Orlando Bloom is enjoying some quality time with his daughter Daisy Dove during the heat of the summer.
On Monday, Aug. 4, the 48-year-old actor took to Instagram to share new photos from his recent summertime adventures amid his split from longtime love Katy Perry.
“Some fun being had ☀️,” Bloom captioned the photo dump, which included quite a few pics and videos with Daisy, 4½, and his new dog Biggie Smalls.
In a brief clip that opened the post, the Pirates of the Caribbean star sat in the driver’s seat of a blue truck, revving the engine and posing for the camera with Biggie, who made his official debut on the Today show in early June, by his side.

Daisy appeared in the second picture, being cradled in Bloom’s arms as they sat on a couch outside in front of the beach. The actor had a loving look on his face as he stared down at his little girl, who was dressed in a pair of floral shorts and a red top.
Bloom’s younger child was featured in a few more photos and videos from the post. In one, she was seen running along the beach with a kite as her dad offered coaching from behind the camera.
In another, the Lord of the Rings star held his daughter in his arms as they waded into the ocean.
Bloom’s post comes a few weeks after he and Perry reunited to share a photo of their blended family. In the picture, posted to Instagram, he was on a boat with his ex-fiancé as well as Daisy and his 14-year-old son Flynn, whom he shares with ex Miranda Kerr.
PEOPLE confirmed that Bloom and Perry had split after nine years together in late June.
Representatives for the stars issued a statement about the separation and the former couple’s goals moving forward on July 3.
“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,” the statement read.
It concluded, “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.”
Perry, 40, has since been romantically linked to Canada’s former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. After they were seen out together in Montreal, Trudeau, 53, attended one of Perry’s concerts amid her ongoing Lifetimes Tour.
“They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,” a source told PEOPLE on Saturday, Aug. 2, noting that the pair felt an “instant connection.”
The insider continued, “She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.”
Following the romance rumors between Trudeau and Perry, satirical publication The Onion jokingly linked Bloom to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a post on Instagram.
Bloom took the joke in good form, commenting, “👏👏👏.”
