Rumors Say Orlando Bloom Cheated on Katy Perry With Selena Gomez — But Did He?

What do actor Orlando Bloom and singers Katy Perry and Selena Gomez have to do with one another? Well, Orlando and Katy dated for almost a decade, and even got engaged in 2019. Their relationship first went public in May 2016, and they stayed together all the way up until June 2025, when TMZ reported that a source said he’d be attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice single. Meaning, you guessed it, he and Katy have broken up.

While they did briefly break up in 2017, they quickly got back together like nothing happened. So where does Selena fit into all this, especially now that she’s engaged to Benny Blanco? Well, rumor has it Orlando cheated on Katy early in their relationship with Selena, around the same time they briefly split.

Now you’re probably wondering: Did something actually happen between Selena and Orlando? And if so, what? We’ve got some deets.

Allegedly, Orlando Bloom and Selena Gomez were seen sharing an intimate moment in a private booth back in May 2016, the same month he and Katy Perry took their relationship Instagram official.

Selena had been hosting her afterparty following her Vegas concert at Light in Mandalay Bay, and according to TMZ, she was spotted “neck-nuzzling” Orlando in a booth. The photos are grainy, but if it is them, they were definitely having a moment. In one pic, they appear to have their arms wrapped around each other, and in another, she’s possibly kissing him on the neck, which could be the “neck-nuzzling” TMZ was referring to.

At the time, Selena was 23 and Orlando was 39, and what makes this even more eyebrow-raising is the fact that he was reportedly still dating Katy. In fact, he and Katy had just been seen together at the 2016 Met Gala afterparty earlier that same month.

What’s more, this wasn’t the first time Orlando and Selena were spotted together, they were also photographed in April 2014, both looking a little surprised to see the cameras.

Still, TMZ noted that Selena went back to her room alone that night in 2016. And when the photos made the rounds, Katy seemingly addressed the drama on X (formerly Twitter), calling it a “dumb conspiracy” and instead redirecting people to an article about Orlando’s charity work.

Well, it’s not entirely clear as neither Orlando nor Selena ever addressed the photos, and Katy seemed to brush it off at the time. But it definitely looked like them. And considering they have a bit of history, it very well could’ve been.

If it was them, there’s no real justifying Orlando getting that close with another woman while he was clearly involved with Katy. Maybe, since their relationship was so new, they hadn’t defined things yet. Or, he was stepping out of the relationship, having jumped at the chance to cozy up with Selena.

Either way, with him being labeled a party guy (a source told TMZ ahead of Bezos’s 2025 wedding, “He’s the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard!”), there’s definitely reason to believe it could’ve been him.
