Who is Orlando Bloom dating, a Katy Perry lookalike? Here's what reports say

Orlando Bloom sparked fresh dating speculation after he was captured alongside influencer and model Meredith Duxbury during a glamorous Met Gala afterparty in New York City. Several social media users instantly noticed her similarities to Bloom’s former fiancée, pop singer Katy Perry.

TMZ says Orlando Bloom “did not know Duxbury at all”

Despite the viral photographs intensifying dating rumours, TMZ later shared an unexpected update surrounding the situation. Citing unnamed sources, the outlet stated that Bloom “did not know Duxbury at all” despite being captured with her outside the venue. TMZ instead reported that the star attended the occasion with Swiss model Luisa Laemmel and later left the party along with her. The report immediately shifted attention toward Bloom and Laemmel, whose speculated relationship has been the major topic of discussion for many months.

Orlando Bloom and Luisa Laemmel relationship rumours

Bloom and Laemmel were earlier spotted together at the Super Bowl previously this year, where they reportedly seemed to be affectionate while attending the event.

In March, The Sun reported that Bloom had been quietly dating Laemmel for many months. A source quoted by the publication cited, “Orlando and Luisa have been quietly seeing each other for several months.”

The insider mentioned, “They’ve become a proper little family unit and Orlando even flew his teacup poodle Biggie Smalls over for the trip. He is based in LA while she’s in New York, so they don’t get to see each other all the time. But there’s a real spark.”

Neither Bloom nor Laemmel has publicly confirmed the speculated relationship.
