It was after the death of his stepfather that his biological father Stone stepped in as his legal guardian. Bloom has an older sister named Samantha Bloom

Orlando Bloom Relationship With Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom has had the privilege of having romantic relationships with some of the most gorgeous women in the entertainment industry. However, one of his relationships that attracted a lot of media attention is with American pop star Katy Perry. Their date began in January 2016 right after the 73rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
Their first PDA together came at the Weinstein Company/Netflix Golden Globes after the party in the Sunset Tower, where they obviously flirted and even danced with each other. In the following months, the two performed together in public and soon became known as Perrybloom. In February 2016, they attended Adele’s concert together and Coachella’s in April. All this time they never officially confirmed their relationship.
While the world waited eagerly for their first joint appearance on the red carpet, they came separately to the Met Gala. However, they couldn’t hide their ongoing relationship for long, as Perry went to her Gram page for the first time to post photos of her with Bloom. Their relationship broke up on the internet in August 2016 when photos of her holiday in Italy appeared online. In one of the photos, Bloom was stark naked while riding a paddleboard with his girlfriend Perry.
And then came Halloween 2016, when she dressed up as Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton and couldn’t help but love the world more. Towards the end of 2016, her paradise seemed to be plagued by unrest when the first rumor of their separation hit the news, but only rumors proved to be true until her representatives released statements in March 2017 confirming that the couple had indeed separated. Nonetheless, Bloom was still sighted with Pery on many occasions.

They were married in July 2010, and in January 2011 Kerr gave birth to her son in Los Angeles. He was named Flynn Christopher Bloom.
Two years after the birth of their son in October 2013, the couple announced their separation and their intention to divorce. They completed their divorce by the end of 2013. Unconfirmed sources have claimed that Bloom’s drinking problem was part of what brought their marriage to an abrupt end. While Bloom apparently had his heart mended by Perry. Kerr found love in the eyes of Snapchat billionaire and founder of Snapchat, Evan Spiegel. They were married in 2015.
