Orlando Bloom revealed that the ongoing coronavirus outbreak may affect his and pregnant fiancee Katy Perry’s wedding date.
The 43-year-old movie star proposed on Valentine's Day 2019 and the A-List couple has been planning their wedding around their respective work obligations ever since. However, speaking with The Times U.K., Bloom admitted that their mysterious destination wedding may be hampered by the coronavirus pandemic.
“I'm not joking when I say that coronavirus might have a play in whether we put things on ice, because we're going to be traveling and we don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable," he explained.

Meanwhile, Bloom announced via Instagram that production on his Amazon series “Carnival Row,” which shoots in Prague, was among the myriad of TV shows that chose to shut down production to help combat the spread of the virus.
