Orlando Bloom got real about “loneliness” and “sadness” after he split from his fiancée, Katy Perry.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor took to Instagram Stories on Wednesday to repost a carousel of quotes from Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung.
“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate that seem important to oneself,” one quote read, which was originally shared via the Instagram account @SAPIENKIND.
A second stated, “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
Bloom’s cryptic posts came a week after news surfaced that he and Perry had called it quits after nearly 10 years together.
A source close to the exes told Us Weekly that they “have split but are amicable.”
“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,” the insider added.
The source claimed the actor and the pop star’s relationship had “been tense for months” and the breakup has been “a long time coming.”
The Daily Mail reported that the couple had an explosive argument about her “ridiculous” Blue Origin space flight, which Bloom was reportedly not supportive of.
The day after their breakup made news, Bloom, 48, jetted off to Venice, Italy, to kick off the $50 million wedding festivities of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.
According to photos, the “Troy” star greeted Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Kris Jenner with a quick hug and a kiss on June 26.
Later that day, Bloom linked up with fellow divorcé Tom Brady on a water taxi in the City of Canals.
The newly single dad of two ended his first day in Venice by partying with friends at the Amazon founder and the former journalist’s pre-wedding party.
Perry, 40, was not present for the star-studded nuptials, as she was on the Australian leg of her Lifetimes Tour.
The “Dark Horse” singer and Bloom began dating in 2016 but broke up around March 2017. However, they rekindled their romance in early 2018 with a trip to the Maldives.
Perry and the “Deep Cover” actor got engaged in February 2019 and share daughter named Daisy Dove, whom they welcomed in August 2020.
