Orlando Bloom Reveals He was ‘Triggered' by ‘Partner' Which Led Him to Therapy—as He Sells $7M Los Angeles Home Following Katy Perry Split
The 48-year-old—who separated from the 'Hot N Cold' hitmaker, 40, in June—got candid about his emotional journey to healing using the Hoffman Method, which is a week-long personal growth retreat where people identify and heal negative patterns.
While speaking on Oprah Winfrey's podcast, 'The Oprah Podcast,' Bloom admitted that he had struggled with toxic behaviors and turned to the Hoffman Method to help him change his ways.
He explained, 'I went to the Hoffman process about 10 years ago because I'd been triggered in a dynamic with my partner that had led me into a pattern of behavior that was very similar to the way in which I had grown up with my mother.'
The actor noted that his childhood left him feeling 'confused' about how to love and how to receive affection.
'I was very confused about how to navigate the dynamics and the feelings that I was having,' he added before revealing that a fellow actor helped push him to the Hoffman Method.
'I was just about to turn 40, and it was really the greatest gift I could give myself, and the greatest reveal in my life up until that point. I felt like I'd almost been born again. It felt like I did 10 years of therapy in one week,' he added.
The Hollywood heavyweight further noted that healing himself helped him become a better parent to 4-year-old daughter, Daisy, whom he shares with Perry, and Flynn, 13, with whom she shares with ex Miranda Kerr.
'I think my job as a parent now is to allow my children to grow without getting in their way. It's sort of like, don't get in the way of anyone else's journey.
'Don't let anyone get in the way of your journey, and just be grateful for the opportunities that are presented to you, and see the challenges of the dynamic that are in front of you as an opportunity for you to grow.'
He noted that he is not 'perfect,' adding that he is learning as the days go on.
'I'm not saying I'm perfect. It's not easy at all, but it is something that without the Hoffman process, I don't think I could say I would have understood. I think I could have been easily triggered.'
'Now, even if I am and if we come across a situation that we're in conflict about [something], I can take a step back.
'I can let some time pass and then we can re-engage in a conversation where I'm looking at everything from [Flynn's] perspective whilst trying to lay in my thinking without it overwhelming or getting in the way of his process,' he shared.
Although the actor didn't name the partner that 'triggered' him, Bloom was in a long-term relationship with Kerr at the time of the incident.
His candid confession comes after Realtor.com® exclusively revealed that he had sold his four-bedroom, four-bathroom California home one month after listing it.
The home was originally built in 1959. Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragonés, who sold the home to Bloom, had expanded and enhanced the home's midcentury modern architecture.
Bloom's renovations included a new, zero-edge pool with an ipe wood deck. The outdoor area features bulit-in seating and a fire pit, and can be accessed via floor-to-ceiling sliders from several rooms in the house.
The actor initially listed the abode in 2019 for $9 million, after having paid $7 million for the pad in 2017.
The 4,011-square-foot, single-story home has four bedrooms and four baths. It sits on a hillside overlooking the city and the ocean. A mature hedge out front provides privacy.
Bloom also opened up the floor plan, expanding the kitchen and allowing in more natural light. He added bespoke Poliform fixtures and finishes as well as indoor LED lighting.
The master suite also had some work done. After the actor moved in, he opened the space so it could open out to the pool and has generous closet space. The master bath has a wet room with a free-standing tub and shower. There's a private patio right outside the floor-to ceiling windows.
One of the home's more fascinating features is a sunken conversation pit lined with sumptuous sofas in the living room.
News of the actor's home sale comes after it was revealed that Perry and Bloom had called it quits.
The former couple began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes after-party, where they fought over an In 'N' Out burger, the singer previously revealed during an episode of 'American Idol.'

