"Actor Orlando Bloom has been revealed as the true owner of a $15 million mansion in Montecito, CA, amidst a legal dispute involving his ex-fiancée Katy Perry and an elderly Army veteran. The ownership revelation came to light during recent courtroom testimony. Orlando Bloom purchased the Montecito estate through a limited liability company in May 2024, not Katy Perry. Perry's longtime business manager, Bernie Gudvi, confirmed Bloom's ownership of the property during cross-examination."
"The legal battle originated in 2020 when Perry attempted to purchase the mansion from the veteran, Carl Westcott, who later reneged on the deal. Despite Perry's possession of the home, it was Bloom who acquired it through an LLC, which became a point of contention in the ongoing legal proceedings. Katy Perry, amidst her international tour, is set to testify in court while her ex-partner, Orlando Bloom, has not been called to the stand despite requests from Westcott's legal team."
