The Venice Rendezvous: Flirting Amidst Split Rumors
The most recent and potent interaction between Bloom and Kardashian took place in late 2024 (or early 2025, depending on the exact date of the wedding) at the ultra-exclusive wedding celebration of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy. This encounter immediately set the internet ablaze, not least because of the timing.
The actor, who has been engaged to pop superstar Katy Perry since 2019, was reportedly spotted having a "cosy chat" with Kim Kardashian at the Gritti Palace Hotel, one of the venues for the lavish affair. The meeting came hot on the heels of unconfirmed but widespread reports suggesting that Bloom and Perry had ended their nine-year relationship.
Body language experts who analyzed the photos of their greeting suggested the conversation was "almost flirty," noting the close proximity and engaging nature of the interaction. Kim Kardashian, who was also a guest at the high-profile event, was reportedly seen chatting with Bloom and her sister, Khloé Kardashian. The public nature of the interaction, coupled with Bloom's rumored newly single status, instantly fueled speculation that a new A-list romance could be blossoming in the romantic city of Venice.
The Infamous 'Checking Out' Photo and Katy Perry's Reaction
Long before their Venice chat, Orlando Bloom and Kim Kardashian were the subjects of a massive viral moment that cemented their place in celebrity gossip history. In 2018, both attended the star-studded Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Dinner in New York City.
A photograph from the event went instantly viral, capturing a moment where Orlando Bloom appeared to be caught "checking out" Kim Kardashian’s famous derriere as she walked past him. The image, which showed Bloom's gaze directed towards Kardashian's figure, quickly became a meme, with fans and media outlets dissecting the actor's apparent distraction.
What made the moment even more sensational was that Bloom’s then-girlfriend (now fiancée), Katy Perry, was reportedly right beside him. However, Perry, known for her sense of humor, took the incident in stride. Instead of being upset, the pop star publicly reacted to the image with a humorous comment, essentially giving her playful "approval" of the moment. This lighthearted response diffused any potential drama, turning a potentially awkward moment into a memorable, funny celebrity anecdote.
The Pete Davidson Connection: A Shared Circle
While the flirting rumors are captivating, it's important to note that Kim Kardashian and Orlando Bloom share a professional connection that places them in the same social circles. Bloom is a co-star of comedian Pete Davidson in the upcoming film Wizards! For those following The Kardashians, Davidson is famously Kim Kardashian's ex-boyfriend, with whom she had a high-profile relationship that ended in 2022.
This shared professional acquaintance means that Bloom and Kardashian are likely to cross paths frequently at industry events and social gatherings, regardless of any romantic speculation. Their initial, friendly interaction at the Kering dinner, and the more recent one in Venice, could simply be a case of two highly-connected individuals greeting each other within their tight-knit Hollywood-A-list community. This context provides a more grounded explanation for their "cosy" chats, even if a body language expert views the interaction as "flirty."
What the Future Holds for the Hollywood Pair
As of late 2025, the status of Orlando Bloom's relationship with Katy Perry remains the central factor driving the Kim Kardashian rumors. Reports of their split, while not officially confirmed by either party, have created a vacuum that the media is eager to fill with speculation about a new romance.
The truth is that both Orlando Bloom and Kim Kardashian are highly sought-after, successful, and currently navigating the complex landscape of high-profile relationships. Whether their interactions are purely platonic, a sign of a blossoming friendship, or the precursor to a new celebrity super-couple remains to be seen. What is certain is that every time the two are spotted together—whether it's a quick air kiss, a prolonged chat at a European wedding, or a viral photo—the world will be watching, eager to uncover the true nature of their compelling connection.
