Orlando Bloom posts cryptic message amid Katy Perry split
The actor, who has reportedly split from Katy Perry after nearly 10 years together, took to social media to share a cryptic message about a 'new beginning' just days after whispers of his break-up with the singer came to light.
'The important thing is to take that first step,' the actor wrote on his Instagram Story on Monday.
'Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.'
Bloom, 48, credited the quote as his 'daily encouragement' from Buddhist author Daisaku Ikeda.
Before sharing Ikeda's quote, the Pirates of the Caribbean star also shared a quote from Buddha.
'Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters the most,' the quote read, which Bloom soundtracked to James Quinn's A Gentle Sunlight.
Bloom's moment of reflection comes just days after he partied solo at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's $50 million Venetian wedding.
At the lavish nuptials, Bloom was seen linking up with Tom Brady and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The group buddied up with the Kardashians and Sydney Sweeney at their hotel following the reception, TMZ reported.
Over the weekend, Bloom and Sweeney, 27, were photographed taking a stroll in Venice together alongside Tom Brady.
And while Perry was not in attendance at the wedding, Sánchez made sure to let Perry know she was missed.
After the singer, 40, insinuated she was in a good 'mood' on Instagram as her ex partied without her, Sánchez commented on the post, 'We miss you Katy,' alongside a heart emoji.
Earlier this month, Page Six reported that Bloom's relationship with the 'California Gurls' singer was on the rocks.
'It's over,' the source said.
On June 26, Us Weekly claimed the on-again, off-again couple had officially called it quits after nearly a decade together.
The pair met in January 2016 at a Golden Globe Awards afterparty. Bloom ultimately popped the all-important question on Valentine's Day in 2019. They welcomed daughter Daisy the following August.
The actor is also dad to son Flynn, 14, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr.
Perry, for her part, was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.

Katy Perry files restraining order against homeless man
Katy Perry has filed a restraining order against a homeless man who has reportedly shown up at her California mansion. According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, the 'Roar' singer filed a temporary legal protection order against Ross Elliott Hedrick. The order claims Mr Hedrick, 43, made several approaches to the one of the pop star's Montecito homes during the month of May. He allegedly refused to take 'no' as an answer when trying to enter the grounds. It has not been reported which of Perry's two Montecito homes Hedrick allegedly turned up at. The Grammy-winner requested in the filing that the order of protection include her former partner Orlando Bloom, from whom she has since split. Prior to their split, Perry and Bloom are understood to have been residing in an expansive Mediterranean-style mansion the singer purchased for $US14.2 million ($A21.7 million) in 2020, Realtor reports. Their second Montecito home, which was snapped up earlier that same year, is reportedly being rented out to actor Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger. The former couple's primary residence has been undergoing extensive renovations in recent months. However, according to Perry's restraining order request, that hasn't stopped Mr Hedrick from showing up several times. Perry's lawyers claim that the 'transient' man was arrested after he turned up at the home the first time, only to return to the dwelling one week later. The singer's security team noted Mr Hedrick was thought to have been holding an aerosol can and a butane lighter the first time he showed up at her dwelling. On the second occasion, they claim Mr Hedrick threw a blanket over the security gate. The A-lister's security team claimed the 43-year-old poses a great threat to Perry, adding they believe he will continue to try to trespass onto the property. The filing also included screenshots of footage taken by Perry's security camera, which reportedly show Hedrick on the grounds. News of the restraining order comes days after it was revealed that Bloom and Perry had called it quits after nine years together. According to one insider, the duo — who share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy — remain 'amicable' amid their split and are focused on co-parenting together. 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' a source told Us Weekly. 'It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.' 'They are still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together,' a second insider added. 'They aren't making drastic changes for Daisy's sake. They will keep their lives in Montecito. 