It comes after reports the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, would "make his debut as a single man" at the A-List wedding of the year's three-day celebration.
Clearly eager to embrace his stunning Italian surroundings - and escape speculation over his situation with the Roar hitmaker, 40 - he has touched down ahead of the nuptials.
Orlando was seen looking casual in a black vest top and shorts, finishing off with white sports socks.
He was seen stretching out as he strolled around the picturesque Italian streets with a pal, before spotting Kim, 44, and sister Khloe, 40, at nearby restaurant, The Gritti Palace.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum Kim looked chic in black Balenciaga trousers paired with a dark bandeau top.
She pulled on a pair of silver sunglasses and brushed her locks into a slicked-back up-do and was seen opening her arms to welcome the Lord Of The Rings actor into an embrace.
Her sister Khloe, decked out in bold leopard-print, could be seen watching the pair as she stood alongside.
The trio then sat at the same table as wedding attendees mingling at the pre-ceremony event.
Jeff and Lauren's wedding venue was recently revealed as an "open air theatre" on a Venetian island.
A series of jaw-droppingly pricey hotel suites have also been booked out for the happy couple and their guests.

Kim and Orlando's warm welcome came after it was reported Katy - who shares daughter Daisy with Orlando from their 10-year partnership - told pals they were over back in January.
The I Kissed A Girl songstress won't be part of the wedding celebrations - despite cutting a striking figure in a see-through top at Lauren's Hen - as she is on tour.
ALL CHANGE
Last week, The Sun reported how Orlando and Katy held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives.
American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Orlando would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dancefloor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials.
An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.
'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.'
It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule.
The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.'
Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin.
Katy, along with Lauren and Gayle King, were hit with a public backlash and those close to Orlando said he had warned Katy about taking part.
They said: 'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.'
DONE DEAL?
Yet it was then claimed Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring.
A source close to the couple said: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done.
'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter.
"But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin.
'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message.
'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.'
The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision.
Reps for the couple refused to comment when approached about their separation in February and again this week.

Tina Knowles, 71, and niece Angie Beyince, 42, match in dark sunglasses and red lipstick at the Bluemarble show during Paris Fashion Week
Tina Knowles and her niece Angie Beyince turned heads as they attended the Bluemarble Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Thursday. The businesswoman, 71, and Angie, 42, posed up a storm for the cameras as they sat front row at the event. For the occasion, Tina looked effortlessly stylish in a black blazer layered over a black halter-neck top and blue jeans. She teamed the look with a pair of black boots and accessorized with gold metal frame sunglasses. Donning her signature red lip, Tina finished her striking ensemble off with stacked gold bangle bracelets. Meanwhile, Angie opted for a double denim look in a fitted zip-up jacket and jeans. She added inches to her frame with a pair of black heels and shielded her eyes with chunky black sunglasses along with a swipe of red lipstick. It comes just months after Tina fought back the tears as she recounted her 'devastating' breast cancer battle and divorce on an episode of Loose Women. Tina, who is mum to the If I Were A Boy singer Beyonce, 43, and Solange Knowles, 38, was recently diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer after doctors discovered two tumors during a mammogram appointment. Her recent diagnosis was touched upon after Charlene was keen to find out if she had a group of close pals that she could turn to in a time of need. Tina said: 'Friendship with women is of the utmost importance to me, it's one of my biggest priorities to stay connected because when I went through that, I depended on my daughters. 'I didn't tell everybody in my friends group. I didn't have to tell them what was going on. 'I just went to Houston, gathered my girlfriends, we went to church, we went to lunch, we went parting at the club, dancing.' As her emotions got the better of her and her eyes started to tell up, she continued: 'I just told them I don't want to talk about what's going on, but I need you right now. 'They were all right there with me. 'They've been a big part of my life, my whole life.' Speaking about the support from her famous daughters, Tina added: 'With this one, they were the first people I told. 'They were the only people I told for a while and they rallied around me, they always have at those very difficult times. 'When I went through divorce, the first time I was devastated, and my girls were right there to lift me up and tell me that I can do things, and make me laugh because you know at those times, you need laughter too and they are my rock really.' Tina shares her daughters with Mathew Knowles. The pair tied the knot in 1980 but divorced in 2011. She later married actor Richard Lawson in 2015, but filed for divorce in 2023. Tina explained that she refuses to be bitter about anything in her life, and now more than ever is confident in her own skin. 'I don't feel any bitterness,' she told Charlene and Jane. She added: 'I say in the book that it's sad that I had to get to 70 to realise I'm whole by myself. 'I would love to have a relationship and be in love. If I don't get that, I will be just fine. I didn't know that before 70.' Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and affects more than two MILLION women a year Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Each year in the UK there are more than 55,000 new cases, and the disease claims the lives of 11,500 women. In the US, it strikes 266,000 each year and kills 40,000. But what causes it and how can it be treated? What is breast cancer? It comes from a cancerous cell which develops in the lining of a duct or lobule in one of the breasts. When the breast cancer has spread into surrounding tissue it is called 'invasive'. Some people are diagnosed with 'carcinoma in situ', where no cancer cells have grown beyond the duct or lobule. Most cases develop in those over the age of 50 but younger women are sometimes affected. Breast cancer can develop in men, though this is rare. Staging indicates how big the cancer is and whether it has spread. Stage 1 is the earliest stage and stage 4 means the cancer has spread to another part of the body. The cancerous cells are graded from low, which means a slow growth, to high, which is fast-growing. High-grade cancers are more likely to come back after they have first been treated. What causes breast cancer? A cancerous tumour starts from one abnormal cell. The exact reason why a cell becomes cancerous is unclear. It is thought that something damages or alters certain genes in the cell. This makes the cell abnormal and multiply 'out of control'. Although breast cancer can develop for no apparent reason, there are some risk factors that can increase the chance, such as genetics. What are the symptoms of breast cancer? The usual first symptom is a painless lump in the breast, although most are not cancerous and are fluid filled cysts, which are benign. The first place that breast cancer usually spreads to is the lymph nodes in the armpit. If this occurs you will develop a swelling or lump in an armpit. How is breast cancer diagnosed? Initial assessment: A doctor examines the breasts and armpits. They may do tests such as a mammography, a special x-ray of the breast tissue which can indicate the possibility of tumours. Biopsy: A biopsy is when a small sample of tissue is removed from a part of the body. The sample is then examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells. The sample can confirm or rule out cancer. If you are confirmed to have breast cancer, further tests may be needed to assess if it has spread. For example, blood tests, an ultrasound scan of the liver or a chest X-ray. How is breast cancer treated? Treatment options which may be considered include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone treatment. Often a combination of two or more of these treatments are used. Surgery: Breast-conserving surgery or the removal of the affected breast depending on the size of the tumour. Radiotherapy: A treatment which uses high energy beams of radiation focused on cancerous tissue. This kills cancer cells, or stops them from multiplying. It is mainly used in addition to surgery. Chemotherapy: A treatment of cancer by using anti-cancer drugs which kill cancer cells, or stop them from multiplying. Hormone treatments: Some types of breast cancer are affected by the 'female' hormone oestrogen, which can stimulate the cancer cells to divide and multiply. Treatments which reduce the level of these hormones, or prevent them from working, are commonly used in people with breast cancer. How successful is treatment? The outlook is best in those who are diagnosed when the cancer is still small, and has not spread. Surgical removal of a tumour in an early stage may then give a good chance of cure. The routine mammography offered to women between the ages of 50 and 71 means more breast cancers are being diagnosed and treated at an early stage.

