Jessica Alba and Orlando Bloom Dating Rumors Explained
"Being single has been up and down for Jessica," a source tells the Daily Mail. "She was family first and always thought when she got married that it was going to be forever, but once her relationship broke down with Cash, the heartache from that was a tough pill to swallow. But divorce was the only option, and now that she has been able to be out with friends and go on some dates, it has been eye opening."
As for Danny, the insider says he's "cool, a nice guy and he is enamored with her, but it is not exclusive. She's not in that frame of mind. He has a chance to make something out of their connection, but she is taking it all in stride. Right now, she's looking to just have fun."
So, what about those aforementioned Orlando rumors? Yes, they're currently filming The Mark together, and yes they're both single coming off breakups, but apparently the vibes are platonic for now.
"Along with being able to date, Jessica has been happy getting back in the fold of filming," the source says. 'She's shooting right now with Orlando Bloom. And before anyone asks, there aren't any sparks between them. It is strictly professional—at least for now."

Orlando Bloom 'won't testify in Katy Perry's legal dispute'
Orlando Bloom will not have to testify in Katy Perry's legal dispute over her $15 million property. The 48-year-old actor recently announced his split from Katy, 40, and he will now not have to be deposed or take the stand in the upcoming trial, Us Weekly reports. In 2020, Katy bought the property from Carl Westcott, before he tried to back out of the deal, arguing that he was under the influence of painkillers when he signed the paperwork. He subsequently sued Bernie Gudvi, Katy's business manager, claiming that the deal was not legally enforceable. Katy's legal team always maintained that the agreement was valid and she took legal ownership of the property in 2024. However, Westcott has continued to pursue the issue and his legal team asked for permission to depose Bloom ahead of the trial, suggesting that he was relevant witness in the case. But those claims have been dismissed by the court, which believes the actor's insights could be obtained through a third party. Katy and Orlando announced their break-up in July, having been engaged since 2019. A statement read: "Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. "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." Meanwhile, Katy - who is one of the best-selling musicians in the world - has recently been linked to Justin Trudeau, the former Prime Minister of Canada. The duo were spotted been spending time together in Montreal, prompting speculation about their relationship status. A source told People: "Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities. "For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two."

Katy Perry Was Granted an Unexpected Win Amid This Surprsing Legal Battle With Ex Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry just scored a quiet but meaningful legal win — and for once, it has nothing to do with charts, who she's working with, or going up into space. It has to do with a house. And, tangentially, with her now ex, Orlando Bloom. On August 1, a Los Angeles judge ruled that Bloom will not be required to testify in Perry's ongoing real estate battle — a small but strategic victory for the pop star's team as they head into the next phase of trial, per Us Weekly. The case centers around a $15 million Santa Barbara mansion Perry purchased in 2020 via her business manager Bernie Gudvi. The seller, 84-year-old veteran Carl Westcott, tried to rescind the deal just days later, claiming he was on painkillers following surgery and mentally unfit to sign. More from SheKnows Orlando Bloom's Ex-Wife Miranda Kerr Subtly Showed Whose Side She's on Amid His & Katy Perry's Breakup Westcott's team had been pushing to depose Bloom, arguing he had relevant knowledge about the property's condition. But Perry's side called the request untimely. The judge agreed, noting the information could be obtained through other means. According to Rolling Stone, sources say Westcott's attorneys aren't backing down — but for now, Bloom's name is off the witness list. It's a rare moment of momentum for Perry, whose side of this case has drawn intense scrutiny online. Critics have zeroed in on Westcott's age, health, and veteran status, questioning the optics of a mega-rich pop star acquiring property from a bedridden man with Huntington's disease. Even Real Housewives alum Kameron Westcott — Carl's daughter-in-law — publicly accused Perry of exploiting his condition, calling the singer's actions 'disgusting.' Perry, who has faced similar controversy before — including a failed attempt to buy a Los Feliz convent — has stayed mostly silent. Her reps confirmed her split from Bloom just weeks before the August 1 hearing, saying the former couple are focused on co-parenting their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy. But timing hasn't done much to soften the headlines. Whether or not Bloom testifies, his presence in the case lingers. So does the question of what — and who — this win ultimately costs.

Orlando Bloom won't testify at Katy Perry's trial over $15 million mansion
Orlando Bloom won't be required to testify at ex-fiancée Katy Perry's upcoming trial regarding the $15 million mansion she bought from an elderly Texas millionaire, who later claimed he wasn't in the right state of mind to make such a deal. Los Angeles County Judge Joseph Lipner ruled Friday that 85-year-old Carl Westcott's efforts to put Bloom on the stand served no purpose other than to 'make it a celebrity circus,' Rolling Stone reported. Westcott had sought for the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' alum to testify in the case, claiming he had information that was relevant to arguments over millions of dollar of repairs that Perry said were necessary due to damage done between the years she purchased the property and when she actually took over control. Judge Lipner said it was not necessary for Bloom to be questioned about the repairs, and that Westcott should instead broach the matter with 'the construction person who actually did it.' The legal saga all started in July 2020 when Westcott tried to back out of the sale just days after signing the contract with Perry. He claimed to have been on painkillers and suffering from dementia symptoms that would make him unfit to finalize the deal. At a liability trial in 2023, the judge ultimately ruled that Westcott was perfectly competent at the time he signed the contract. Perry was finally given the keys to the property in April 2024, though she claims extensive repairs due to 'lack of maintenance' over the previous four years — as well as the loss of rental income — set her back nearly $6 million. Perry is seeking to be reimbursed, arguing that Wescott was responsible for handing over the home in the condition it was in when she bought it. Wescott claims Perry never provided final receipts for the repairs that were done, and instead only gave estimates. The 40-year-old Grammy nominee is expected to testify during the bench trial beginning on Aug. 21 to determine how much she's owed in damages. Westcott had said Bloom too should testify because he was present for the spring 2024 home inspections and allegedly said he'd be in charge of handling the repairs on Perry's behalf. The latest development comes nearly a month after Perry's representatives released a joint statement confirming that she'd ended her nine-year, on-and-off relationship with Bloom, to whom she got engaged in 2019. The 'Firework' singer and the 'Lord of the Rings' star share 4-year-old daughter Daisy.
