Orlando Bloom has been branded ‘messy’ by fans after being snapped with Rachel Lynn Matthews dressed as his ex for Halloween.

A photo of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, and Rachel Lynn Matthews has gone viral after she dressed as Katy Perry for a themed bash.

Orlando and the Dark Horse singer, 41, split earlier this year after getting engaged in 2019 and welcoming daughter Daisy, five, a year later.

Katy has moved on with Justin Trudeau, while Orlando is rumoured to be dipping his toes into the dating world.

At a Halloween party, Orlando, with a skull painted on his face, posed for a snap with Happy Death Day star Rachel, 32, dressed as Katy in a blue spacesuit from her Blue Origin Space flight trip.

In April, the pop icon was among an all-women crew that journeyed into space for 11 minutes, a trip that faced immense backlash.

Pop star Katy Perry completed a brief foray into space Monday, roaring to the edge of the cosmos with an all-women crew on one of billionaire Jeff Bezos's rockets. The "Firework" and "California Gurls" singer was lofted more than 60 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth's surface in a vessel from Blue Origin, the space company owned by the Amazon founder. Five other women -- including Bezos's fiancee Lauren Sanchez -- were on the flight, which took off from western Texas shortly after 8:30 am (1330 GMT) before safely landing again some (Photo by Handout / BLUE ORIGIN / AFP) / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT "AFP PHOTO / HANDOUT / BLUE ORIGIN " - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS (Photo by HANDOUT/BLUE ORIGIN/AFP via Getty Images)

After touching back down on Earth, Katy kissed the ground, a moment which Rachel referenced in a photo posted in costume.

‘Take up space!’ she wrote alongside the pictures posted to Instagram, donning a blue catsuit and a black wig.

Fans, however, have branded Orlando ‘disrespectful’ for the picture, saying he should ‘have more class’ following his breakup.

On a Reddit post, Sooodamnfancy wrote: ‘I’m honestly lost for words. Shame on both of them! Messy af.’

In the comment section, BatGurl89 added: ‘Honestly that was my thought process… like not only is that his ex but the mother of his child, disgustingly disrespectful.’

Ok-Option6971 said: ‘Even if it’s not his gf, it’s mean to pose for a picture with someone dressed up as your ex.’

Meanwhile, PadamPadam2024 added that he should ‘have more class than that.’

Katy sparked rumours back in July that she was dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin after they were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner in Montreal.

They have since been seen together several times in public, with Justin attending Katy’s live shows and the pair enjoying a cosy embrace on the singer’s yacht.

Last month, a source told The Sun that Deep Cover actor Orlando is also actively dating, having been spotted in a London cocktail bar with a mystery woman.

The insider said: ‘Orlando and Katy split really amicably and only want the best for each other. He has been keeping things low-key but is dating again.

‘He’s been on a string of dates in Chelsea and it looks pretty chill, but he’s having fun. Right now, he’s keeping it casual.’
