Orlando Bloom and Rachel Lynn Matthews thought they were just having some SoCal-style Halloween fun, but it turns out some online folks weren't laughing. Rachel decided to channel her inner pop star by dressing up as Orlando’s ex-fiancée, Katy Perry, complete with a shiny blue jumpsuit and dark wig, reminiscent of Katy’s space-age look from her Blue Origin trip. Orlando sported a spooky skeleton get-up, complete with intricate face paint, for the holiday festivities.
The duo snapped a selfie, which Rachel posted online, showing her mimicking Katy by kissing the ground post-space flight. She cheekily captioned the pic, “TAKE UP SPACE!!” But the internet had mixed feelings about this cheeky nod, with some branding Orlando as "weird" for joining in the joke.
“We’re great. We’re going to be great. Nothing but love.” – Orlando Bloom on his current relationship with Katy Perry.
Orlando and Katy first crossed paths in the glitzy ambiance of a Golden Globes afterparty back in 2016, and it wasn’t long before they went public, sharing their romance on Instagram by May. Despite a few relationship hiccups – including a brief breakup in 2017 – the pair reunited, sparking up their love again in 2018 with a public appearance at the Gala for the Global Ocean.
By Valentine’s Day 2019, Orlando had popped the big question with a spectacular helicopter proposal on an LA rooftop. While a wedding never happened, the couple welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020. Fast forward a few years, and the couple went their separate ways this past June.
Despite the split, Orlando has been open about the amicable nature of his and Katy’s relationship post-breakup, emphasizing the good vibes between them. Yet, this Halloween stunt provoked different reactions from fans and followers, leaving many to question whether the costume choice was in poor taste or just a bit of Hollywood-style humor.
