Orlando Bloom has sparked fresh headlines after being spotted leaving a Met Gala afterparty alongside a glamorous influencer who fans quickly pointed out bore a striking resemblance to his ex-fiancée Katy Perry.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 49, was photographed exiting Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter's afterparty with American beauty influencer Meredith Duxbury, 27, following the annual fashion event.

Duxbury, who rose to fame through her viral TikTok make-up tutorials, turned heads in a semi-sheer black lace bodysuit featuring a dramatic thigh-high split and visible lingerie detailing. She wore her dark hair in a sleek poker-straight style, prompting comparisons to Perry’s signature raven-haired look.
While the pair were seen leaving at the same time, sources told TMZ that Bloom had reportedly arrived at the event alongside Swiss model Luisa Laemmel, 28.

The sighting comes months after Bloom’s reported split from longtime partner Katy Perry, with whom he shares five-year-old daughter Daisy Dove.
The couple’s relationship has long been one of Hollywood’s most talked-about on-and-off romances. Bloom and Perry first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty, where their flirtation reportedly began over a dispute involving In-N-Out burgers.
They quickly became one of celebrity culture’s biggest couples, regularly appearing together on red carpets, holidaying around the world and sharing glimpses of their relationship on social media.
However, the pair briefly split in 2017, later releasing a joint statement confirming they were taking “respectful, loving space at this time.”

Despite the separation, they reunited less than a year later and appeared stronger than ever. In 2019, Bloom proposed to Perry on Valentine’s Day in a romantic helicopter proposal featuring a flower-shaped engagement ring reportedly worth millions.
The singer later described the proposal as both emotional and chaotic, revealing the helicopter emergency landing nearly derailed the moment entirely.
In 2020, the couple welcomed daughter Daisy Dove, with the announcement made through UNICEF, for whom both stars serve as goodwill ambassadors.
Over the years, Perry frequently spoke about the intense emotional work both she and Bloom put into their relationship. The singer previously admitted they often clashed because of their strong personalities but credited therapy and communication with helping them stay together.
Bloom, meanwhile, openly discussed the challenges of maintaining a relationship under constant public scrutiny. In multiple interviews, he described their dynamic as “fire, fire, fire” while also praising Perry’s ambition and work ethic.
Speculation about trouble in the relationship intensified last year after reports emerged that the pair had quietly drifted apart amid increasingly hectic schedules.
Bloom later fuelled further rumours when he admitted during an interview that he was “not ready” for marriage, despite their long engagement.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirmed they split in July 2025, after their nine-year, on-and-off relationship, choosing to focus on co-parenting their daughter, Daisy Dove. Their representatives confirmed they were "shifting their relationship" after months of stress.

Perry, one of the best-selling music artists in the world with hits including Firework, Roar, and I Kissed A Girl, has also been navigating a major career transition following the end of her long-running stint as a judge on American Idol.
Bloom, meanwhile, has continued balancing film projects with wellness ventures and environmental advocacy work, while remaining active in co-parenting Daisy.
The actor’s latest outing is already fuelling intense online speculation, particularly due to the uncanny resemblance fans believe Duxbury shares with Perry.
