Fact Check: Does Katy Perry have a son? Viral photo of singer with grown man debunked

Recently, a photo surfaced on X showing Katy Perry with a young man, sparking speculation among fans that the grown man was her son. The photo came with a caption that read:

"Why did no one tell me about katy perry's son!"

This led to various reactions from netizens. Some played along with the rumor, while others refuted the claim. Fans wrote:

"Wow Katy Perry’s son looks very attractive! I wonder if he does modeling !?!"

"Wait... i didn't even know she had a son?? and it's a grown man," another X user wrote.

"SHE HAS A GROWN A** SON??!?!" another tweet read.

Another set of fans went on to clarify that it wasn't her son. One fan wrote:

"That’s not her son y’all fall for anything."

"Fr her kid is like five or something," another fan added.

However, it is important to note that this rumor is fake. Katy Perry has one daughter named Daisy Dove with her partner Orlando Bloom. Additionally, he has a 13-year-old son, Flynn Copeland, whom he shares with his former partner Miranda Kerr.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's blended family explored, amid the rumor of Perry having a grown-up son

39-year-old singer Katy Perry got engaged to her partner Orlando Bloom back in 2019. According to PEOPLE, the couple first met back in 2016. While the COVID-19 pandemic made them postpone their original wedding plans, they began living together. In August 2020, they welcomed their first daughter together, Daisy Dove Bloom.

In a March interview with PEOPLE, Orlando Bloom shared his experience of being a father and revealed that he loved spending every possible moment with the kids. In the interview, the 47-year-old actor said:

"Family time is, for me, a meal together. Sitting down at a table. It is going out on a walk or going on an adventure. It’s games, it’s play. It’s connection. It’s holding hands and hugging. And telling people you love them a lot."

Along with Daisy, Bloom has a teenage son named Flynn from his previous marriage to Miranda Kerr. It was 2016 when Bloom first introduced Perry to his son when he was only 5 years old. As of Flynn, he was born in 2011. During an appearance on ITV's Good Morning, the actor revealed that his son was very fond of his work.

While Perry has a 13-year-old stepson, the man in the viral photo is clearly not him.
