“Orlando adores Jen”: Orlando Bloom’s Feelings For Jennifer Aniston After Breaking up With Katy Perry, Insider Reveals

Orlando Bloom and Jennifer Aniston might hit it off, according to reports, after his recent split from fiancée Katy Perry.

Amidst the news of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom‘s breakup, reports emerge that FRIENDS star Jennifer Aniston is crushing on her long-time friend, Bloom. Perry and Bloom called it quits on their relationship earlier this month, and Bloom was seen without Perry at Jeff Bezos’s wedding and Wimbledon.

It was reported that Bloom and Aniston had a thing for each other years ago.

They reportedly shut down rumors of a relationship in 2007. An insider told RadarOnline that Aniston and Bloom got very close on more than one occasion.

It was reported that Aniston told her close friends about how Bloom was her ideal type. However, the insider shared that Aniston did not intend to make any move while Bloom’s relationship with Perry remains in limbo. The insider told the outlet:

It’s open knowledge within her friend group that they got very, very close on more than one occasion, and she’s always raved about him being her ideal type. She’d never make a move on him while things are still in limbo with Katy, but if he does become available, of course, she’d jump at the chance.

The insider also shared how the Pirates of the Caribbean actor felt about The Morning Show actress. They shared that Bloom has a high opinion of Jennifer Aniston and that he couldn’t understand how she remains single. They also shared that Bloom’s feelings about Aniston infuriated the Fireworks singer. The insider shared:

Orlando adores Jen. He thinks she’s a class act and doesn’t understand how she could be so unlucky in love. It’s got to be aggravating for Katy, the way he’s always drooling about her.

Even if Bloom is single, he will have to wait, as Aniston seems to be gushing over another man. She is rumored to be dating hypnotist Jim Curtis. They were spotted out together several times recently.

Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry reportedly ended their eight-year-long relationship. They first met in January 2016 when they fell for each other. They briefly broke up in 2017, which, according to Perry, saved their relationship when they reconciled in 2018. They got engaged in 2019 and planned to marry in 2020, but postponed it due to the pandemic.

Their daughter Daisy Dove was born in August 2020. Soon after the news of their break-up emerged, Bloom was seen alone at the Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez wedding.

Perry, who took the space trip with Sanchez, was invited to the wedding, but she didn’t attend due to her 143 tour.

A source told the Daily Mail that Bloom brought up the controversial space trip during an explosive fight between them.

Perry received brutal criticism for her antics during her 11-minute space trip in April. She was seen holding a daisy in zero gravity, weirdly kissing the ground upon landing, and posing for more photos that were deemed embarrassing. According to the source, Bloom told her that the “whole thing looked ridiculous.”

They shared, “He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing.

This was in the middle of a fight, and it hurt her feelings. Of course she was hurt.”

It was also reported that Katy Perry’s career, which is in a struggling period, could’ve contributed to things getting ugly between the couple.

She recently left American Idol to focus on her music.

After the PR disaster of the space trip, her album 143 opened to poor reviews.

The album, released in September 2024, received a negative response from fans and critics.

According to the source, the album caused “tension” in their relationship. In addition, her Lifetime’s world tour was also a disaster, which led to widespread online trolling.
