Orlando Bloom in cosy chat with Kim Kardashian as he breaks cover after Katy Perry 'split'

Orlando Bloom has broken cover in new photos after reports he has split from Katy Perry.

The newly single actor, 48, was seen chatting with Kim Kardashian and sister Khlo Kardashian as they rub shoulders with expected guests at the nuptials of the Amazon billionaire businessman and bride Lauren Sánchez.

Jeff, 61, and Lauren, 55, have travelled to Italy where they are expected to swap vows in front of an A List crowd in the romantic city of Venice. Kardashians star Kim, 44, and her sister Khloe, 40, are among those due to attend - and they looked excited to see a reportedly newly single Orlando, 48, arriving for the wedding too.

Kim flashed a beaming smile as she stepped towards the Lord of the Rings icon while wearing dramatic sunglasses. She continued to grin as they stepped to the side together, seemingly to engage in an animated conversation.

Younger sister Khloe pouted beside the sex tape star as she appeared to be overlooked by the father-of-two. The wedding guests were matching in black as the countdown of Jeff and Lauren's wedding continues.

The wedding is set to take place over the weekend of June 27 - with a string of celebrations around and leading up to the big day as famous friends arrive in the Italian city to celebrate. But not everyone in the area is happy about the nuptials.

Furious locals have targeted the wedding to accuse Jeff of not paying enough taxes considering he is one of the richest men in the world. Demonstrations against the businessman have even led to a last minute change in wedding venue after it was previously cited to take place in Cannaregio - a popular and central nightlife area.

Reuters reports: "For weeks some local residents and pressure groups have been complaining that the event will turn the scenic city of gondolas and palazzi into a private amusement park for the rich, and threatened peaceful blockades.

"After the wedding ceremony, whose location and exact date remain secret, although it is expected to be between Thursday and Saturday, some 200-250 VIP guests from show business, politics and finance will now head to a hall of the Arsenale, a vast 14th-century complex in the eastern Castello district."

Amid the marriage excitement has come news of heartbreak - with reports suggesting Orlando and Katy have broken up after nine years together. The couple first embarked on a romance in 2016, became engaged in February 2019 and welcomed a daughter, Daisy, in August 2020.

Katy reportedly won't attend Jeff and Lauren's wedding even though she is a close friend of the couple and even jetted to space with Lauren earlier this year. She is currently on her Lifetimes World Tour with dates in Canada this weekend.

Earlier this month a source told Page Six that the couple's relationship was already "over" and they are waiting till her world tour ends in December to break up. A source told PEOPLE that the pop singer's latest album 143, which released in September, "caused some tension" in the pair's relationship with Katy being "stressed" and "deeply frustrated" after the album's reception.

While a source told Us Weekly, "Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.” The source described the alleged split as 'a long time coming' and claimed their relations 'have been tense for months.'
