New Flame? Orlando Bloom spotted with younger actress who mocked Katy Perry
It appears that the drama between Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry is far from over. While Perry seemed to reference her former fiancé in her latest single “Bandaid,” Bloom may have reacted in his own subtle, and rather shady way, along with a woman currently at the center of dating rumors.

The Photo That Sparked Buzz

Earlier this weekend, Bloom, 48, shared a selfie showcasing actress Rachel Lynn Matthews, 32, who was dressed in an outfit that several fans saw as a pointed reference to Perry. The photo rapidly caught attention as Matthews wore a Blue Origin outfit, seemingly resembling Perry's recent 11-minute flight on Jeff Bezos’ space venture, a journey that went viral after she kissed the ground upon landing.

According to the DailyMail, Matthews herself also uploaded an image mocking Perry’s “kissing the ground” moment, adding fuel to the digital uproar. Fans were quick to criticize Bloom for posing with someone dressed in an outfit several interpreted as poking humor at his ex-fiancée.


A Halloween Joke or Hidden Shade?

Observers have been classified. While some called the image as “mean-spirited,” others argued the outfit was simply a pop culture reference. As one source stated , “Matthews has no loyalty to Perry. They don’t know each other, and Matthews went as one of the biggest pop culture moments in 2025 for Halloween.”

Still, several feel Bloom’s decision to pose with her was in poor taste. As one fan mentioned, “Was the costume mean-spirited? Yes. Was Bloom shady for posing for this pic? Oh yeah. But are they dating? Only time will tell.”

A Look Back at Perry and Bloom’s Relationship

Perry and Bloom’s romance started back in 2016 after they met at a Golden Globes afterparty, with the pair confirming their bond later that year through a now-archived Instagram post. Though they briefly separated in 2017, they reunited within months and got engaged officially on Valentine’s Day 2019.

Their love story seemed to blossom when they revealed their pregnancy in March 2020 in the clip for Perry’s track “Never Worn White.” Their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, was born on August 27, 2020.

However, after nearly nine years together, the pair separated ways in 2025. Since then, Perry has allegedly been dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, marking a fresh chapter for both the icons.
