Is Katy Perry missing Lauren Sanchez's wedding? Here's everything we know
ALBAWABA - Katy Perry 's absence from Bezos-Sanchez wedding sparks breakup rumors online. As Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos prepare to exchange vows in a three-day celebration in Venice, Italy, later this month, everyone's attention is focused on the guest list and one A-list couple in particular. Actor Orlando Bloom is apparently going to the wedding alone, according to TMZ, which has led to fresh rumors over his relationship with Katy Perry. The engaged couple, who have been together since 2016, have reportedly been through a difficult time lately. Orlando's decision to go to Lauren Sanchez's wedding without Katy Perry is now drawing further criticism.

Together with their boyfriends, the two women have taken multiple summer vacations in Europe, enjoying sunny days in Italy and Croatia. They appeared to have a smooth relationship, both leading fulfilling lives and finding common ground beyond the spotlight. But that relationship isn't limited to social networks. Perry was one of several invited to participate in a planned all-female mission, while Sanchez, as vice chair of Blue Origin, has garnered media attention for supporting female-led space efforts. Perry's absence from Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice, therefore, raises eyebrows and provokes questions about the current situation as well as the logistics of the tour in light of that past. Lauren Sanchez Instagram profile Despite their friendship, insiders claim that Katy Perry has previous tour commitments that will prevent her from attending Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding. Perry's current tour of Australia includes dates that directly coincide with the June 24–26 wedding, with shows in Adelaide on June 26 and Perth on June 22 and 23. It's intriguing to note that the latter performances were added to her tour after the original announcement but months before the wedding details were made public, indicating that there was no deliberate omission.

Insiders reveal that the unsatisfactory reception to her most recent album, 143, released in September, left Perry feeling overwhelmed and irritated. After the reaction to her new album, Katy was really irritated. She was really stressed out by it," a source told PEOPLE. "There was some tension, but Orlando was understanding." "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews," said another insider. Their relationship is under stress as a result. Although there are still rumors circulating, a source informed the Daily Mail that a breakup is not likely to happen very soon: Though it's not too late, the rumors of a difficult period are accurate. They both want to solve the problem and are aware that they need to fix it. ELMONT, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 11: (L-R) Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom (Galai/Getty Images for MTV/AFP) The 48-year-old actor, who will not be accompanied by Katy Perry, is anticipated to attend the wedding of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos alone and socialize with a glittering array of monarchs, business titans, and celebrities. Fans hope Katy's absence is merely a scheduling conflict and not an indication of more serious issues, but given Sanchez and Perry's shared past, it's likely to be felt.

EXCLUSIVE Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's explosive row over 'cringeworthy' space flight... as Lauren Sanchez's wedding escalates tensions
Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry 's relationship imploded after the singer made her embarrassing journey into space — and now the embattled couple is sparring over who will attend the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. The pair were already on the rocks when Perry made the widely-derided 11-minute trip to space in April. The Blue Origin flight, led by Sánchez, quickly became a PR disaster. Perry, in particular, became the internet's punching bag for her eccentric actions, hogging the camera while holding up a daisy - a nod to her daughter - in zero gravity, before bizarrely dropping to her knees and kissing the ground on touchdown. But she received little to no support from Bloom who blasted the 'embarrassing' debacle during an explosive row. 'He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,' a source in Perry's camp told the Daily Mail. 'He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing. This was in the middle of a fight, and it hurt her feelings.' 'Of course she was hurt,' the source continued. 'Imagine going to space — motherf****** space — and your partner isn't impressed. She hoped he'd be more supportive.' Far from resolving their issues, tensions heightened as talk turned to who was going to attend Bezos and Sánchez's upcoming nuptials. The three-day celebration will reportedly kick off on June 24 in Venice, Italy. Bloom, 48, is on the guest list, but Perry, 40, will not be present at the celebrations, according to TMZ. 'She does have prior commitments, but it goes deeper than that,' our insider said, noting that the singer will still be on tour in Australia, which she first announced months before the wedding date and location were unveiled. 'Katy feels like they're really her friends more than his, and yet he's the one going to the wedding' they continued. 'And he's insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he's not particular close to either of them. She feels like it's a 'f*** you' to her from him.' What really stings is his apparent hypocrisy. 'He complains about her going to space, and then wants to go to the wedding of the people who made it possible for her to do this in the first place,' our insider said. 'That's difficult for her to accept. They're already spiraling and now the wedding is another thing that they have to fight about.' Their rocky patch comes at a time of professional turmoil for Perry, who has become the subject of hundreds of insulting internet memes. Earlier this month People claimed Katy's poorly-performing album 143 has caused 'tension' in her relationship with her fiancé. The singer's seventh studio album, 143, was released in September 2024, and received a largely negative response from fans as well as critics, who claimed the record sounds 'generated through AI.' While the album was meant to be empowering to women, critics slammed it as being reductive. Additionally, Perry shared snaps of a topless Bloom and talked freely about the couple's sex life, despite previous agreements to keep their personal life private, with sources at the time telling the Daily Mail that she was leveraging their romance amid the backlash. Her Lifetimes world tour has struggled to shift tickets in some countries, and clips of her futuristic stage show have been posted on Tiktok and Instagram hundreds of times, sparking millions of critical comments and jokes about the singer. A second source close to the couple told the Daily Mail that Bloom is annoyed that Perry is not listening to his advice. 'Katy has not been the same person for over a year now and Orlando has had enough,' they said. 'He advised her against this album. She did it. He advised her against space. She did it. He advised her against this tour and she did it.' 'From where Orlando stands, all he ever wanted was for Katy to be herself,' the source continued. 'He fell in love with her and who she is inside but this past year, he believes, has brought out the worst in her.' Perry and Bloom first met in January 2016. They had a brief breakup in 2017, but later reconciled by March 2018. The pair got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019 and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020. They were reportedly set to marry in Japan in summer 2020 but were forced to postpone due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is unclear if the couple will survive this rough patch, but Bloom feels that Perry needs to center herself on the things that are important. 'He wants her to be happy and he wants her to be authentic,' the insider continued. 'He just wants her to stop and enjoy the life that she has built.'

