Orlando Bloom was seen arriving at a Met Gala afterparty with model and influencer Meredith Duxbury, 27, before leaving hours later with another model who bears a striking resemblance to his ex-fiancée Katy Perry. The 49-year-old actor wore an all-black outfit with a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes as he entered the star-studded event in New York.
Meredith Duxbury, a prominent influencer, accompanied Bloom as they walked into the venue together. However, a source told TMZ that Bloom was actually attending with Swiss model Luisa Laemmel, 28, whom he left the afterparty with. Bloom had previously been photographed with Laemmel at the Super Bowl LX on February 8, amid rumours of a new romance.
In March, The Sun reported that Bloom and Laemmel have been quietly dating for several months. A source described them as a 'proper little family unit', noting that Bloom even flew his teacup poodle Biggie Smalls over for a trip. The actor is based in Los Angeles while Laemmel lives in New York, but there is said to be a 'real spark' between them.
Bloom confirmed his split from Katy Perry last year after getting engaged in 2019. The couple share a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. Bloom also has a 15-year-old son, Flynn, from his marriage to Australian model Miranda Kerr, which ended in 2013.
Katy Perry, who attended the Met Gala in a futuristic face mask and white gown, has since moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau, 54, is legally separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, with whom he co-parents three children.
