, “She’s gorgeous. Did I leave everything behind for this movie? I’m thankful for everything.” He then expressed optimism, saying, “We’re doing great. Just love.”
Fans speculate that Perry’s recent single “Bandaids” might indirectly reflect on the end of their nine-year relationship. In the music video directed by Christian Breslauer, Perry appears in a kitchen where she accidentally drops her ring down the drain. Throughout the video, she faces a series of near-death experiences with a humorous twist until the finale, when a gas leak causes an explosion that blows her up. She sings, “Promise God I tried,” and reflects on the pain of feeling let down, saying, “It’s not what you did; it’s what you didn’t. You were there, but you weren’t,” and “It doesn’t help to send flowers right now or tell me that you’ll change when you don’t.” Later, she nostalgically mentions the good times they shared, asserting, “We never faked our pictures.”
Recently, Perry revealed during her Lifetime Tour stop in Prague that she is dating someone new after her breakup. She has also been seen spending time with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
