Orlando Bloom Breaks Silence on Katy Perry Split: ‘Nothing but Love’

Orlando Bloom is reflecting on gratitude in the wake of his split from Katy Perry.

The 48-year-old actor gave rare comments about the former couple’s breakup during a conversation with Today’s Craig Melvin on Friday, Sept. 5, while promoting his new film, The Cut.

“There’s been some personal changes in your life since you were here the last time. How are you doing?” asked Melvin, 46.

“I’m great, man. I’m so grateful,” Bloom replied on the morning show, adding of their 5-year-old, Daisy, “We have the most beautiful daughter. You know when you leave everything on the field like I did in this movie? I feel grateful for all of it.”

“And we’re great. We’re going to be great. Nothing but love,” he concluded.

Reps for Perry, 40, and Bloom confirmed their split on July 3, after PEOPLE first learned on June 26 that they had ended their engagement. “Katy has every intention of maintaining a positive and respectful relationship with Orlando,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “He’s the father of their daughter and that will always come first for her.”

“They’ve been through a lot together and while they’ve decided to go their separate ways, there’s still a mutual respect between them,” the insider continued. “They’re still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together. For the sake of their daughter, they’re committed to keeping things amicable.”

While Friday marks Bloom’s first public comments directly addressing his split from Perry, the actor reposted inspiring quotes on his Instagram Stories on June 30, days after news broke of his breakup from the pop star.

Two days later, the Pirates of the Caribbean star reposted a carousel of musings from Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung, taken from the account @sapienkind. Among the posts was an exploration of the idea of “loneliness.” A second quote said that even a happy life needs to be balanced by “sadness.”

In his new thriller, The Cut, Bloom plays an ex-boxer who suffered a defeat that ended his champion career in the ring. Then, when he “trains for redemption,” a synopsis teases, an “obsession takes hold and reality unravels — and he may be spiraling into something far more terrifying.”

Bloom told PEOPLE last month that he was “excited by the challenge” of transforming himself for the role. “What I hadn’t expected and was surprised by was the mental toll that this kind of intense discipline takes,” he said. “The paranoia and anxiety were very real and disturbing, caused by the lack of sleep — turns out you can’t sleep when you’re hungry!”

The Lord of the Rings actor warned that the length to which he went to train for The Cut is “definitely not something to try at home.” As he explained, “I was supervised weekly and my blood work monitored by an expert nutritionist, Philip Goglia, who helped me lose 30 pounds in approximately three months.”

“Ultimately, this is a story about the struggles we all face and what it takes to battle our internal demons and find self-acceptance,” Bloom added.
