Reps for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Although the pair were initially going to tie the knot in 2020, they postponed their nuptials due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The couple, who share 4-year-old daughter Daisy, have not divulged any details about their plans for another ceremony.
Perry did, however, make a racy admission about her romance on “Call Her Daddy” in September 2024, telling podcast listeners she performs oral sex when her partner does chores.
