Venice, Italy / June 21, 2025: This weekend saw a celebrity clash when sources say Orlando Bloom blasted his fiancée Katy Perry’s April trip on a Blue Origin spacecraft, calling it out with harsh criticism. What kicked off as a brave stand for women has turned, according to Bloom, into something “embarrassing” and “cringeworthy,” leading to a fiery clash and whispers that the two could be growing distant.
Clash Over Space Dreams
Page Six says Bloom’s harsh comment happened “in the middle of a fight,” when he flat-out told Perry her trip “looked ridiculous,” and it really “hurt her feelings” deeply. The tension shows more than a simple argument; it’s really about deep differences in how they handle public attention and big dreams.
Tour Life vs. Galactic Escapes
Perry was looking forward to cheers, not people pointing fingers. A source said she felt her fiancé could have been more supportive of her mission. Her jaw dropped when Bloom reacted that way and added he’d be at Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’s upcoming Venice wedding without her, even though Sánchez had flown on the same plane.
The Wedding That Sets the Stage
Bezos and Sánchez’s grand wedding celebration will last for days, featuring drone light displays and special AI-inspired meals. This whole story could be straight out of Hollywood, and now there’s trouble in a big relationship. Perry, tied up on her global “Lifetimes” tour, won’t attend. But Bloom showing up alone really makes it feel like he’s trying to say something big. According to one insider talking to Page Six, his attendance “feels like a ‘f-k you’ to her”.
On the Rocks Since the Album Drop
This crack in their engagement didn’t just happen overnight. Reports from People and InStyle claim the couple has been “breaking down” for months. She’s been feeling so drained by how people reacted to the album that it’s led them to “spending time apart”.
Perry Speaks Out – Singing Through the Noise
People may have bashed her, but Perry handled it gracefully. Right after coming back from her space adventure, she shared with PEOPLE, “My therapist said something that really changed my life. What anybody thinks about you is none of your business”. She’s brushing off the critics by singing too, saying, “I sing Louis Armstrong’s ‘What a Wonderful World’ in space,” which she revealed earlier this year, hoping the flight shows unity, not pride.
What Comes Next?
They always say they’re putting in the work at couples therapy, with their daughter Daisy, who’s now four and a half, right there with them. But people close to her say waiting for her tour to finish in December might be when the real decision happens. Are their dreams of going to space going to break them up, or will a heart-to-heart on solid ground save them?

“My husband told me it looked ridiculous,” a source said. Bloom said the mission was embarrassing and also mentioned that Perry felt hurt.
“He complains about her going to space, and then wants to go to the wedding of the people who made it possible,” another insider told Page Six. “And he’s insistent that he goes, which annoys her”.
