Orlando Bloom shared vulnerable posts about loneliness on Instagram, following his split with Katy Perry. On Wednesday, he shared posts quoting psychotherapist Carl Jung.

“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate that seem important to oneself,” read one quote. Another said, "Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”

These reposts came a week after the news surfaced that Bloom and Perry had parted ways. The on-and-off couple spent nearly a decade together. Though the breakup was amicable, an insider told US Weekly that it was “a long time coming,” and that the couple had been living separately since Perry went on tour in May.

“It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life," said the inside source.

Perry first met the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor in 2016 after leaving a marriage with Russell Brand from 2010-2012. Bloom was married to Miranda Kerr from 2010-2013, and they share a son named Flynn, now 14 years old.

Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, ended their engagement, but are still co-parenting their daughter, Daisy Dove, who was born in August 2020.

“They have been spending more and more time apart,” said a source. “They’ve grown apart and aren’t living the same lives anymore.”
