- Following his recent split from Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom shared a series of reflective quotes from Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung on Wednesday, June 2

- PEOPLE confirmed on June 26 that Bloom and Perry had gone their separate ways after nine years together
Orlando Bloom is seemingly feeling reflective following his split from Katy Perry.
On Wednesday, July 2, the actor, 48, re-posted a carousel of musings from the Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung taken from the account @sapienkind. Among the posts was an exploration of the idea of “loneliness.” A second quote said that even a happy life needs to be balanced by “sadness.”
These reflections on “loneliness” and “sadness” come after PEOPLE confirmed on June 26 that Bloom and Perry, 40, had split.
That same day, Bloom flew solo to Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’ wedding. The English actor was photographed arriving in the Italian city and hanging out with reality stars Kim and Khloé Kardashian, as well as their mom, Kris Jenner, over lunch at the Gritti Palace.
After meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016, Bloom and Perry went Instagram official a few months later when they attended the Cannes Film Festival together. After dating for a year, the pair parted ways in 2017 but soon rekindled their romance and got engaged in February 2019. Perry later revealed the details of the Valentine’s Day proposal during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
“Orlando had planned this for a while,” a source told PEOPLE of the milestone moment. “He wanted it all to be special.” He even asked for her parents’ approval beforehand.
The pair announced the following year that they were expecting a baby. They planned to wed in Japan in summer 2020, but their big day was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. In August 2020, the couple welcomed a baby girl called Daisy Dove. A year later, Perry told PEOPLE that motherhood was “just the best in the world. It’s the game-changer.” She added, “My heart is so full, finally.”