Katy Perry told music star she was 'GLAD' they left American Idol... amid fears for Orlando Bloom relationship
Katy Perry 's tenure on American Idol was under the spotlight after a former contestant–turned–music superstar opened up about their interactions. According to the rising star, Katy told them she was 'glad' that they left the long-running music competition series when they ran into each other years later. Katy, 40, first joined the series as a celebrity judge for season 16 in 2018, and stepped down six years later in 2024 after season 22. It was in early 2021 that her path crossed with the future singing sensation when they competed in season 21. During an appearance Wednesday on Scott Mills' BBC Radio 2's Breakfast Show, the Grammy Award nominee Benson Boone opened up about catching up with Katy years after he decided to leave American Idol. He admitted to bumping into the singer — who has been beset by rumors that her relationship with fiancé Orlando Bloom is in trouble — a 'couple months ago' and learned that she seemed to be happy that he had quite the show. According to the rising star, Katy, 40, told them she was 'glad' that they left the long-running music competition series when they ran into each other years later; seen in 2023 in LA Boone was asked if he thought Katy believes that she had 'discovered' him on American Idol. During his stint on the series, she said on camera that he had what it took to win the competition, adding that viewers were 'gonna swoon for Benson Boone.' 'Do you want to know the actual truth?' Benson replied. 'I actually think she is really glad that I left the show.' After the two had a chance to catch up a recent awards ceremony, the TikTok sensation came away thinking that Katy was 'really happy' for him. However, he also thought she was 'really worried' for his future. 'I think she understands that when you're starting to go through all of this, like, there's just a lot of hate coming your way, a lot of people that want things from you, so she was more just checking in on me,' he explained. Though Katy was widely mocked for her recent Blue Origin space flight, Benson declared that she 'actually really is a lovely person.' 'She told me, she was like, "Leaving that show was, like, the best thing you ever did." I think she just understands, like, I didn't even know if I wanted to do music at that time.' Despite his misgivings as American Idol was poised to make him a star, Boone later found his way back to music on his own terms. He had already established himself as a popular TikTok performer and singer before auditioning for the series, but the baby-faced performer — who didn't yet have his instantly recognizable mustache — blew away Katy and fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan at his audition, where he also showed that he could play passable piano. After Benson admitted that he wasn't a singer growing up, Lionel declared him a 'natural talent,' and Luke urged him to 'have fun' with his voice now that he had discovered it. Katy dramatically added, 'I'm gonna tell you something that you may not believe, but if you believe it it might happen. I see American Idol, and I see you, and I see you winning American Idol... if you want to.' An awe-struck Benson said that was the 'biggest compliment' he had ever received. He was invited to continue on to Hollywood Week, a round of multiple performances that helps weed out the large group of singers who had survived the initial auditions. But shortly after he was selected as part of the final 24 contestants, Benson opted to end his run on American Idol, which led the series to not broadcast his Hollywood Week performances. But Benson wasn't done with the music industry, and months later Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds signed him to his label Night Street Records via a deal with Warner Records. His first single, Ghost Town, just barely scraped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with a peak at number 100, but the song had longevity after gaining exposure on TikTok, and it later was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His 2022 single, In The Stars, did even better. It only topped out at 82 on the Hot 100, but it went on to be certified 2x Platinum. Benson's career seemed to floundering after multiple singles in 2022 and 2023 that failed to chart, but he came roaring back last year with his biggest success to date, the single Beautiful Things. The song was buoyed by its omnipresent status on TikTok and Instagram, and it reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified 5x Platinum. Since then, he has had multiple top 40 hits, including last year's Slow It Down and this year's songs Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else and Mystical Magical. Benson looked back on his auspicious first encountering with Katy just as she has been inundated with fan fears for the state of her relationship with her fiancé Orlando Bloom. Yesterday, the 48-year-old Lord Of The Rings star was reported by TMZ to be attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Italy without Katy by his side. But the absence turned out to be because Katy had a prior commitment, as she is touring in Australia at the moment. Katy's widely mocked space flight, the critical revulsion her album 143 earned and the poor reviews her ongoing tour have received have all reportedly added to the strain in her relationship with Orlando; seen with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in 2023 in Dubrovnik, Croatia Still, the couple have been apart for much of the past month, raising concerns of a potential split. A source previously told People magazine that 'They're pretty much done,' while an insider alleged to Page Six that 'It's over' and the two are 'just waiting until the tour is done before they split.' A friend of the couple exclusively told that the couple are 'are on the rocks' this week. Perry and Bloom first met in January 2016. They had a brief breakup in 2017, but later reconciled by March 2018. The pair got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019 and welcomed their daughter, Daisy, in August 2020. Bloom also has a 13-year-old son named Flynn with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, 42. Katy's widely mocked space flight, the critical revulsion her album 143 earned and the poor reviews her ongoing tour have received have all reportedly added to the strain in her relationship with Orlando.

