As rumors swirl about a possible romance between pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the internet couldn’t resist including Katy’s ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, in the fun—this time from a comedic angle. Bloom and Perry, who share a 4-year-old daughter named Daisy, ended their engagement earlier this year. While Bloom was spotted with a mysterious brunette at Jeff Bezos’s extravagant wedding, Perry was busy posting pictures from Australia.
Adding to the buzz, satirical news site The Onion released an AI-generated image showing Bloom dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Their playful article joked that they enjoyed wine, oysters, and chocolate cake at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The piece humorously claimed the two were “cozy” and that Merkel likes Pirates of the Caribbean while Bloom is “super into the German economy,” calling them the perfect match. Bloom joined in on the laughter, responding on social media with three clapping hands emojis, signaling he was amused and didn’t take the satire personally.
Meanwhile, Perry’s and Trudeau’s rumored relationship is heating up. Though neither has confirmed anything, Trudeau has been seen attending Perry’s concerts, sparking speculation. According to a source speaking to People, the pair are “interested in each other,” but it’s still early days as Perry travels extensively and Trudeau adapts to life post-politics following his 2023 divorce.
Their shared passion for music, similar views, and commitment to making a positive impact have led some fans to see them as a potentially great couple. Their situation might also make dating easier, as both have co-parenting arrangements with their exes, giving them flexibility in their personal lives. However, a source close to Trudeau said he prefers to keep his private life quiet and wouldn’t reveal anything public too soon; any relationship would likely advance slowly given their commitments.
Social media users have had a lot of fun with the rumors. Some cheer on the couple, while others poke fun. Comments vary from applauding Perry’s possible new love to suggesting it’s a “downgrade” from Bloom. One user quipped, “Her three-day boyfriend already likes her music more than her ten-year ex-husband,” while another said, “Run fast, Katy!”
What stands out is Bloom’s playful response to the satirical story, earning him praise for handling the situation with humor rather than bitterness. While Perry seems to be moving forward with a new high-profile connection, the drama around celebrity relationships continues to provide endless entertainment online. Whether or not Perry and Trudeau become a couple, the world is watching, speculating, and laughing—and Bloom appears to be having a good time watching the show unfold.
