Orlando Bloom has been photographed leaving a Met Gala afterparty alongside an influencer and model who bears a remarkable resemblance to his former fiancée, Katy Perry. The 49-year-old actor, known for his roles in Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, was seen arriving at the exclusive event with model and influencer Meredith Duxbury before departing hours later with another model who closely resembles his ex-partner.
Arrival and Departure
Bloom opted for a low-key look, dressed entirely in black with a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes. Upon arrival at the star-studded afterparty, he was accompanied by 27-year-old Meredith Duxbury, who wore a striking sheer black dress embellished with sparkling appliqué and matching sandals. The pair were photographed together outside the venue and entering simultaneously.
However, a source informed TMZ that although Bloom was seen with Duxbury, he was actually attending the event with Swiss model Luisa Laemmel, 28, whom he left with. Bloom had previously been photographed with Laemmel at Super Bowl LX on February 8, fueling rumors of a budding romance.
Blossoming Relationship
In March, The Sun reported that Bloom and Laemmel were dating, with an insider commenting: "Orlando and Luisa have been quietly seeing each other for several months. They have become a proper little family unit, and Orlando even flew his teacup poodle Biggie Smalls over for the trip. He is based in Los Angeles while she is in New York, so they do not see each other all the time, but there is a real spark."
Bloom confirmed his split from singer Katy Perry last year after being engaged since 2019. The former couple shares a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, born in 2020. Bloom also has a 15-year-old son, Flynn, from his marriage to Australian model Miranda Kerr, which lasted from 2010 to 2013.
Katy Perry's New Chapter
Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016, briefly separated from March 2017 to January 2018, and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019 with a $5 million pink daisy-shaped ring. Perry is now famously dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The couple has been publicly affectionate, with Perry sharing several photos of Trudeau on Instagram.
Trudeau, 54, remains legally married to Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, from whom he separated in August 2023. The couple co-parents their three children: sons Xavier, 18, and Hadrien, 12, and daughter Ella-Grace, 17.
Perry attended the Met Gala this year and faced criticism for her outfit, which was deemed lackluster compared to her previous extravagant looks. She wore a futuristic face mask and a white gown, later changing into a pink mini dress with a puffball hem for an afterparty.
