Orlando Bloom is addressing his split from Katy Perry for the first time.

While promoting his new movie, “The Cut,” the actor remained positive when “Today” show host Craig Melvin asked him about the breakup on Friday.

“There’s been some personal changes in your life since you were here the last time,” Melvin noted before inquiring, “How are you doing?”

An upbeat Bloom, 48, replied, “I’m great, man. I’m so grateful. We have the most beautiful daughter. You know when you leave everything on the field like I did in this movie? I feel grateful for all of it.”

Orlando Bloom has finally spoken publicly about his split from Katy Perry, and his words have struck a surprisingly tender chord. After months of speculation and silence, the actor broke his quiet during a recent interview, choosing not to lean into bitterness or regret but instead to frame the end of their long relationship in terms of gratitude, respect, and love. For a couple that captivated the world with their romance and their larger-than-life careers, his statement offered both closure and inspiration to those who have followed their journey.

When asked directly about how he has been handling life after their separation, Bloom didn’t flinch. “I’m great, man. I’m so grateful,” he said, with a smile that conveyed not defiance, but peace. He made clear that he harbors no resentment, emphasizing that the relationship had brought him profound joy and had given him the greatest gift of all: their daughter, Daisy. His voice softened when he mentioned her, underscoring that fatherhood has been one of the defining joys of his life and one of the lasting bonds that will forever tie him to Perry.

The breakup between Bloom and Perry, confirmed in July 2025, stunned fans who had grown accustomed to seeing them as one of Hollywood’s more stable couples. They had been together, on and off, since 2016, got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019, and welcomed Daisy Dove in 2020. Through all the highs and lows, they remained a fixture of glamorous events, red carpets, and social media affection. But in the end, they announced they had chosen to part ways while committing themselves to co-parenting and maintaining mutual respect.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star — who shares 5-year-old Daisy with Perry — made sure to stress, “We’re great. We’re going to be great. Nothing but love.”

Bloom’s ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, recently echoed those sentiments.

According to the model, who was married to Bloom from 2010 to 2013, he and Perry parted ways amicably.

Kerr appeared on Thursday’s episode of “The Kyle and Jackie O Show,” during which co-hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson noted that “mature” Bloom seems to break up with partners “with respect and dignity,” making sure to leave on “great terms.”

Kerr, 42, agreed, responding, “Yeah, I mean, honestly, especially when you have children, it shouldn’t be any other way. Like, the needs of the child always has to come first, and it needs to be harmonious.”

She added, “And you know what? They’re gonna be in your life for the rest of your life because you have a child together, so you just [need to] be peaceful.”

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel shares son Flynn, 14, with Bloom.

“If you do have that animosity, that only hurts yourself. So actually, if you have forgiveness then you can then feel better from creating peace in your own life,” Kerr emphasized.

She also said that she “love[s] them both” and was with them this past weekend to celebrate Daisy’s birthday, which was on Aug. 26.

“Katy and I were talking to Orlando, and they were like, ‘Let’s get a photo!’” Kerr shared. “And it was kinda funny. Katy sent me the photo of Orlando and then his two exes on the side. But we all had such a big smile on our faces, you know? We’re one big, happy family — always.”

Kerr described the pop star, 40, as “amazing” and reiterated, “I love her. And him, obviously.”

“It’s not contentious at the moment,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, claiming that the singer was “upset” but “relieved.”

According to the source, the former couple’s relationship had “been tense for months,” making the split “a long time coming.”

About a week later, the pair released a joint statement confirming that they are no longer romantically involved.

“Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” reps for the duo told Page Six at the time.

“They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”

The “Lord of the Rings” star met the musician in January 2016 at a Golden Globe Awards afterparty. They got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019 but never married.

That mutual respect was on full display in Bloom’s remarks. Far from throwing barbs or airing grievances, he leaned into a message of compassion. “We’re great. We’re going to be great. Nothing but love,” he said, making it clear that he doesn’t see the split as a failure but as the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. It was an answer that disarmed many of the tabloids hoping for drama. Instead of chaos, Bloom offered clarity.

