Orlando Bloom's breakup posts are getting more cryptic by the day.

We've all been through a break-up that hits so hard you find yourself sharing inspirational quotes on Instagram. Albeit, it was probably in high school.

But it seems Orlando Bloom has reached that stage of his breakup where quote tiles are speaking to him following his split from Katy Perry.

The couple, who have been together since 2016 (with a brief break in 2017) and engaged since 2019, called it quits after years of mounting pressures both personal and professional.

Now, Bloom appears to have given insight into his state of mind over the past days, reposting quotes about "new beginnings" and loneliness. Someone go give the man a hug, please.

First, listen to The Spill talk about Orlando's new rumoured romance. Post continues below.

On Monday, Bloom shared a quote from Gautama Buddha to his Instagram Story, saying: "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most."

Then, according to People, the actor posted yet another inspirational quote from Daisaku Ikeda.

"The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next," it read.

It got many wondering: could this be a cryptic clue about their relationship breakdown?

The posting is only getting deeper by the day.

On Thursday, Bloom shared yet another deep missive, with this one making it to his Instagram grid.

"Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself," read one of the quotes he shared with his followers.

Another said: "We are not what happened to us, we are what we choose to become."

The behaviour appears to be out of character for the Hollywood star, who doesn't seem to regularly post inspirational quotes straight to the grid.

It's safe to assume he just really needs a 'pick me up'.

As for Perry? The most she's given us are some cute photos of a quokka with the caption, "Mood: Quokka".

However, she has also been seen getting emotional on stage, thanking her fans for their support at this time.

The singer just wrapped up her time in Australia performing her Lifetimes world tour with her four-year-old daughter Daisy in tow. Meanwhile, Bloom headed to Venice solo for Billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding.

News of the couple's split was confirmed by People on June 26. But for many, it didn't come as a surprise given the widespread rumours of their estrangement.

A source told People, that the pop star has reportedly been "disappointed in some of the tour reviews," which has "put stress" on her relationship with Orlando, on top of public backlash over her commercial space trip.

Perry fuelled the speculation during a Sydney show last month.

While performing her song 'I'm Still Breathing', which features lyrics such as "we're going down for sure, already lost our grip, best abandon ship," the singer made a cryptic comment some interpreted as pointed towards Bloom.

"This song is about a break-up, and this Tim Tam saved me," she told the crowd, referring to the beloved Aussie snack.

A source told People the split was "amicable" but the stars "got to a point where they feel there is no going back to a healthy relationship and that it's better to live separate lives".

Now, Perry is adjusting to her new role as solo parent, a source telling the publication she "never saw herself as a single mum".

"She's felt a lot of pressure about her tour and now this. It's been a lot for her," they added.

Despite the split, sources indicate both Perry and Bloom remain focused on co-parenting their daughter Daisy, prioritising her wellbeing above all else.
