CelebrityOrlando Bloom Rumor Gets Update

TMZ first had the internet doing celebrity math after Orlando Bloom appeared to arrive around the same time as influencer Meredith Duxbury at a Met Gala after-party. Then came the correction that matters.

In an update published May 5, 2026, TMZ reported that a source said Bloom was actually with Luisa Laemmel on Monday night. According to the outlet’s source, Bloom does not know Duxbury and was likely just walking in at the same time.

So, for anyone already building a new couple timeline: the reported record does not support it.

What was seen

TMZ reported that Bloom, 49, was photographed getting out of a car as Duxbury, 27, was also arriving for Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna’s Met Gala after-party in New York City.

The initial photos prompted romance chatter because the two appeared in the same arrival sequence. But TMZ also noted there was no hand-holding or visible PDA. That detail was important even before the outlet’s update, since proximity at a celebrity after-party is not exactly a sworn statement.

The Luisa Laemmel context

The name that now matters is Luisa Laemmel. TMZ identified her as the Swiss supermodel Bloom was linked to earlier in 2026.

The outlet previously reported that Bloom and Laemmel were seen leaving the Super Bowl arm-in-arm. Its latest update says she was the person with Bloom on Monday night, not Duxbury.

Where the rumor stands

Here is the clean version:

  • Orlando Bloom was photographed arriving at a Met Gala after-party in New York.
  • Meredith Duxbury was also seen arriving around the same time.
  • TMZ initially framed the moment as fuel for romance speculation.
  • TMZ later updated the story, citing a source who said Bloom was with Luisa Laemmel.
  • The same source said Bloom does not know Duxbury.

Bloom’s public dating life has drawn extra attention since his split from Katy Perry, and TMZ’s initial item also referenced his past marriage to Miranda Kerr. Still, the outlet’s own update changes the read on this particular night.

For now, this is less a new romance and more a reminder that after-party entrances can create their own plotlines. Cameras love a coincidence. The update is doing the less glamorous work of cleaning it up.
