Hollywood heavyweight Orlando Bloom has offloaded his sprawling Beverly Hills mansion for $7 million, weeks after he and songstress Katy Perry called it quits.

The 48-year-old—who separated from the “Hot N Cold” hitmaker, 40, in June—has sold his four-bedroom, four-bathroom dwelling just over a month after listing it, Realtor.com® can exclusively reveal

“It’s located on the best street in Trousdale,” listing agent Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group previously gushed.

Trousdale Estates is a star-studded neighborhood where Beverly Hills meets the Bird Streets, a posh area receiving exposure in Oppenheim’s new Netflix reality show, “Selling Sunset.”

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 “made it perfect,” said Oppenheim, who also represented the actor in the purchase of the property, referring to the renovations Bloom spent a year-and-a-half working on.

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.

Upon purchasing the home, Bloom completed an overhaul. His 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.

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.”

According to one insider, the duo—who share a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy—remain “amicable” amid their “split” and are focused on co-parenting their child together.

“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” a source told Us Weekly. “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”

“They are still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together,” a second insider added, noting that Bloom and Perry are both planning to continue residing in Montecito, CA, to avoid disrupting their daughter’s life as much as possible.

“They aren’t making drastic changes for Daisy’s sake. They will keep their lives in Montecito. They are prioritizing stability and consistency for Daisy.”

Rumors of a split dogged the couple for years; however, Bloom appeared to confirm the latest speculation when he made a solo arrival in Venice for the wedding of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez—with whom Perry is also understood to be close friends.

Bloom was seen spending time with Kim KardashianKhloe Kardashian, and Kris Jenner after touching down in the Italian city just hours before the Bezos-Sanchez celebrations were due to kick off.

The actor was seen grinning from ear to ear as he leaned in to embrace the trio, whom he appears to have run into while grabbing some food outside of The Gritti Palace hotel, where many of Bezos and Sanchez’s guests are staying.

One source told TMZ that Bloom is refusing to let the split get him down, claiming that the actor is planning to let his hair down during the wedding celebrations.

“He’s the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard!” the insider claimed.

Currently, it’s not known whether Perry will make an appearance at the wedding—having been one of a select few guests invited to attend Sanchez’s bachelorette party back in May, alongside Kim and Eva Longoria.

The pop sensation is currently in the middle of her Lifetimes Tour and is due to perform in Australia on June 26, June 27, June 29, and June 30, suggesting she will not have time to jet to Venice for the wedding festivities.

When her tour wraps, however, Perry will return to Montecito—where she and Bloom are in the process of finishing renovations on a sprawling compound that they purchased in October 2020 for a staggering $14.2 million.

The duo were understood to have been carrying out extensive work on the sprawling abode, which is one of two over-the-top dwellings that Perry owns in the tony, celebrity-loved enclave.

It’s unclear who will take ownership of the property, however records seen by Realtor.com® indicate that only Perry’s name was on the deed.