'They are prioritising stability and consistency for Daisy.' It's unclear who will take ownership of the property, however records indicate only Perry's name was on the deed. The 'Birthday' hit maker purchased the Mediterranean-style mansion just months after buying another Montecito abode over which she became embroiled in a bitter legal battle with its former owner. Perry struck a deal to purchase the property from veteran Carl Westcott for $US15 million ($A22 million) back in 2020. Days later, the seller tried to back out of the deal, claiming he had been under the influence of painkillers when he agreed to the sale. 'The combination of his age, frailty from his back condition and recent surgery, and the opiates he was taking several times a day rendered Mr. Westcott of unsound mind,' Mr Westcott's lawyers stated in court documents. However, Perry's representatives argued that Westcott, a business mogul who founded 1-800-Flowers, had been of sound mind when he agreed to the deal and that he only wanted to back out because he hadn't been able to find an alternative Montecito property to his liking or budget. Their years-long legal battle was finally resolved in December 2023, when a judge ruled in Perry's favour and ordered the original sale contract — which was arranged via the pop star's business manager, Bernie Gudvi — should be upheld. Perry officially took possession of the home in May 2024. The sprawling compound sits among the Santa Ynez foothills and has eight bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, a tennis court, two guesthouses, and a pool. It's unclear whether Bloom was involved in the purchase of the sprawling abode. However, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean 'star was dragged into Perry's legal battle when he was subpoenaed to testify in a trial during which the 'ET' singer was attempting to claim damages of up to $US6 million ($A13 million) from Mr Westcott. Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes after-party, where they fought over an In 'N' Out burger, the singer previously revealed during an episode of 'American Idol'. Rumours of a split have dogged the couple for years now; however, Bloom appeared to confirm the latest speculation when he made a solo arrival in Venice for the wedding of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancee, Lauren Sanchez — with whom Perry is also understood to be close friends. One source told TMZ that Bloom is refusing to let the split get him down, claiming the actor is planning to let his hair down during the wedding celebrations. 'He's the life of the party and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!' the insider claimed.

Katy Perry almost falls out of suspended sphere during concert malfunction at Adelaide show
Katy Perry suffered a scary incident at her Adelaide concert that left her dangling from a suspended metal sphere. The American pop star performed at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Monday night during her Lifetimes tour, with footage from the incident only going viral today on social media. In the clip, Perry could be seen inside a massive sphere contraption that was suspended from the roof of the arena. The sphere then unexpectedly tilted, leaving Perry in danger of slipping out of the cage and onto the crowd gathered below. The arena went dark as several stage crew members rushed to help as Perry tried to maintain her balance while clinging to the bars and her wrists straps. 'I was really scared,' the fan who shared the video on X tweeted. 'Thank god she always holds onto the wrist straps because otherwise she would've hurt herself badly,' another chimed in, as one shared, 'She ended up jumping down with security's help.' 'Potentially could have been bad but once it lowered, she was pretty safe,' yet another fan tweeted. Although Perry was able to get down and back on the stage, one concertgoer noted that the singer appeared 'kinda shaken' when performing her next song, Nirvana. Perry's Monday show wraps the Aussie leg of her Lifetimes tour, where she played to sold-out arenas in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide — all while navigating increasing reports that she has split from her fiance, Orlando Bloom, after nearly 10 years together. On Monday, when Perry was performing in Adelaide, the 48-year-old actor took to social media to share a cryptic message about a 'new beginning'. 'The important thing is to take that first step,' read a post he shared on his Instagram Story. 'Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.' The Pirates of the Caribbean star also shared a quote from Buddha, which read, 'Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters the most.' Perry's stage incident comes days after Beyonce also suffered a similar malfunction during her Cowboy Carter tour. The singer was performing her country hit 16 Carriages at Houston's NRG Stadium inside a suspended red convertible car on Sunday when it titled at a sharp angle, leaving the star holding on to one of the cables attached to the car. 'Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,' Beyonce said into the microphone as the music cut out. She remained suspended in the air above the crowd as the stage crew tried to get her down. 'Thank y'all for your patience,' she calmly told the crowd when she was finally brought down.
