Hollywood star Orlando Bloom (49) was photographed at the Met Gala afterparty 'Met Gala' with a woman whose looks closely resembled his ex-girlfriend, pop star Katy Perry, drawing attention. But there was a surprising twist hidden in this.
On the 5th (local time), according to foreign media including the Daily Mail, Orlando Bloom appeared at the luxurious Met Gala afterparty held at New York's hot place Zero Bond in the early morning that day.
At the time, Bloom was accompanied by 27-year-old influencer and model Meredith Duxbury. Duxbury wore a daring see-through lace dress that clearly revealed black underwear, showing off her slender figure. In particular, her appearance, similar to Bloom's former fiancée Katy Perry, surprised people at the scene. Bloom, 49, is 22 years older than her.
Photos showing the two entering the party venue in close contact ignited new dating rumors, but a reversal was soon reported. TMZ, citing sources, reported that Bloom did not know Duxbury at all and that the person he actually accompanied to the party was Swiss model Luisa Rameal. Bloom and Rameal had displayed affection while watching the 60th Super Bowl together in February.
Bloom officially split from pop star Katy Perry last June after an on-and-off relationship of about nine years. The two were once engaged in 2019 with a diamond ring worth about $5 million (about 730 million won) but eventually ended up apart.
Katy Perry is currently eight months into a relationship with former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau announced last year that he and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, were legally separated in 2023.
Meanwhile, Orlando Bloom is scheduled to attend the 79th Cannes Film Festival, which opens on the 12th. He will walk the world premiere red carpet as Garrett Mallory in Werner Herzog's new film Bucking Fastard.
