Exclusive Scoop!

Orlando Bloom Spotted Reuniting with Kim Kardashian Ahead of Jeff Bezos' Lavish Wedding Extravaganza!

The A-list drama is heating up in Venice, Italy! As the world awaits the grand wedding celebration between tech mogul Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez, an unexpected reunion has caught everyone's attention. Orlando Bloom, the handsome actor, was spotted mingling with Kim Kardashian, the Queen of Reality TV, just days before the big day.

Orlando, 48, wasted no time reaching in for several air kisses with Kim, 44, as the pair joined Khloe Kardashian and friends for a catch up before the ceremony

The unlikely duo, both fashion icons in their own right, were seen chatting away in the Italian sunshine alongside Khloe Kardashian, Lauren's sister-in-law and a wedding guest. The trio looked like they were having the time of their lives as they prepared for the lavish celebration.

But this isn't the first time Orlando and Kim have crossed paths. Remember that infamous moment when Orlando was "checking out" Kim's famous derrière at an event with his then-fiancée, Katy Perry? Well, it seems like old habits die hard! The three of them even bonded over a girls' trip to Paris last month, where they celebrated Lauren's hen do.

Orlando, 48, has been making headlines lately due to his alleged split from pop star Katy Perry. The couple, who have been on-again, off-again for nearly a decade, reportedly called it quits after weeks of escalating tension. Fans have been speculating about the reasons behind their breakup, with some pointing to Orlando's rumored infidelity.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian, 44, has been keeping busy with her various business ventures and personal projects. As an insider revealed, "Kim is always up for a good time and loves being around her girls."

The star-studded guest list for Jeff Bezos' wedding extravaganza is packed with A-listers from the worlds of entertainment, politics, and finance. Oprah Winfrey, another high-profile guest, was spotted arriving in Venice looking stylish as ever.

As the big day approaches, the city of Venice is bracing itself for an influx of VIPs and a major logistical operation to ensure the smooth running of the event. The tech magnate has reportedly invited around 200 guests to his $20 million wedding celebration, which will feature a private jetty and marquee installations.

The festivities are expected to kick off on Thursday and end on Saturday, with a pyjama party at a secret location setting the tone for the weekend's events. Meanwhile, local authorities have been working overtime to ensure public order and safety during the lockdown period.

In the midst of all this glamour and glitz, controversy has been swirling around the wedding's impact on Venice's historic cityscape. Campaign group No Space For Bezos plans to disrupt the wedding by blocking canals and scattering inflatable crocodiles along the waterways to impede the hundreds of water taxis ferrying guests between venues.

As tensions rise, one thing is clear: Jeff Bezos' lavish wedding extravaganza is shaping up to be the most talked-about event of the year. Stay tuned for more updates from the scholarlynote.com!
