Newly-single Orlando Bloom spotted hanging out with Sydney Sweeney in Venice – weeks after she confirmed fiance split
ORLANDO Bloom enjoyed the stunning sights of Venice with equally beautiful companion Sydney Sweeney after they attended the showbiz wedding of the year. The screen star, 48, "made his debut as a single man" at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's A-List nuptials just days after his split with popstar Katy Perry was revealed. 11 Newly single Sydney Sweeney and Orlando Bloom were spotted enjoying a stroll in Venice following Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding Credit: BackGrid 11 Sydney, 27, looked stunning in a black floral midi dress Credit: BackGrid 11 They were joined by a group as they soaked up the sights of the European city Credit: BackGrid 11 Orlando - who was said to be making his debut as a single man at Amazon founder Jeff's wedding - opted for all-black sports attire Credit: BackGrid 11 Sydney opted for red kitten heel shoes for her walk Credit: BackGrid 11 The pair's split was revealed this month Credit: Getty 11 The pair were part of the A List contingent to celebrate Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' wedding top journalist Lauren Sanchez Credit: Reuters The pair, who share daughter Daisy, aged four, had been engaged to be wed following nine years together. Yet after Roar hitmaker Katy, 40, was said to have already told pals their relationship was as good as done - and reports claimed the Lord Of the Rings alum "won't win her back" - the pair appear to be broken up for good. After lapping up the celebration vibes at Jeff and Lauren's the three-day celebration, which saw the happy couple said I Do at the stunning San Giorgio Maggiore monastery in Venice, Orlando, 48, hit the picturesque streets of the Italian city with Sydney, 27. It came after she was spotted leaving the Friday nuptials donning a pastel dress and skyscraper heels. For their outings, she stuck to her summer style with a plunging black froral midi dress. She paired her sleeveless attire with red kitten toe heels and added a pair of sunglasses as she strolled outside next to the Pirates of the Caribbean alum. Sydney left her blonde hair in loose waves over her shoulders but kept a serious expression as they headed out in the sunshine alongside each other, but with the rest of a wider group. The In The Vault star is in a similar romantic position to fellow big screen star Orlando, after having split with her fiance of seven years just months ago. Sydney and Jonathan Davino, who got engaged in 2022, have chosen to spend time apart after their relationship hit the rocks, according to insiders. The pair were part of the 200-strong A List contingent heading to Venice for the wedding - and clearly eager to explore the European hotspot in mode depth. Heartbroken Katy Perry told pals in January that Orlando Bloom relationship was OVER - as star removes engagement ring Other VIPs including Oprah Winfrey and Bezos' stepfather Mike Bezos were snapped leaving their hotels, while security was tight across the city. At least 95 private jets are said to have landed for the occasion. Their wedding venue was recently revealed as an "open air theatre" on the island, while a series of jaw-droppingly pricey hotel suites were also booked out for the happy couple and their guests. Meanwhile, Orlando was seen embracing Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum Kim Kardashian, 44, at the three-day celebration. It came after he was caught "ogling" the Skims founder and Hulu Tv star in an image taken on a night out with popstar Katy, 40. LETTING SLIP It has previously been claimed that Orlando's former fiance 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 at the time: '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. 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.' 11 Sydney was seen leaving the Italian nuptials in a flowing floral dress Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 11 Orlando, 48, shared an embrace with Kim Kardashian ahead of the ceremony Credit: BackGrid 11 Mum of one Katy is said to have told pals their relationship was over earlier this year Credit: Getty
