- While Orlando Bloom didn’t attend the 2026 Met Gala, he did hit up an after-party at Zero Bond in NYC.
- He and model Meredith Duxbury were spotted leaving the event at the same time, sparking speculation that they might be dating.
- Sources have since weighed in, revealing what’s really going on.
Orlando Bloom may have skipped out on fashion’s biggest night at the Met Gala on Monday, May 4, but that didn’t stop him from enjoying the after-parties. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor attended Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna’s soirée at Zero Bond in NYC, and fans speculated that he may be moving on from his ex, Katy Perry, when he was spotted arriving to the party.
According to pics published by DeuxMoi, Orly was photographed entering the venue at the same time as model and content creator Meredith Duxbury. Of course, fans started speculating that they may be an item in the comments section, writing, “Orlando and Meredith were not on my bingo card…not even close lol” and “wait. the woman who slathers herself in foundation bagged orlando bloom???”
So, not quite! Sources have since weighed in on the whole situation, revealing what’s really going on between the pair—or, if anything is going on, period.
Per TMZ’s source, Orlando and Meredith aren’t an item because he “doesn’t even know her.” The insider claims Orly was actually with Luisa Laemmel, the Swiss supermodel, whom he hung out with at the Super Bowl back in February.
As for Meredith? They say that Orlando was “likely just walking in around the same time.”
But, before all these dating rumors made their rounds online, Orlando was linked to Katy Perry for nine years before they called off their engagement last summer.
At the time, their reps released a joint statement to People, saying, “Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.”
Since Katy hard-launched her budding romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, she and Orlando have seemingly maintained a cordial co-parenting relationship when raising their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.
Nothing to see here!
