In celebrity land, posting a photo of your new relationship to social media is a big deal.
It’s basically saying, “this is the REAL DEAL, guys” and is typically followed up with rumors of a secret pregnancy.
We’ve known that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have been coupling for a while now, with the first reports hitting the tabloids in January.
Since then, they’ve been seen packing on the PDA together on numerous occasions, and it became clear they were no longer in hiding.
And now, Perry has made the bold move of sharing a pic of herself with Bloom to Instagram.
Here they are, the now-official couple, lying on some steps whilst wearing robes in the South of France:
“We cannes’t,” she wrote in the caption, trying to be punny about their visit to the French city.
Perry performed last night at the amfAR Gala during the Cannes Film Festival, where Bloom was also in attendance.
Oddly enough, despite Perry’s social media confirmation of their coupledom, she walked the red carpet solo, and while inside the gala, the pair were seated separately.
According to Us Weekly, photographers were instructed not to snap photos of the pair, and insiders claimed the two avoided appearing together.
So it’s certainly curious why Perry would so freely share a pic of her and her beau to Insta the next day.
Blame it on the alcohol?
Earlier this month, Bloom was photographed getting cozy in a club with Selena Gomez, who the actor was rumored to have been dating last year.
Fans were quick to assume he was going behind Perry’s back.
However, both Perry and Gomez shut down the rumors on social media about as quickly as they started.
