Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship has long been a subject of public fascination, marked by high-profile appearances and a shared child. Their recent split in mid-2025 reignited speculation about the role of infidelity may have played, particularly after Perry was seen kissing former Canadian Prime Minister Justn Trudeau just weeks after the breakup. While tabloids have swirled with rumors, including past allegations involving Bloom and Selena Gomez in 2016, neither Perry nor Bloom has publicly confirmed cheating as the cause of their separation.
From a legal standpoint, even if infidelity occurred, it would not entitle either party to compensation under Australian family law. Australia follows a no-fault divorce system, meaning courts do not consider the reasons for a relationship’s breakdown, such as cheating, when determining property division or spousal maintenance. The law focuses on equitable financial outcomes and the welfare of any children, rather than assigning moral blame.
There are limited exceptions, a prenuptial agreement may include clauses that penalise infidelity, but such provisions must be carefully drafted and are rarely enforced. Unlike some jurisdictions that once allowed “alienation of affection” lawsuits against third parties, Australia does not recognise such claims.
In the case of Perry and Bloom, their separation, however dramatic in the public eye, will likely be resolved through standard family law procedures without regard to personal grievances. The legal system prioritises fairness and practicality over emotional justice, even when celebrity relationships unravel under the spotlight
