Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly set to split after almost a decade together, with the couple said to have already called off their engagement
Singer Katy Perry and British actor Orlando Bloom are reportedly on the verge of splitting up. The couple, who share 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, are said to have ended their engagement but are holding off announcing the sad news until Katy has concluded her world tour.
The Roar hitmaker, who was once married to Russell Brand, began dating the Pirates of the Caribbean in 2016 and the pair got engaged in 2019, the year before they welcomed their daughter into the world.
But after almost a decade together, it’s claimed the famous pair have decided to call it quits following a tough few months professionally for Katy.
The mum-of-one, 40, suffered humiliation when her latest studio album was panned by critics, and her recent trip to space also saw the I Kissed A Girl singer slammed by many.
An insider claims Katy’s album 143 flopping impacted her relationship, with the source noting: “Orlando was supportive, but it caused some tension.” PageSix reports that Katy and Orlando are waiting until her current tour, Lifetimes, concludes on December 7, before making their split public news.
“It’s over,” said the source. “They’re just waiting until the tour is done before they split.” The Mirror has contacted representatives for Katy and Orlando for comment on this story.
Despite rumours of a separation, Orlando was on hand to support Katy during her space venture in April. Katy kissed the ground and held a flower in the air as she returned from her Blue Origin trip to space and revealed she will write a song about the experience.
The 40-year-old sang Louis Armstrong’s What A Wonderful World as she and the six-woman crew, also made up of CBS Mornings presenter Gayle King, former rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, astronaut Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn and Jeff Bezos’s partner Lauren Sanchez, entered space.
A video of the crew was shared by Blue Origin on Twitter showing the six women as they reached zero gravity and were able to float around the spacecraft before looking at the camera and saying in unison, “taking up space”.
Katy is also seen holding a daisy which she later held to the air after emerging from Bezos’s New Shepard NS-31, to honour her daughter Daisy, before kissing the floor, and Bezos then congratulated her to which she replied: “Thank you.”
Speaking after her return to Earth, the Roar singer said: “I feel super connected to love, so connected to love. I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you, like how much love you have to give and how loved you are until the day you launch.”
Speaking about the tribute to her daughter, Katy explained: “Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through any condition, they go through cement, they go through cracks, they go through walls, they are resilient. They are powerful, they are strong, they are everywhere.
“Flowers are to me, god’s smile, but it’s also a reminder of our beautiful Earth and the flowers here, and god’s smile and the beautiful magic that is everywhere, all around us and even in a simple daisy. So to really appreciate it and remember it and take care of it, protect it.”