Ichiro cracks jokes, shares wisdom and calls out lone voter in National Baseball Hall of Fame speech
All-Star right fielder and Seattle Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. But even as Ichiro was awarded the honor alongside CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, it was his speech that stole the show. Ichiro, who typically gave interviews in his native Japanese throughout his career, opted to speak in English when addressing the crowd in Cooperstown. In his speech, the outfielder shared some wisdom, and dropped plenty of jokes. One of the best parts of Ichiro's speech was a reference to the lone Hall of Fame voter who kept him from being a unanimous selection. At the time, Ichiro joked that he wanted to invite that writer over to "have a drink together" and "a good chat." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] On Sunday, Ichiro listed out some of his impressive statistics, saying that the achievements were "recognized by the writers." "Well, all but of one of you," he added, referencing the voter, whose identity is still unknown. "And by the way, the offer for that writer to have dinner at my home has now expired." During the speech Ichiro referred to himself as a "rookie" for third time in his career, noting his origins with the Orix Buffaloes in Japan and Mariners, with whom he made his MLB debut at age 27. The outfielder mentioned some of the Hall of Famers gathered on stage for the ceremony — 52 in total. "I am 51 years old, so easy on the hazing," he joked to those Hall of Famers. The humor continued, as Ichiro also got in a good dig at the Miami Marlins, who he played for from 2015-2017. "Honestly, when you guys called to offer me a contract for 2015, I had never heard of your team," Ichiro said, earning a hearty laugh from the crowd. Later, Ichiro got in a stellar, full-throttled impression of Mariners broadcast Rick Rizzs. But much of the outfielder's speech was very heartfelt. In between jokes, Ichiro thanked the Mariners for bringing him to the league, and thanked former pitcher Hideo Nomo, the first Japanese player to relocate to MLB, for his "courage" and for paving the way. Ichiro also offered some advice, speaking about his own mentality heading into the league, and learning to focus on your best self. "If you consistently do the little things, there's no limit to what you can achieve," Ichiro said. "Look at me. I'm 5'11, and 170 pounds. When I came to America, many people said I was too skinny to compete with bigger major leaguers. ... But I knew that if I stuck to my beliefs about preparation, I could overcome the doubts, even my own. "I have been asked, 'what is the best thing you can do for your team?' My answer is, taking responsibility for yourself," he added. "When you go home at night and wonder why you didn't get a hit, or you didn't make a catch, the honest answer is not because a great pitcher beat you, or the sun was in your eyes. It's because there was something you could have done better." Ichiro finished the speech by saying that he had not heard of Cooperstown until he visited for the first time in 2001, and began to understand the scope of the honor. "Being here today sure is like a fantastic dream," Ichiro said, in conclusion. Ichiro, Sabathia and Wagner will now be enshrined in Cooperstown, as well as Dick Allen and Dave Parker, who were voted in by the Classic Baseball Era committee.

Adam Sandler Pays Tribute To Late Co-Star With Subtle Easter Egg In ‘Happy Gilmore 2'
Adam Sandler paid tribute to his former on-screen son, the late Cameron Boyce, in his new movie 'Happy Gilmore 2' six years after Boyce died. After the comedy sequel released on Netflix Friday, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Boyce, who starred as Sandler's son in 'Grown Ups,' appeared on a TV in the background of one scene. The footage playing on the TV during the scene was seemingly from an episode of Disney Channel's 'Jessie,' which Boyce starred in from 2011 to 2015. Boyce died in his sleep at age 20 in 2019, according to a statement from his family. An autopsy later revealed that the young actor died as a result of an ongoing epileptic condition. Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, gushed over Sandler's touching easter egg dedicated to the late Disney star. Reps for Sandler and Netflix didn't immediately respond to HuffPost's requests for comment. Sandler also honored Boyce in the 2020 Netflix comedy 'Hubie Halloween.' Boyce was set to star in the film before he died. 'In loving memory of CAMERON BOYCE,' the on-screen tribute shown during the film's credits read alongside a photo of Boyce. 'Gone way too soon and one of the kindest, coolest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew. You live on forever in our hearts and are truly missed every day.' Following Boyce's death in 2019, Sandler reportedly remembered the young actor as 'the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around' in a post on X. 'Loved that kid. Cared so much about his family. Cared so much about the world,' the director added. 'Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way. All our hearts are broken. Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences.' Related...
