LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are known for making headlines with their red carpet PDA, but their appearance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards caught everyone by surprise.

Despite their kiss, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s display at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards seemed to lack their usual spark.

Body language specialist Traci Brown assured that the subdued moment was likely due to Perry’s dress rather than any relationship issues, noting that her ensemble wasn’t exactly suited for a casual kiss. So, there’s no need to worry about trouble in paradise.



 

Body language expert believes all is well between Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

It’s unlikely that we’ll be seeing breakup headlines involving Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry anytime soon.

According to behavior analyst and body language specialist Traci Brown, CSP, despite their awkward red carpet antics, all is well between Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.

"Great couples are tight on the red carpet like they're glued together. The problem here is that she's covered in some kind of grease. I think this is rehearsed and he's not getting close enough to step on her dress," Brown explained, adding that their subtle signals show they're still very much in love.

Brown added, according to Nickiswift, "They are looking at each other deeply in the eye, to make up for not being that close. They are trying to figure out what to do with their hands. And with all of the other unusual choices, it adds to the awkwardness. They aren't quite together on their little routine."

If the analysis wasn't convincing enough, Orlando Bloom delivered a speech that had everyone, including their mothers, in stitches while presenting Perry with her Vanguard award on stage.

"You fell in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson," Bloom said. "You know her as a global superstar who brings love, light, and her unique sense of humor to every song she writes and music video she creates. I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings that same love and joy to our family."
