The two appeared relaxed and coordinated as they headed into the celebrity-packed event, with social media users quickly pointing out how comfortable they looked together.

“she is literally half the age of him…” one person wrote. “Isn’t he like 50?” another added.

Bloom has remained a major Hollywood figure for more than two decades thanks to blockbuster franchises including Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, where he became internationally famous playing Will Turner and Legolas.

His personal life has also regularly made headlines.

Before his long-term relationship with Katy Perry, Bloom was married to model Miranda Kerr, with whom he shares a son, Flynn. His relationship with Perry became one of Hollywood’s most closely followed celebrity romances after they began dating in 2016, got engaged in 2019, and later welcomed daughter Daisy Dove.

Rumors of tension and possible distance between Bloom and Perry have circulated online periodically over the past year, though neither has publicly confirmed any breakup.

Meanwhile, Meredith Duxbury built her own fame in a completely different world.

The influencer rose to prominence on TikTok through viral beauty tutorials, luxury fashion content, and her now-famous foundation application technique, which generated millions of views and endless debate online.

Over the past few years, Duxbury has transformed herself from beauty creator into a major fashion-week and luxury-brand fixture, regularly appearing at events for high-end labels and celebrity gatherings.

The Met Gala after-party sighting wasn’t the first time dating rumors have surfaced around Bloom recently either.

In recent months, fans have speculated about his interactions with several younger influencers and models at industry events, though none of the rumors were ever confirmed.

As for Duxbury, she has largely kept her dating life private despite her massive online following.

Neither Bloom nor Duxbury has commented publicly on the nature of their relationship.

Still, given the internet’s obsession with unexpected celebrity pairings, one shared car ride into a Madonna-hosted after-party was apparently more than enough to get people talking.
