Singer Katy Perry has been seen without her engagement ring and made a very cryptic onstage remark to fans in Melbourne amid rumours about trouble with fiancé Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry has sparked fresh speculation her engagement to Orlando Bloom is over after stepping out without her signature ruby engagement ring. Instead, the 40-year-old singer wore a simple silver band while partying at Melbourne’s Poof Doof nightclub, where she bought drinks for the crowd in a surprise appearance.
The lavish ring – a ruby surrounded by diamonds in a floral design – was first revealed in 2019 when Bloom proposed on Valentine’s Day. At the time, Katy shared their engagement on Instagram with a photo of the two under a canopy of red balloons, captioned: “Full bloom.”
But over the weekend, the iconic sparkler was noticeably absent. After wrapping up her fourth and final Melbourne show on her Lifetimes Tour, Katy hit the club to celebrate with fans, particularly her LGBTQIA+ supporters.
The outing comes amid growing whispers of tension between Katy and Orlando, who share daughter Daisy Dove, 4. Onstage, the singer reportedly made a cryptic comment that only intensified the rumours as she spoke about singing a ‘breakup song’ to her fans.
Last week, it was reported that the American singer and the British actor had “quietly ended their engagement” but are apparently planning to wait until Katy’s tour concludes at the end of this year.
Neither Katy, nor Orlando, 48, has yet to confirm or deny the rumours but those close to the on-off couple have hinted the split is more of “a rough patch” and the two stars are in a battle to fix their relationship before it’s too late.
Katy, previously married to British comedian Russell Brand, and the Pirates of the Caribbean actor began their love story back in 2016. Their romantic journey peaked with an engagement three years later, just ahead of Daisy’s arrival in 2020.
The pair did split briefly at the start of their relationship before finding their way back to one another and reuniting for good. However, it seems their nearly ten-year liaison is reportedly on the ropes due to recent professional struggles for Katy.
“There aren’t many people she can dump her emotions on, but obviously she can with Orlando. But with his work and juggling parenting, life as of late has put a strain on their relationship,” a source has said amid the speculation.
It’s been a tough time professionally for Katy of late, with the award-winning singer facing embarrassment after critics lambasted her latest album, and her space adventure invited further criticism, leaving the ‘I Kissed A Girl’ singer under intense scrutiny and putting a strain on her relationship.
But all is not lost, with the insider added that Katy and Orlando are going through a rough patch “but it’s not at the point of no return.” They told the DailyMail: “They know they must fix things, and they both want to figure it out. They haven’t been able to sit down and work on some of their issues. A breakup isn’t imminent, but they both know that they should focus on their relationship before it does become too late.”
Other sources allege that the lacklustre performance of Katy’s album titled ‘143’ put a strain on their bond, as Orlando tried to be supportive. PageSix suggests the couple are biding time until the conclusion of Katy’s ‘Lifetimes’ tour on December 7 before going public with their separation.
“It’s over,” confided the insider. “They’re just waiting until the tour is done before they split.” The Mirror has previously approached Katy and Orlando’s representatives for a comment regarding these claims.
Katy, 40, is currently performing the Australian leg of her Lifetimes Tour, playing a series of shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Sydney.