Orlando Bloom and Jerry Bruckheimer Tease New PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Movie — GeekTyrant
The Pirates of the Caribbean isn't quite dead, right now it's just drifting between ports, and it sounds like Disney might finally be preparing to set sail again, though which direction the ship will take is still very much up in the air. During a recent appearance on This Morning (via SFX Magazine), Orlando Bloom, who played Will Turner offered a cryptic tease when asked if he might return. 'There's been all kinds of things. Who knows? There's been talk. I can't say anything at the moment, because I really don't know. I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like. 'I, personally, think it would be great to get the band back together. That would be great. But there are always different ideas, so we'll see where it lands.' Disney and longtime producer Jerry Bruckheimer are apparently looking at two official projects. One is a full franchise reboot written by Jeff Nathanson ( Dead Men Tell No Tales, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ), featuring an entirely new cast and story. The other is a Margot Robbie-led spin-off with a script by Christina Hodson ( Bumblebee, The Flash ), a project that's been talked about for a while but hasn't officially moved forward. Interestingly, there's a third option now floating in the waters, a new installment that reunites some of the original cast, including Bloom, and possibly even Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley. In fact, Bruckheimer himself recently confirmed to ScreenRant that a script is in the works that could do exactly that. 'We're working on a screenplay. Hopefully we'll get it right — and then we'll make it. We really want to make it, that's for sure.' When pressed on whether this would be a complete reboot with all-new faces, Bruckheimer clarified: 'Well, not all new actors. We'll have some back. I'm not going to tell you which ones — you'll have to guess.' With five films already released, and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) setting up a new generation of pirates via Brenton Thwaites' Henry Turner, it's possible the next entry could blend of new blood and legacy characters might be the smartest way forward. Especially if Disney wants to reignite fan enthusiasm without completely abandoning the swashbuckling soul of the series. So, what kind of voyage should Disney embark on? A reboot? A Margot Robbie-led detour? Or one last grand adventure with the original crew? Either way, the wind's picking up, and this ship might be ready to sail sooner than we think.

Amazon Sleeper Hit Snags Nearly Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score
Although the top streaming movie on Prime Video right now is The Accountant 2, that action flick has some serious competition from another action movie that just arrived directly on streaming. Deep Cover is currently trending at #2 in movies overall on Amazon Prime, which is significant since it's a direct-to-streaming movie that has flown in slightly under-the-radar. And, not only is everyone watching it now, but the reviews are almost 100 percent positive. Currently, Deep Cover holds a 94 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, which appears to be climbing daily. The film stars Bryce Dallas Howard as an improv comedy coach who gets involved with an undercover police operation. Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed play two of her improv students, while Sean Bean plays the cop who recruits her. For Howard, Deep Cover is a fantastic comeback, following the disappointing critical reception of her James Bond-esque action comedy Argylle in 2023, which currently holds a slightly sad 33 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. So, Deep Cover is proof that Argylle was a fluke, and that this wonderful actress/director can still carry a delightful movie with a quirky premise. "The film approaches its action tropes with an effective sense of absurdity," writes Caryn James for The Hollywood Reporter. "But it's the stars' kinetic commitment to the bit that makes this relentlessly silly film work." Meanwhile, on Inverse, critic Dias Johnson raves: This isn't just better than most Prime Video original movies — in fact, it may be the best action-comedy thriller in years." There you have it. If you've slept on Deep Cover, it's time to say "yes, and..." and then fire up Amazon Sleeper Hit Snags Nearly Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 16, 2025
