After nearly a decade of highs and lows, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have officially ended their relationship, marking a somber close to one of Hollywood’s most talked-about love stories. The couple, who first met at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016, had been engaged since 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, born in August 2020. Their breakup has now been publicly confirmed through a joint statement, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting with love and respect.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom call it quits, but say daughter Daisy remains their ‘top priority’
“Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,” their statement reads. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.”
The announcement follows weeks of subtle hints pointing to emotional turbulence. Just days earlier, Bloom took to Instagram Stories to share quotes from famed psychiatrist Carl Jung, expressing reflections on loneliness and sadness. “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate that seem important to oneself,” one of the quotes read. In another, Jung noted, “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness.”

According to sources close to the pair, the decision to part ways wasn’t sudden. It reportedly happened last month and was described as “not contentious.” An insider noted, “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.” The source further revealed that tensions had been brewing for months and their split was “a long time coming.”
Katy Perry, currently busy with her “Lifetimes” tour, appeared to be channeling her emotions through her performances. During a recent stop in Adelaide, Australia, the pop star appeared visibly emotional, telling the crowd, “Thank you for always being there for me Australia. It means the world,” before launching into her hit single “Firework.”
While Perry leaned on music to cope, Bloom was spotted living it up in Italy with friends Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. In contrast, Perry skipped the high-profile wedding celebrations but received a supportive shoutout from Sánchez on Instagram.
Insiders close to the former couple say the breakup stemmed from their inability to prioritize their relationship amid increasingly demanding lives. “Katy and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years,” a source told People. “Too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they don’t communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level.”
Adding to the drama, Bloom was reportedly seen flirting with women during a Miami trip as early as April, long before the official split was revealed. “Orlando was definitely with girls in Miami,” a source told Page Six, describing his behavior as “not subtly out and about” and “unapologetic.”
While love might not have been enough to keep them together, both Perry and Bloom appear fully aligned in one thing: doing right by their daughter. As one insider noted, “Sometimes love isn’t enough to keep two people with different styles and outlooks together. It can overshadow the love.”
