The once-hot actor isn\u2019t having much luck with the Hollywood ladies after splitting from Katy Perry<\/p>\n

Newly single Orlando is struggling<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
He was once the toast of Hollywood \u2013 and one of showbiz\u2019s most eligible bachelors \u2013 but newly single Orlando Bloom isn\u2019t finding his new single life as much fun as he\u2019d hoped.<\/p>\n
While ex-fianc\u00e9e Katy Perry has been pictured cosying up to a new man (Canada\u2019s former PM, Justin Trudeau, no less!), heat is hearing that Orlando is finding life after their separation far harder than he bargained for.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Orlando and Katy broke up, he was sure he\u2019d be able to attract anyone,\u201d a source confides. \u201cBut things aren\u2019t going his way. Women don\u2019t take him seriously and just think he\u2019s a bit much\u00a0\u2013\u00a0he keeps striking out in the dating scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was turned down by Sydney Sweeney, which really stung and left him embarrassed. People tend to roll their eyes when he walks by. He\u2019s coming across as a cringey middle-aged guy, while Katy is thriving and looking happier than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
After nine years together and\u00a0a\u00a0four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, the pair confirmed their split just after Orlando made his public \u2018single man debut\u2019 at\u00a0Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez\u2019s\u00a0wedding on July 4th.<\/p>\n
Orlando appeared upbeat at the wedding, spotted speaking with Kim Kardashian and strolling in Venice with Sydney Sweeney, his arm around a \u2018mystery woman\u00a0\u2013later revealed to be one of Katy\u2019s former stylists.<\/p>\n
Later, word spread that Orlando, now 48, had\u00a0been preparing for single life\u00a0long before the break. He was reportedly seen openly flirting in Miami this spring, joining in\u00a0the launch of a\u00a0cruise ship and attending the Miami Grand Prix with other recently-single stars like Tom Brady and Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet.<\/p>\n

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom split earlier this summer<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
While Orlando cut loose, Katy was hard at work headlining her Lifetimes Tour, which wraps up in December in Abu Dhabi. Despite her exhausting schedule, fans were thrilled when Katy, 40, was photographed at dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 53, who also attended her Montreal concert just days later.<\/p>\n
Now, insiders confirm Katy is positively glowing over the unexpected connection. \u201cShe\u2019s giddy and it\u2019s all so new, but Katy can\u2019t think of a more exciting man to be seeing. Politics has always fascinated her, and dating Justin\u00a0\u2013 who is\u00a0one of the world\u2019s most sought-after politicians\u00a0\u2013\u00a0feels like a huge win. After everything with Orlando, this new spark is exactly what she needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, seeing Katy embrace a fresh start with such a high-profile bachelor has left Orlando devastated. \u201cWatching Katy with Justin is a blow to Orlando\u2019s pride,\u201d our source reveals. \u201cHe can clearly see how excited she is to move on, and it\u2019s shaken him. He knows Justin has\u00a0both\u00a0the charm and looks and he\u2019s struggling with that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s reflecting now, realizing he could have treated Katy with more kindness. Seeing her flourish like this is a tough pill to swallow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once a leading man thanks to his roles in Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, Orlando seemed to have it all\u00a0\u2013\u00a0famous exes like\u00a0actresses\u00a0Kate Bosworth and Penelope Cruz, and a marriage to\u00a0supermodel\u00a0Miranda Kerr, with whom he shares son Flynn, 13.<\/p>\n
Orlando has said himself\u00a0that\u2019s he\u2019s always \u2018loved women.\u2019\u00a0In a 2020 interview, he talked about the\u00a0sexual\u00a0magnetism he felt\u00a0\u2013\u00a0and inspired\u00a0\u2013\u00a0everywhere he went, revealing, \u2018If it wasn\u2019t in my eye, it was probably in theirs [the women he met at parties]. I was a pretty boy, so wherever I went there was a bit of [frisson]. And I loved women.\u2019<\/p>\n

Now, though, it\u2019s a different Hollywood for Orlando. \u201cHe used to be so confident, but the rejections lately have thrown him off,\u201d says the insider. \u201cHe thought women would be clamouring for him at the Bezos wedding, but instead, he\u2019s faced disappointment after disappointment\u00a0\u2013\u00a0and now he can hardly get a date in LA.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not the blockbuster superstar he was 20 years ago, and while he still sees himself as an A-lister,\u00a0he can come across as fairly arrogant and that\u2019s been a turn-off to a lot of the girls he\u2019s going after.\u2019<\/p>\n
Katy and Orlando have promised to lovingly co-parent their daughter and even managed a recent family trip to Capri. But friends noticed Katy was visibly struggling, at times appearing heartbroken during the yacht vacation and breaking down in tears at her last Australian show.<\/p>\n
Now, those close to them say Orlando is feeling the fallout from his past mistakes. \u201cMany women feel Katy was wronged, and Orlando\u2019s recent behaviour hasn\u2019t done him any favours. Sympathy for him is at a low.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s suddenly just another single guy in Hollywood, realizing he\u2019ll have to reset his expectations. He\u2019s still clinging to the confidence of his youth, but the years\u00a0have caught up with him \u2013 and his enormous ego isn\u2019t exactly helping him with the ladies!\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
