When Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom announced their breakup after nearly ten years together, the internet had a lot to say. But one unexpected twist came from fans of BLACKPINK’s Rosé, who playfully revived a funny online joke called the “Rosé Curse.” According to this lighthearted theory, any celebrity couple who takes a photo with Rosé is destined to break up soon after. While it’s all in good fun, the joke has gained so much attention that even Rosé herself has responded to it.
The “Rosé Curse” meme started as an inside joke among BLACKPINK fans, known as BLINKs. They noticed that several famous couples who had been photographed with Rosé ended up splitting not long after. Though it’s clearly just a coincidence, fans couldn’t resist connecting the dots when Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom became the latest couple to part ways. The two had been engaged since 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, but recent reports confirmed their relationship had ended. As soon as the news broke, social media lit up with jokes about Rosé being the reason behind their breakup.
This isn’t the first time the “Rosé Curse” has made headlines. Over the past few years, fans have pointed out multiple celebrity couples who broke up after being seen with the BLACKPINK star. One of the most talked-about examples is Taylor Swift and her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. After Rosé was photographed with Swift, rumors of their breakup began circulating. Similarly, model Gigi Hadid and singer Zayn Malik, who had also been seen with Rosé, eventually went their separate ways. Another famous case involves actress Florence Pugh and Zach Braff, whose split came after they were spotted with the K-pop star. Even Kendall Jenner and NBA player Devin Booker reportedly ended their relationship shortly after Kendall took a picture with Rosé in late 2022.
One of the funniest moments tied to this joke was when internet personality Bella Poarch revealed she had filed for divorce from her husband in 2022. Fans quickly remembered that she had taken a photo with Rosé the year before, leading to even more jokes about the so-called curse. While none of these breakups have anything to do with Rosé, the timing has been enough to keep the meme alive.
BLINKs have made it clear that the “Rosé Curse” is just a silly internet trend and not meant to be taken seriously. Still, the joke has become so popular that Rosé herself finally addressed it. She didn’t seem too thrilled about being labeled as bad luck for couples, but she took it in stride, knowing her fans were just having fun.
Despite the playful rumors, Rosé remains one of the most beloved members of BLACKPINK. Known for her incredible singing, stylish fashion sense, and charming personality, she continues to win over fans worldwide. The “Rosé Curse” might be a running joke, but it hasn’t affected her popularity. If anything, it shows how much people love talking about her—even in the most unexpected ways.
As for Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, their split appears to be due to personal reasons, not because of any curse. Relationships in the spotlight often face challenges, and sometimes things just don’t work out. But thanks to the creativity of fans, even a celebrity breakup can turn into an entertaining online trend.
The “Rosé Curse” is a perfect example of how the internet loves to find patterns and create stories, even when they’re not real. It’s all part of the fun of being a fan, where inside jokes and memes bring people together. Whether or not more couples end up on the “cursed” list, one thing is certain—BLACKPINK’s Rosé will keep shining, both on and off the stage.
In the end, the joke is harmless, and it’s a reminder not to take everything on the internet too seriously. Celebrities break up for many reasons, but a K-pop star’s photo definitely isn’t one of them. Still, as long as fans keep laughing and sharing memes, the “Rosé Curse” will likely stick around as one of the internet’s most amusing theories.
While some might find the idea of a curse silly, others enjoy the playful mystery behind it. After all, who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory—especially one that involves their favorite artists? Whether it’s fate, coincidence, or just bad timing, the “Rosé Curse” has become a quirky part of pop culture that keeps fans entertained.
As BLACKPINK continues to dominate the music scene, Rosé’s legacy grows—not just as a talented singer, but also as the unintentional star of an internet legend. And who knows? Maybe one day, a celebrity couple will defy the “curse” and stay together after meeting her. Until then, the jokes and memes will keep coming, proving once again that the internet never runs out of creativity.
