Surprise Aussie Orlando Bloom sighting amid Katy Perry split rumours

Katy Perry's longtime partner Orlando Bloom has been spotted here in Australia, amid rumours the couple's relationship is on the rocks.
Perry is nearing the end of the Australian leg of her Lifetimes tour, with shows in Perth last night and tonight before she finishes her Oz jaunt with four shows in Adelaide.
Earlier this month and several shows into the Australian tour, reports surfaced claiming that Perry's nine-year relationship with actor Bloom was all but done.
'It's over,' a source alleged to Page Six. 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.'
The pair have been engaged since 2019, and welcomed daughter Daisy Dove the following year.
But while Bloom wasn't present for the earlier shows of the Australian visit, it appears he's now flown to Perth to join Perry and their daughter on tour.

He was snapped walking through the Perth CBD yesterday ahead of Perry's first show in the city, with their daughter on his shoulders.
Perry, however, was nowhere to be seen.
A source in People made the somewhat unlikely claim that poor sales of Perry's latest album 143 and its accompanying singles were partly to blame for the alleged breakdown of her relationship.

'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' the outlet quoted a source as saying. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.'
Other reports alleged that tensions surfaced between the couple over Perry's controversial all-female space flight back in April.
A source alleged to The Sun that Bloom was 'frustrated' and 'disappointed' with his partner's decision to go ahead with the brief joy ride into space.
Are a flop album and a five-minute space flight really to blame for this couple's alleged problems?
Perry looked to be enjoying herself before Bloom joined her on tour, partying at a gay club night held in her honour last week in Melbourne.
Perry cheered on the drag shows and mingled with patrons during the 'Poof Doof' party at Melbourne's Chasers nightclub last week, and even addressed the crowd to make a big announcement.

'Because you are my chosen family, a mother must provide for her children,' she told the heaving crowd in the club.
'So as a provider, I would like to open the bar for one hour. The drinks are on me, baby.'
Perry and Bloom had earlier split for a year in 2017 before getting back together.
The pop star addressed the past break on the podcast Call her Daddy last year, saying, 'We weren't really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work.'

Perth teen's crazy outfit results in Katy Perry stage time
An Armadale teen's bizarre decision to dress as an orange 'sandwich board' inspired by Katy Perry's 2022 Menu Log commercial has resulted in an unforgettable moment on stage with the pop star. After turning 16 on Friday, Archie Richards used Perry's Sunday night RAC Arena show as the setting for his birthday party. Summoned to the stage by the performer alongside several other fans in eye-catching outfits, the teen was encouraged to rap a few famous lines from the advert — and even took some snaps with the star he's admired for more than 10 years. Archie Richards has fun on stage with Katy Perry. Credit: Archie Richards 'You always manifest it, but you don't actually think it's going to happen to you,' he told PerthNow. 'It just didn't feel real.' Asked how the Roar singer reacted to his obscure outfit choice, Mr Richards believes he caught her slightly off guard. 'I think she was a bit taken aback. It's not every day you see a teenage boy dressed up in a Menu Log sandwich board,' he joked. Each moment of his performance was caught on camera by his 'ecstatic' friend, with the audience lapping up the youngster's energy. However, his unforgettable experience almost didn't happen. The teen said that his one-of-a-kind outfit was a last-minute DIY job, initially planning to attend as a 'firework' before a change of heart. 'I thought, 'What if I just paint (the cardboard) orange and stick some glitter in the shape of Menu Log on it?',' he recalled. 'I made it the day of the concert in about two hours, so I'm pretty proud of it.' Perry played a mix of her classic hits, such as Dark Horse and Roar, as well as recent hits from her 2024 album titled 143. The 40-year-old's famous husband, actor Orlando Bloom, and her daughter Daisy have accompanied the star in Perth. With Mr Richards part of the next-generation of Perry fans, the teen showed his age when asked how he felt about the Pirates of the Caribbean star's presence in town. 'To be completely honest, I don't know who Orlando Bloom is,' he said. The excited fan said he would be attending the singer's second show in Perth on Monday night, and vowed to 'outfit repeat' after success the first time. 'Same costume, but I'm sitting a lot closer so she'll definitely see me,' he said.

The 74-year-old actress was seen enjoying the sunshine in Sardinia, Italy, looking effortlessly elegant and eternally youthful in a red one-piece swimsuit on Sunday. The former Bond girl looked stunning on the romantic getaway with her long-term partner John Zambetti, who was seen proudly taking photos of her as she dipped her toes into the Mediterranean.

The Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman star is also in town for the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival. where she was honoured with a career achievement award last week. 'I just realised I've been doing this for 61 years,' she said onstage during her acceptance speech at the ceremony attended by the likes of Fran Drescher, Alec Baldwin, Heather Graham, Cuba Gooding Jr and Ashley Greene. 'I grew up with flat feet and a speech impediment, with my parents being told I had to have remedial classes for both,' Seymour added. 'Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it.' Seymour shared a photo of herself rocking another red swimsuit. Also spotted at the festival: Scandal-plagued actor Ezra Miller, making a red carpet return after several years spent out of the spotlight, and looking very different to how fans would remember them. Elsewhere at the festival, during masterclasses organised for the event, Seymour described the course of her career and how proud she is to have 'always broken the glass ceiling'. 'I started out, of course, playing ingenues and romantic heroines,' she said. 'Then when they realised I could cry, I played victims. And then, when they realised I could be evil, I got to play the killers. That was fun.' 'And then, you know, mamas, grandmothers. Then comedy, which is pretty much where I am now.' Seymour says there's no reason women need to slow down in their 70s. Picture:for Turner Now, Seymour is enjoying the success on the Irish mystery series Harry Wild, which was recently renewed for a fifth season on British streaming service Acorn TV.

Seymour, seen here in 2005, has appeared in series such as The Kominsky Method and The Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as the hit comedy Wedding Crashers. Picture:'Nobody gets a series of their own at 70. Nobody,' she pointed out at one masterclass. '[Harry Wild is] very comedic, it's very intelligent – and I'm also a producer.' In a past interview with Hello!, Seymour also said there's no reason to stop living when you reach your seventies. 'The world is against ageing. We hate ageing. We look at ageing and we go, 'Oh, no, there's a wrinkle, oh my God. Get rid of it. Grey hair. No. Terrifying!'' she told the magazine. 'Whereas you can look at it the other way and you can say actually, I now have time in my life to do things I really want to do. Maybe I can now become the person I want to be.'

'Big-time parliament powerhouse': The Hon Julie Bishop reveals her biggest poitical 'flex' during chat with surprising new bestie Tyra Banks
The Honourable Julie Bishop has revealed what it's like to be a "big-time parliament powerhouse" in a new interview with close friend Tyra Banks. The 68-year-old Australian politician, who was the first female Minister for Foreign Affairs from 2013 to 2018 and the first female deputy leader of the Liberal Party from 2007 to 2018, sat down for an interview with the American supermodel on Sunday. It's understood that the pair became fast friends after Banks moved to Australia with her family, including her nine-year-old son, York, and partner, Louis Bélanger-Martin, in late 2023. The unlikely duo were recently spotted dining together at Nobu in Sydney's Crown Casino, sharing happy snaps from the outing on social media. "I have a confession," the former America's Next Top Model judge told Bishop during the interview for The Daily Telegraph. "I kept forgetting you were this big-time parliament powerhouse because you were just so warm, inviting, lovely … and FUN! "It felt like girlfriends catching up – not a government icon and a retired-but-not-really-retired-now supermodel-turned-businesswoman. Ha!" When Banks asked Bishop what the most unexpected thing was in her handbag, the former MP offered a peek into her current work as the United Nations' Special Envoy to Myanmar. "My United Nations ID and the business cards of some very interesting people!" she revealed. Reflecting on her 21-year political career, the Perth-based former politician, who was MP for Curtin from 1998 to 2019, also served as Minister for Education, Science and Training, Minister for Women's Issues and Minister for Ageing. Banks asked her to recall the most unexpected "Julie Bishop flex" she'd ever pulled in a room full of "men in suits". "Sitting around a table with all men to discuss a proposal and trying unsuccessfully to get a word in," Bishop replied. "So waiting until they all agree with each other and are about to move on, then putting my hand up to say, 'There's a fundamental flaw in this. We'll need to start from the beginning, and here's why'." When asked about a time she nearly lost composure in Parliament from laughing, Bishop recounted being caught on live TV playing "rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock" with former Cabinet Minister Christopher Pyne while waiting for Question Time. "We then received a text from staff saying, 'You're on TV – stop it!'" she said. Banks, who recently launched her SMiZE & DREAM ice cream brand with a flagship store in Sydney's Darling Harbour, ended the chat by making plans with Bishop for their next girls' getaway. "I bonded with you in such a beautiful way when we had that first dinner at Nobu at the Crown. What should we do on our next girls' hangout?" she asked. Bishop replied: "I love that we connected so easily with lots to talk about, so I can't wait for our trip to Margaret River to explore the wine region and just hang out for a few relaxing days."