The 7 shows vanishing from your TV screens in just DAYS after major overhaul – binge them before they're gone
SEVEN popular shows are vanishing from Netflix in a matter of days – so if they're on your list, now's the time to start watching. Viewers in the UK will lose access to the titles on Monday, July 1, as Netflix prepares for a major shake-up to both its content and interface. 2 The changes come as part of a larger overhaul that's already seen a wave of titles removed in recent months, and July looks set to be one of the busiest yet. Among the shows leaving are Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Loudermilk (Seasons 1 to 3), and the anime series Overlord (Seasons 1 to 4). Also departing is the children's favourite Rabbids Invasion (Season 4), Rubble & Crew (Season 1), and the classic magical girl reboot Sailor Moon Crystal (Seasons 1 to 3). Fans of nostalgic family dramas will also lose The Wonder Years (Seasons 1 to 2), which is being pulled as part of a broader Disney Television removal. These removals are largely due to expiring licensing deals and content rotations that happen behind the scenes. But there's more to it this time – with a brand new Netflix home screen redesign just around the corner. The streaming giant is launching its first major redesign for TVs in 12 years. Dubbed 'Eclipse' inside the company, the new interface promises a sleeker, simpler experience that encourages viewers to press play faster and discover content more easily. The layout will shift the main navigation bar to the top of the screen and reduce the number of visible titles at once, focusing instead on bigger images, more dynamic previews and video clips that auto-play after just a few seconds. 'The real goal of this is, how do we make it easier, how do we make it simpler, faster for you to make a great decision?' said Greg Peters, co-CEO of Netflix. One of the most notable features is 'responsive recommendations.' These will tailor suggestions almost instantly, based on what users are actively searching for. So if a viewer looks up thrillers or family films, their home screen will begin updating in real time to show more titles in that category – a big improvement from the previous system, which could take up to a day to refresh. Eunice Kim, the company's chief product officer, said the redesign is meant to serve both types of viewers: those who know exactly what they want, and those who don't. 'The way that the old home page is built, you kind of see box art, box art, box art, box art,' she said. 'It's kind of suboptimal, right?' The new layout aims to slow viewers down just enough to take notice of what's on offer, with titles now showing labels like 'highly rewatched,' '13 weeks in Top 10,' or ' Oscar nominee.' The changes also aim to make live content more prominent – like football games or special events – by showing live animation and movement directly on the home screen. July will also see the departure of several films, including The Equalizer 3 starring Denzel Washington, which is also leaving on July 1. Later in the month, the comedy Dumb Money will exit the platform as well. Overall, at least nine Netflix Originals are scheduled to depart in July, with more likely to follow throughout the year – joining the 250+ titles already gone. Netflix's redesign could have ripple effects across the industry. For years, rival streamers like Disney+, Prime Video, and Max have taken cues from Netflix's interface. With Netflix now breaking from the row-upon-row layout, others may soon follow suit. 2
