Katy Perry reportedly told close friends earlier this year that her relationship with Orlando Bloom had ended due to strain.
Katy Perry reportedly told close friends that her long-term relationship with fiancé Orlando Bloom was nearing its end back in January – after months of quiet struggle and emotional distance.
The singer, 40, first opened up in January, privately admitting that things had broken out with Bloom, 48.
The insider said that Katie confided in her friends at the beginning of the year that their relationship was flawless. They made the decision to avoid making any announcements until things improved between them because they are determined to keep things together for the sake of their daughter.
The couple, who got engaged three years later and started dating in 2016, have a four-year-old daughter named Daisy. However, their bond reportedly strained due to their demanding work schedules and physical distance despite their efforts to keep the family together.
With Perry currently in Australia on her Lifetimes Tour and Bloom filming his new project Bucking Fastard in Dublin, their time together has been minimal this year.
She was aware that the singer was emotionally preparing for the end by removing her engagement ring, the source told The Sun. “This year has been difficult so far,” she said. Although Katy has grown weary of the situation, they decided to wait until the tour is over before declaring their split.
Katy will stay in Australia while Bloom is scheduled to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Italian wedding this week alone. She may have subtly reacted to her emotional state while performing her 2008 song I’m Still Breathing on stage in Sydney earlier this month. She received a pack of Tim Tams from a fan, who said, “This song is about a breakup, and this Tim Tam saved me.” “Thank you.”
The couple recently made an appearance in public at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in March, but they notably did not post any tributes to one another on Valentine’s Day, the anniversary of their engagement.
For Perry, this isn’t the first high-profile romance to hit turbulence. She was previously married to British comedian Russell Brand, whom she wed in a lavish ceremony in India in 2010.
14 months later, the marriage came to an end. Perry later described the famous divorce filing as devastating via text message. Their separation was finalized in 2012, with Perry citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Bloom and his ex-wife Miranda Kerr, a supermodel, and son Flynn, 14, are parents of a son from a previous marriage.
The source directly refuted rumors that Bloom’s relationship with her ended as a result of her Space Flight with Blue Origin. They remarked, “That’s nonsense.” Their relationship has been strained for a while, according to the truth. If nothing else, going to space was a welcome change from what was happening.
