Pop star Katy Perry baffled fans when she was spotted onboard a yacht with her ex Orlando Bloom just days after they had announced their split after nine years together
Katy Perry surprised fans when she was spotted back with Orlando Bloom on a lavish holiday despite their recent split. The pop star, 40, announced her split from the actor, 48, last week but their latest public appearance left heads scratching.
They were spotted with newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez on what appeared to be part of the couple’s honeymoon. Katy and Orlando, who said they are now focusing on co-parenting their daughter Daisy Dove, hopped on board Bezos’ superyacht in the Mediterranean with their little girl. It came just days after the former couple revealed they had decided to “shift” their relationship to focus on just parenting. Many expected they would want to be apart from each other as they navigate the new chapter.
Instead, Katy and Orlando appeared relaxed and happy as they spent time with the newlyweds in their Honeymoon bliss. Reports have claimed the pair split in early June but still decided to go-ahead with their summer holiday plans in Italy.
Lauren and Jeff joined in the trip as they had lunch together on a yacht off the Amalfi Coast. The recent bride is thought to have flew in for the lunch date from their mega-yacht, which is currently in Croatia.
Katy and Orlando have surrounded themselves with their nearest and dearest as they are thought to also be with the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s son Flynn, 14, and his sister Samantha. Orlando’s manager is also thought to be on the trip.
The former pair are believed to have already split by the time Orlando headed Down Under to visit Katy with their daughter while she performed on tour. Katy is said to have felt “raw” and was tearful at the time, according to Daily Mail.
However, the pair have been trying their best to get through the split as best as possible. It has been claimed back in May, when the holiday was planned, it was clear things were turning sour.
The Italian trip was considered to be a break-up holiday, according to the publication. Katy, who missed Bezos and Sanchez’s extravagant £48 million wedding in Venice while touring in Australia, may have been making up for lost time when she spent time with the couple.
In photos from the lunch date, the Dark Horse singer looked at ease as she enjoyed the Italian coast and watched Orlando play affectionately with their daughter. Orlando, for his part, seemed equally content as he was seen throwing Daisy into the air before catching her and kissing her on the cheek.
Last week, the pair officially called it quits on their nine-year romance – six years after the Pirates of The Caribbean actor popped the question.
In a statement, their respective representatives declared: “Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
The Mirror has contacted Katy and Orlando’s representatives for comment.
