Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom has been seen in Venice, without Katy Perry, whilst reportedly in the city for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding celebrations
Actor Orlando Bloom has been seen ‘flying solo’ at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding celebrations in Italy this week. It comes amid ongoing rumours that the Lord of the Rings star has separated from his own fiancée Katy Perry.
Orlando, 48, has reportedly split from Katy, 40, after nine years together. There has been much speculation over their relationship in recent weeks, including over the prospect of “make or break talks” in the future. The pair, who share four-year-old daughter Daisy, have not confirmed the rumoured split.
Now, ahead of Jeff and Lauren’s nuptials, Orlando was spotted getting into a water taxi whilst leaving the Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice with other guests. He’s said to have been on his way to a pre-wedding reception today.
Photos show Orlando dressed in a white shirt and beige trousers for the occasion. He’s seen giving a “peace” sign to onlookers at one point while getting into the boat.
He’s among the celebrities thought to be attending the lavish three-day celebration of the couple in Venice, which kicked off on Thursday. Other rumoured guests include Mick Jagger, Kim Kardashian and Leonardo DiCaprio, as reported by the Daily Star.
His solo appearance comes following reports that he is “now a single man,” with there speculation that he could make his “debut” at the wedding. A source told TMZ: “He’s the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard!”
Speaking to US Weekly, a source said: “Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable.” They added that the split is “not contentious” at the moment and said that Katy – who had been onboard Bezos’ Blue Origin space flight in April – is “upset”.
The source said: “Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.” It’s further claimed by the source that the split was “a long time coming,” with things said to have been “tense” between them for months.
Bezos’ extravagant wedding plans have reportedly been derailed as local protestors disrupted the city. He’s said to have been compelled to change his wedding venue after residents of threatened to fill the historic canals with inflatable crocodiles.
It’s been reported that guests were originally set to celebrate at the 16th-century Scuola Grande della Misericordia. The 61 year old billionaire is now thought to have opted for the Arsenale, considered a more secure location away from the city centre, instead.
The guest list for Bezos and Sánchez’s wedding is rumoured to include stars like Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Salma Hayek Pinault, Sir Elton John, and Lady Gaga. Sánchez, meanwhile, is said to be organising her nuptials like “every other bride” and teased on the Today show last year: “I have to say, I do have a Pinterest.”
