Just days after confirming the end of their nine-year relationship, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were spotted back together—but not in the way fans might’ve hoped. The exes were seen vacationing off the Amalfi Coast aboard Koru, the sprawling superyacht owned by none other than Jeff Bezos. Yes, that Jeff Bezos. Add Lauren Sánchez, a few billionaires, and their 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove to the mix, and you’ve got the soft launch of the friendliest breakup of the year.
As first reported by Page Six, Perry wore a black bikini and a breezy button-down set, while Bloom kept things relaxed in swim trunks and a white tee. But the real headline wasn’t the outfits—it was the vibe. Not awkward. Not icy. Just… sweet. Calm. Kind. Orlando was even photographed lifting Daisy into the air and kissing her cheek on deck, while Katy walked hand-in-hand with their daughter along a marina in Capri, stopping for gelato like nothing had changed. And maybe, for Daisy, nothing has.

Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry Went from Fairy Tale to Family First
They may be done as lovers, but they’re still showing up as parents.
Perry and Bloom’s reps confirmed the split on July 3, stating that the two were “shifting their relationship” to focus on co-parenting. Translation? It’s over, but they’re committed to doing the post-fairytale part right. The yacht outing marks the first time Perry has been seen outside of her Lifetimes Tour performances since the news broke—and fans weren’t ready to see her and Bloom back together so soon, especially not on Bezos’ boat of all boats.

Of course, this isn’t their first luxe hang with the Bezos–Sánchez power couple. The foursome has vacationed together before, and Sánchez even commented on one of Katy’s recent posts with a “We miss you ❤️.” Translation again? This crew is tight.
Perry and Bloom first got together in 2016, broke up in 2017, reunited, got engaged in 2019, had a baby in 2020—and nearly got married in Japan, if not for the pandemic. But even as their romance ends, their yacht photos tell a different kind of love story. One where being exes doesn’t cancel the family.
So no, they’re not getting back together (for now), but they are rewriting the celebrity breakup script—one gelato at a time.
