Another one bites the dust.
In some heartbreaking news, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly called time on their nearly ten-year relationship. According to sources close to the couple, the pair—long regarded as one of Hollywood’s most enduring unions—have parted ways amicably, though the split comes after months of mounting tension.
“It’s not contentious at the moment,” one insider told Us Weekly. “Katy is, of course, upset but is relieved to not be facing another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”
Perry, 40, currently in the midst of her Lifetimes tour, has reportedly found solace in work, staying distracted and on the move, while Bloom, 48, ever the dutiful father, was recently spotted at her Perth concert with their daughter, Daisy Dove. Another source told Page Six that the two are holding out to announce the news. “It’s over,” they shared. “They are waiting ’til her tour is over before they split.”
The couple’s plans to make their Westcott estate in Montecito a family base have since dissolved, with Perry now said to be renting it out, while the pair continue to live separately.
While whispers of a rift have circulated for weeks—particularly surrounding the aftermath of Perry’s latest album flopping—few believed the split would actually materialise.
“Katy was deeply frustrated… It made her very stressed, ” another source told People, noting that while Bloom was supportive, the strain was palpable. “Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.”
Elsewhere, an insider explained to The Daily Mail that Perry’s controversial Blue Origin space mission deepened the rift between the fighting couple.
“He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,” they told the outlet. “He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing. This was in the middle of a fight, and it hurt her feelings… She hoped he’d be more supportive.”
Perry and Bloom first met at a Golden Globes after-party in 2016, where the two left together and reportedly bonded while grabbing takeout.
The duo briefly broke up before getting back together, and on Valentine’s Day in 2019, Bloom proposed to the singer. They reached another major milestone when they welcomed their first child, Daisy Dove, in 2020. Until recently, the duo had long appeared loved-up on socials and red carpet appearances.
