Orlando Bloom has publicly addressed his breakup with Katy Perry for the first time, speaking warmly about his former fiancée and their shared commitment to co-parenting their daughter Daisy. The actor appeared on Today , where host Craig Melvin asked about the personal changes in his life. Bloom, now 48, responded with gratitude, making it clear that despite the separation, he and Perry remain on good terms.
“I’m great, man. I’m so grateful,” Bloom said, before adding, “We have the most beautiful daughter. And we’re great. We’re going to be great. Nothing but love.” The remark was his first direct acknowledgment of the split, which was confirmed in July after six years together and a lengthy engagement.
The pair welcomed Daisy in August 2020, and since then have often spoken about the joy of parenthood. Sources close to the singer previously said Perry intended to maintain a respectful relationship with Bloom, emphasising that Daisy’s wellbeing would always come first. Bloom echoed that sentiment in his latest comments, reassuring fans that the former couple is committed to raising their daughter in a positive and supportive environment.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star has shared cryptic posts on social media since the breakup, including quotes from Carl Jung reflecting on loneliness and balance. His latest interview, however, marks a more direct and optimistic outlook, suggesting he is focused on the future rather than dwelling on the past.
The split between Perry, 40, and Bloom sparked intense media attention, especially as the two had long been seen as one of Hollywood’s most glamorous couples. They attended major red-carpet events together, from the Toronto International Film Festival to the Vanity Fair Oscars party, and frequently spoke of their blended family, which includes Bloom’s son Flynn from his marriage to Miranda Kerr.
While their romantic relationship has ended, Bloom’s comments confirm there is no animosity. Instead, the actor highlighted gratitude, love, and shared purpose, with their daughter remaining at the heart of their connection.
