The world of pop has been shaken by the news that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have ended their relationship after nine years together. Perry herself has hinted at trouble in her music, but what role does Rosé, the K-pop sensation, play in this? According to a growing theory on social media, celebrities who take photos with Rosé seem to end their relationships soon after. Could this be more than just coincidence?
The Mysterious Curse That Ended Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s Relationship Explained
The so-called “Rosé Curse” gained traction on social media after fans noticed a strange pattern: celebrities who pose with the BlackPink idol often see their relationships unravel shortly after. Katy Perry’s breakup with Orlando Bloom seems to be the latest example of this odd trend, which began when the two stars posed for photos together in January 2025 during the “Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes” in France. Just five months later, rumors about their troubled relationship grew, leading to the announcement of their separation. But Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom aren’t the first victims of this eerie phenomenon.

More Celebs Affected by the Curse
The first major couple to fall victim to the curse besides Katy Perry and Orlando, were Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik. After Rosé posed with Gigi at the 2021 Met Gala, the model and the singer called it quits that same year. While initial comments about the photos were made in jest, things took a darker turn when other high-profile couples also faced breakups after Rosé interactions.
In 2022, Florence Pugh and Zach Braff ended their three-year relationship just months after Pugh posed with Rosé at a Tiffany event. TikTok star Bella Poarch also experienced the curse after being photographed with Rosé and Jennie of BlackPink in 2021. The following year, Poarch announced her divorce from Tyler Poarch after three years of marriage.

The curse continued to claim more victims, including Kendall Jenner, who split from NBA player Devin Booker in 2022 after a photo with Rosé at the LACMA Art and Film Gala. Even Taylor Swift couldn’t escape the curse, as she broke up with Joe Alwyn in 2023 following a photo op with the BlackPink idol at the 2022 VMAs.
It’s not just women who’ve fallen victim to Rosé’s curse. Actor Rami Malek, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury, ended his relationship with Lucy Boynton in early 2023, after taking a photo with Rosé in 2020. Could this trend be purely coincidental, or is there something more to it?
