Katy Perry has been soldiering on with her world tour in the wake of her split from partner Orlando Bloom and was visibly emotional as she thanked fans for their support
A visibly moved Katy Perry struggled to hold back tears on stage as she expressed gratitude to her fans, in the wake of her split from Orlando Bloom.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, has been sharing cryptic posts on Instagram since their relationship reportedly ended, as fans of the I Kissed A Girl singer fear history is repeating itself.
Despite the emotional turmoil of her ongoing separation from Orlando, Katy – who shares daughter Daisy Dove, four, with the British actor, has been soldiering on with her world tour – just like she did when her marriage to English comic Russell Brand came to an end.
Katy and the former Big Brother’s Big Mouth presenter tied the knot in October, but it was all over by December 2011, with Brand later admitting that although he “loved [Katy] so much,” he ultimately couldn’t see their relationship working out.
It later transpired that Katy received a text from her former husband telling her that he was filing for divorce just moments before she went on stage. The heartbreaking moment the mum-of-one had to fight back the tears and plaster on a smile was caught on camera for her documentary ‘Katy Perry: Part of Me’.
Discussing her marriage split the following year, Katy told Vogue magazine: “I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011. “
Sadly, it looks like Katy has found herself in a similar situation as she navigates heartbreak whilst on the road once again. News broke last week that Katy and Orlando had called it quits after a nine-year romance after weeks of rumours and speculation.
While Orlando jetted off to attend Jeff Bezos’ wedding in Italy, Katy has stayed committed to her tour. She was seen getting teary-eyed as she wrapped up her final show in Australia.
Making a heart with her fingers, the Roar hitmaker’s voice started to crack as she fought back tears to tell the crowd: “Thank you Australia for always being there for me. “
Katy and Orlando have ridden a rollercoaster of a relationship since their initial spark in 2016. Their romance became Insta-official in May 2016 with Katy posting a quirky snap of the pair donning robes at the ritzy Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc during the Cannes Festival in France.
After romancing for just over a year, they hit a pause in early 2017 but mended fences by 2018 and were engaged by Valentine’s Day 2019, moving in together within the same year. The engagement ring features a ruby flanked by eight white diamonds arranged to resemble a flower.
Katy flaunted the shimmering engagement ring in a Valentine’s Day Instagram post confirming Orlando’s proposal, as reported by The Daily Mail. Progressing in their journey, they were overjoyed by the arrival of their daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020.
Spotted for the last time in public at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party this past March, warning signs appeared that the couple was not their usual exuberant selves, with newly surfaced photos capturing a sorrowful hint from Katy, who appeared ‘practically indistinguishable.
On Sunday, June 22, Orlando was seen in Australia with their four year old daughter while Katy had back-to-back shows at the RAC Arena on June 22 and Monday, June 23. Although the pair weren’t snapped together, it seemed Orlando and Daisy might have popped over to see Katy.
Earlier in the month, an informant whispered to Page Six that the couple’s romance was essentially “over” and they were biding time until her world tour wraps up in December to announce their split. Another source confided to PEOPLE that Katy’s latest album ‘143’, which dropped in September, “caused some tension” between them, with Katy feeling “stressed” and “deeply frustrated” by the lukewarm response to her musical offering.
A source opened up to Us Weekly, revealing that “Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life. ” They labelled the supposed break up ‘a long time coming’, and purported their rapport ‘has been tense for months. ‘.
The Mirror has previously reached out to representatives for Katy and Orlando for comment.
