After months of speculation, it’s official: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have ended their long-term relationship. Representatives for the couple confirmed the news on Friday, July 4, explaining that the two stars have been gradually transitioning their relationship into a co-parenting partnership.
According to a statement originally shared by The Independent (independent.co.uk), the former couple’s main focus is now their daughter, Daisy Dove.
Over the past several months, Orlando and Katy have been gradually transitioning their relationship to focus on co-parenting. They plan to remain present in each other’s lives as a family, with their top priority continuing to be raising their daughter in an environment filled with love, stability, and mutual respect.
A Look Back at Their Love Story
Perry and Bloom’s romance began back in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty. Over the years, their relationship has seen both high-profile moments and personal challenges. They briefly separated in 2017 before getting back together, with Bloom proposing on Valentine’s Day in 2019. In 2020, they welcomed their daughter, Daisy.
Bloom, 48, also has a teenage son named Flynn from his previous marriage to model Miranda Kerr. Meanwhile, Perry, 40, has remained a pop culture icon with her music, tours, and TV appearances.
Quiet Hints and Emotional Moments
Although neither Perry nor Bloom has addressed the breakup directly in public, there have been a few telling signs. On July 3, Bloom posted an introspective quote from Carl Jung to his Instagram Stories that touched on feelings of loneliness and communication. He followed it with another message about choosing who we become, hinting at a time of personal reflection.
Around the same time, Perry wrapped up the Australian leg of her tour with an emotional performance in Adelaide on June 30. Fans noticed she was teary-eyed as she formed a heart with her hands and thanked the crowd before singing her hit song Firework.
“Thank you for always being there for me, Australia. It means the world,” she said to the audience.
Moving Forward Separately, But Together as Parents
The news of their breakup comes on the heels of increased scrutiny around Perry’s tour performances and her participation in a short space flight with Blue Origin in April. Meanwhile, Bloom was recently spotted in Italy attending the lavish wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.
