The 40-year-old actor recently called time on his almost year-long romance with musician Katy Perry, and sources say the Hollywood hunk is already starting to get back into the dating game as he's someone who "loves to flirt".

A source close to the actor told People magazine: "He loves to flirt, but he is single now. He likes to share his life, so expect to see him on a date soon."

The news comes just days after it was reported the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor was still in contact with Katy, 32, despite their split.

An insider claimed Orlando is "cool" with the 'Chained To The Rhythm' hitmaker, and said the pair "still text and talk" on a regular basis.

They added: "[Orlando] is just not ready for a serious relationship, but getting back together with Perry is not out of the question.

"He cares deeply for Perry and they have a very carefree dynamic with each other. They are both free spirits."

Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Orlando - who has son Flynn, six, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr - pulled the plug on his relationship with Katy as he didn't want things to get too serious.

A source claimed: "Katy and Orlando had a great time together.

"It was a great healing process for Orlando following his divorce from Miranda. But Katy and Orlando discovered they were on different pages.

"Katy wants children and to get married, while Orlando has been there and done that.

"At 32, Katy doesn't want to waste any more time. It became a strain."
