Orlando Bloom opposed Katy Perry's plan to become an ‘astronaut'
Though Katy Perry gushed Orlando Bloom was 'all about the journey' in a recent radio interview, a source claimed the actor 'did not think going on the mission was a good idea.'
The source insisted 48-year-old Orlando 'knew she would get backlash' from the mission, and was 'frustrated' and 'disappointed' with her decision to take part in it.
'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face backlash,' the source explained of the actor, who has been engaged to the pop star, 40, since 2019.
'He always thought it was a stupid idea and she wouldn't get anything positive out of it.'
Reps for Katy and Orlando did not respond to The US Sun's request for comment.
Katy famously joined the April 15 all-female flight despite her fiance's alleged thoughts.
Orlando and the pair's 4-year-old daughter Daisy watched from the crowd near Blue Origin's Texas facilities, owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Katy was ridiculed by the public after her return.
Some slammed her holding up a daisy and her tour set list while aboard, and then dramatically kissing the ground upon landing.
Other celebrities including Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Munn ripped the flight as a whole.
'That space mission this morning. That's end time s**t. This is beyond parody,' Emily fumed.
'Saying that you care about Mother Earth and it's about Mother Earth and you're going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that's single-handedly destroying the planet?
'Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what? What was the marketing there?'
'What's the point? Is it historic that you guys are going on a ride? I think it's a bit gluttonous,' Olivia said on the Today show.
'Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind. What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?'
The disagreement between the couple made Orlando believe Katy 'doesn't take him seriously.'
'He has been frustrated that his opinion is not being taken seriously or even heard,' the source continued. 'He feels she is a different person lately.'
The source confirmed rumours that the two have hit a 'rough patch' and are leading separate lives.
According to reports this week, the couple is spending more and more time apart.
People reported that Orlando and Katy faced 'tension' after she felt frustrated with her latest album 143 and world tour's bad reviews.
As The US Sun reported in February, the Lifetimes tour has suffered from poor ticket sales.
After the tour kicked off, fans ripped her dance moves and costumes.
Orlando and Katy have not publicly responded to the rumours their relationship is in trouble.

The Undertaker reveals ‘terrifying' heart condition he never knew he had
WWE legend The Undertaker has bravely opened up about how a lifesaving heart operation helped him escape death. The Hall of Fame wrestler, whose real name is Mark Calaway, retired back in 2020 after one of the most legendary careers in sport's entertainment. He was a staple piece of WWE for decades and has since continued to give back through his Six Feet Under podcast and ambassadorial role for the company. In the weeks leading up to the WrestleMania 41 weekend in April, Calaway was quietly battling something far more real than the on-screen storylines of the wrestling world. According to his wife Michelle McCool, the warning signs began in March, when routine cardiac tests flagged something off with her husband's heart, The Sun reports. Follow-up checks revealed Taker had likely been in chronic atrial fibrillation (AFib) for an unknown length of time. The 60-year-old had no noticeable symptoms beyond occasional breathlessness — something he'd chalked up to nothing serious. He was eventually hospitalised for four nights with an ejection fraction (a measure of how much blood the heart pumps with each beat) of just 30 per cent — a dangerously low number for a man of his size and age. And yet, even with his heart rate unstable, Taker insisted on going to WrestleMania two weeks later, to be there for McCool's Hall of Fame induction — and to induct her personally. McCool, a two-time WWE Women's Champion, said on the Six Feet Under podcast: 'You weren't supposed to go anywhere. You didn't want me to tell anybody. 'That's that old school mentality. I'm not mad at it — because I'd probably be the same patient — but it was terrifying. 'The next morning after returning home from WrestleMania, we were in the hospital in Las Vegas at 6am for a little bit of heart surgery.' Taker, whose older brother died from a heart attack in 2020, then begrudging admitted: 'I wasn't supposed to go to Vegas.' McCool, who is Taker's third wife, added: 'You didn't want me to tell anybody. I couldn't focus on anything else. 'All I wanted to focus on was you, your heart, getting the best cardiologists, a lot of phone calls, several nights in the hospital. And by the grace of God, you are here. 'But out of the words of the doctor himself 'it could have turned out badly if we had not found out that very day'.' Taker then coyly joked: 'Yeah, well now I'm as strong as a Bull.' Before McCool, who is 15 years his junior, joked back: 'And thankfully you can still pretend that you're a dead man. Because I saved your life.'