For Perry and Bloom, the years together were filled with memorable moments. They weathered the challenges of balancing two hectic careers, with Perry dominating the music world while Bloom continued to thrive in film. They shared milestones, such as the birth of their daughter, as well as challenges, including Perry’s candid admissions of her mental health struggles and Bloom’s need to travel extensively for projects. Through it all, they presented a united front. Their decision to part ways was not framed as a collapse but as a natural evolution of their lives, a choice to prioritize personal growth while remaining deeply committed to their daughter.

Bloom’s gratitude-heavy approach also reflects his broader philosophy on life. Known for being introspective and spiritually minded, he has long emphasized the importance of perspective, resilience, and finding meaning in every experience. By calling himself “grateful” rather than devastated, he reframed the breakup as a gift rather than a loss. This perspective isn’t just about public image; it resonates with fans who appreciate seeing a celebrity handle heartbreak with humility and wisdom.

His words come at a time when many celebrity breakups are characterized by drama and public feuds. The way Bloom has handled his split with Perry sets a different example. It highlights how relationships, even when they end, don’t have to dissolve into acrimony. Instead, they can evolve into something new, rooted in shared history and the mutual desire to raise a child in a healthy, loving environment. Bloom’s insistence on focusing on gratitude and love offers a refreshing narrative in a culture often obsessed with scandal.

The fact that Perry herself has shown public support for Bloom since the split only underscores the respect they continue to share. Just weeks ago, Perry promoted Bloom’s new film The Cut on Instagram, proudly writing “proud of you” alongside a repost of the trailer. Bloom responded with a heart emoji, a subtle but telling signal that their bond remains intact even in the aftermath of separation. Such gestures demonstrate that while their romantic partnership has ended, their care for one another endures.

Observers also point to Bloom’s co-parenting with Perry as evidence of their ongoing connection. Both have emphasized their commitment to raising Daisy in a loving and stable environment. Their family has also expanded beyond just the two of them. Bloom’s ex-wife Miranda Kerr has praised the way Perry has embraced their blended family, often speaking warmly of the singer and the harmony between all parties. That kind of collaboration requires maturity, patience, and a willingness to put egos aside—qualities that both Bloom and Perry seem to embody.

The impact of Bloom’s comments extends beyond his own relationship. His remarks speak to a broader shift in how society views breakups and separations. More and more, people are redefining what it means to end a relationship. It doesn’t have to mean hostility or failure; it can mean transformation, growth, and the pursuit of happiness on new terms. For Bloom, gratitude seems to be the foundation of this transformation, allowing him to acknowledge the past with love while embracing the future with optimism.

Fans have reacted positively to his openness, praising the actor for choosing kindness over conflict. Many took to social media to highlight his maturity, noting that his words not only honored Perry but also set an example for men in the public eye. In a world where toxic masculinity and public feuds often dominate celebrity culture, Bloom’s gentle approach was seen as a breath of fresh air. It offered a model of vulnerability and strength coexisting—qualities that are too often portrayed as incompatible.

The choice of the word “grateful” was particularly powerful. Gratitude reframes endings not as losses but as opportunities. It suggests that instead of dwelling on what didn’t work, one can focus on what was gained, what was shared, and what remains. For Bloom, gratitude encompasses the years he and Perry shared, the lessons learned, the love experienced, and above all, their daughter. It’s a reminder that even when relationships end, the love that was once there doesn’t disappear—it simply transforms.

As Bloom continues to promote The Cut and Perry navigates her own career moves, both are entering new phases of their lives. For fans, the split marks the end of an era, but for the couple themselves, it appears to be the start of something different—something grounded in respect, maturity, and an unwavering commitment to family. In many ways, the way they are handling their breakup might become as defining as their relationship itself.

Orlando Bloom’s decision to speak with such gratitude may not erase the sadness of a breakup, but it provides a hopeful example of how endings can still be beautiful. By emphasizing love over loss, he reminded the world that relationships, even when they change, can still be celebrated. For him, the story with Katy Perry isn’t one of heartbreak—it’s one of evolution, of gratitude, and of carrying forward the best of what they built together.
