Orlando Bloom shares cryptic post about new beginnings after Katy Perry split
The British actor posted quotes from Buddha and Japanese author Daisaku Ikeda, emphasising the importance of taking the first step towards a new beginning.
Bloom's first post featured a quote from Buddha, reading, "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most."
He followed it up with another post quoting Daisaku Ikeda, which read, "The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next."
The posts come after Bloom's split from Katy Perry, with whom he shares a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
According to Page Six, Bloom attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice, Italy, solo, where he reportedly partied hard and buddied up with Leonardo DiCaprio.
He was also spotted taking a stroll with Sydney Sweeney and Tom Brady in Venice.
Earlier, sharing her "mood," Katy Perry also posted a carousel of photos on Instagram from her day at Rottnest Island in Australia on June 27.
Her visit to the nature reserve came a day after a source confirmed to People that the longtime couple had called off their nearly 6-year engagement.
Among the collection of photos shared was Perry posing alongside a quokka before later spotting a chocolate version of the animal in a shop.
She also shared a video of herself being surrounded by birds on the beach and embracing "brain rot" with her team while on a boat.
Perry appeared in good spirits in all of the photos and clips taken just hours before she was set to perform in Adelaide as part of the sold-out Australia leg of her Lifetimes tour.
"mood: Quokka," the "Hot N Cold" musician captioned the post. (ANI)

UK's ITV half-year comes in ahead on advertising beat, shares rise
British broadcaster ITV said its first-half performance beat forecasts, boosted by better-than-expected total advertising revenue, and strong content demand at its Studios business, pushing its shares higher. ITV is Britain's biggest free-to-air commercial broadcaster, with two divisions, Media and Entertainment, which includes its broadcast channels and streaming service ITVX, while Studios makes content such as 'The Devil's Hour' for Amazon Prime Video, and 'Run Away' for Netflix. Shares in ITV traded up 9% in early deals, hitting their highest for a year, after it said it was on track to meet targets, and had outperformed in a tough advertising market, given the comparison against the same period last year when the Men's Euros soccer tournament sent revenues soaring. "We've been able to mitigate a softer market," CEO Carolyn McCall told reporters on Thursday. ITV was also positive on the cost outlook, saying it had found an additional 15 million pounds ($20.4 million) of permanent non-content cost savings for this year, and added it would spend 1.23 billion pounds on content in total in 2025, lower than the 1.25 billion pounds previously guided. ITV has for some time been the subject of takeover speculation. In April, reports said it could sell its Studios business or merge it with a rival. "We won't comment on any of the speculation that has been going on for, I don't know, years," McCall said. "This whole sector, everyone talks to everyone, and everyone is talking to everyone. And you know that the board will keep all options under review." The group posted total advertising revenue (TAR) down 7% for the first six months, beating a consensus forecast for a fall of 8%. At ITV Studios, where profits will be weighted to the second half due to the timing of high-margin sales such as Rivals season 2 for Disney+, the company said its outlook was unchanged after revenues grew 3% in the first-half.
