Rose Curse? BLACKPINK Star Dragged Into Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom's ‘Breakup'
Last Updated:
Fans bring back the viral 'Rose Curse' meme as Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's breakup sparks hilarious as well as heated reactions.
The news of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's breakup after nearly nine years of togetherness has dominated headlines worldwide. As reports of their alleged split continue to make waves, social media has spiraled into a frenzy, not just over the breakup itself, but due to a recurring meme that BLACKPINK fans know all too well.
Adding to the chatter, fans of BLACKPINK's Rose have once again revived the long-running inside joke known as the 'Rose Curse", which has now gone viral, especially on X.
The joke? That any celebrity couple photographed with Rose ends up parting ways. While there's absolutely no truth behind it and it holds no relevance to the real lives of these stars, fans and meme-makers have brought the theory back into circulation with tongue firmly in cheek.

Shortly after the news broke, BLINKs—BLACKPINK's fandom—took to X, posting edits, memes and reactions linking Katy and Orlando split to the so-called 'Rose curse." One user wrote, 'There's this ongoing meme called the Rosé Curse. Every time she meets someone in a relationship, they break up." Another joked, 'OMG Rosé curse strikes again."
However, not everyone is amused. Some fans expressed concern over the meme's tone, with one person saying, 'If you don't consider yourself a bully, then delete this. Rosé is not amused by this joke." Others reminded people that Katy and Orlando had been facing difficulties for some time, and that these jokes, while humorous to some, might feel unfair or unnecessary.
The origins of the 'curse" meme trace back to several coincidental celebrity breakups following photos with Rose. In 2021, she was seen with Bella Poarch, who later revealed her divorce from a secret husband of four years. In November 2022, Rose posed with Kendall Jenner, and shortly after, Kendall reportedly split from Devin Booker. The internet quickly assembled a list of 'victims," including Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, Florence Pugh and Zach Braff, among others.
Despite the growing list of coincidences, fans have repeatedly clarified that the meme is all in good fun. As one post summed it up, 'It's a joke, not an actual theory. Don't take it seriously."
Meanwhile, Rose continues to trend, not for any alleged curse, but for her recent reunion with BLACKPINK members Lisa, Jennie and Jisoo, as well as her ever-growing presence in fashion and music.
