Watch: Orlando Bloom Reacts to Sweet Support From Katy Perry After Breakup

No regrets, just love between Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.

The former couple, who recently split after nine years together, proved that they're on good terms following their breakup after the "Teenage Dream" singer shared the trailer for the Pirates of the Caribbean star's new film, The Cut.

Katy captioned her Sept. 7 Instagram post, "proud of you @orlandobloom."

And it was clear that Orlando appreciated the support from his ex—with whom he shares daughter Daisy Dove, 5—commenting a heart emoji under the footage she posted from his movie.

The show of solidarity between the coparents comes after Orlando broke his silence on their breakup.

"I’m great,” he told Craig Melvin on the Sept. 5 episode of Today. “I’m so grateful. We’ve got a beautiful daughter. You know when you leave everything on the field like I did in this movie, I feel grateful for all of it."

The 48-year-old—who is also dad to son Flynn, 14, with ex Miranda Kerr—reiterated that his relationship with Katy, 40, is still "great" despite them no longer being a couple.

"We’re gonna be great,” he added. "It’s nothing but love."

While the "Dark House" hitmaker has yet to directly comment on the split, the former couple's shared rep did release a statement on their behalf confirming their breakup earlier this summer.

"Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” the rep said in a statement to E! News in July. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”

Indeed, their mutual commitment to Daisy should come as no surprise, as the pair has always expressed that their daughter was their number one priority.

“We want to evolve,” Katy explained on Call Her Daddy last year. “That’s I think why we’re in our relationship is to become better humans so we can raise this beautiful human being.”
