Orlando Bloom is reportedly fuming over Katy Perry’s recent space adventure, and it’s not just because of the zero gravity.
According to sources close to the couple, Orlando did not approve of Katy’s decision to join the controversial all-female Blue Origin space flight on April 15, despite her public claims that he was “all about the journey.” While Katy may have painted a picture of support during her radio appearances, behind the scenes, Orlando was allegedly “frustrated” and “disappointed” with her choice to take part in the mission, which was backed by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin and has since drawn major backlash.
The couple, who have been engaged since 2019, are now reportedly going through a rough patch, and this high-profile disagreement hasn’t helped. Sources say Orlando had warned Katy early on that going to space might not be the smartest move, especially from a PR standpoint. “From day one, Orlando didn’t think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea and knew she would face backlash,” one insider revealed. “He always thought it was a stupid idea, and she wouldn’t get anything positive out of it.”
Despite Orlando and their daughter Daisy being there to witness the launch in Texas, he apparently felt sidelined in the decision-making process. After the flight, Katy faced a wave of ridicule for what many saw as tone-deaf theatrics, like holding up a daisy and her tour setlist aboard the spacecraft and then dramatically kissing the ground after landing. The public dragged her for it, and celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Munn added to the firestorm.
“That space mission this morning. That’s end-time s**t,” Emily wrote online, slamming the event as “beyond parody.” Olivia echoed the sentiment, calling the flight “gluttonous” on the Today show. She questioned the purpose of the mission and pointed out the irony of promoting environmental awareness while flying with a company criticized for its environmental impact. “What are they going to do up there that has made it better for us down here?” she asked.
Orlando’s frustration reportedly runs deeper than the backlash. The actor has been feeling like Katy doesn’t value his opinion anymore. “He has been frustrated that his opinion is not being taken seriously or even heard,” the source added. “He feels she is a different person lately.” Their relationship reportedly hit a rocky point amid other ongoing issues, including the negative reception to Katy’s latest album, 143, and poor ticket sales for her Lifetimes Tour. Critics have taken shots at everything from her dance routines to her costume choices, and insiders say the pressure has caused tension between the pair.
Recent reports also indicate that the couple is spending more time apart, fueling speculation that the wedding may not be happening anytime soon, if at all. Despite being together for years and sharing a daughter, the couple hasn’t addressed any of the rumors publicly, but the signs are all there.
Reps for Katy and Orlando have yet to comment, but fans are already connecting the dots. Between the space drama, career setbacks, and growing distance between them, it’s clear this celeb couple is going through something major. Whether they’ll bounce back or go their separate ways remains to be seen, but for now, the gravity of the situation, pun intended, is pulling them apart.
