Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have publicly addressed their engagement split after months of speculation. While the musician and actor are no longer romantically linked, they will remain supportive of their young daughter, Daisy Dove, whom they welcomed in 2020. That way, the nearly five-year-old child would never be deprived of her parents' attention, as Perry and Bloom have agreed to co-parent amicably.
Bloom and Perry met in 2016, and the former proposed to the Grammy winner in 2019. After being engaged for six years, they went their separate ways. A wedding was initially planned for 2020 but has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and further delays have followed.
Various outlets reported the breakup during the week of June 22, when Perry and Bloom were noticeably absent from each other at the Bezos-Sánchez wedding in Venice. In her defense, the "I Kissed A Girl" singer was in Australia with Daisy for her Lifetimes Tour and was in good spirits. However, on the last tour stop while Down Under, Perry broke down in tears in front of the crowd. Her emotional reaction was a blend of the split and wrapping up the Australian portion of her tour.
In a tour video uploaded to X (formerly Twitter), a tearful Perry made the heart hands gesture and poured her soul out in gratitude to the fans.
"Thank you for always being there for me, Australia! It means the world!"
During the wedding's festivities, Bloom was spotted conversing with the Kardashian family, as the actor is friends with the sisters and it was a platonic meet-up.
What Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have said about their breakup
In a press statement obtained by Kardashian Dish, the representatives of Bloom and Perry reflected on their breakup, stating that they would raise their daughter in the best possible way. It's going to be a difficult transition, but the former A-list couple will remain as friends and as a family.
"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. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter Daisy Dove with love, stability, and mutual respect."
Perry will participate in the North American leg of her Lifetimes Tour, with the first city being Denver, Colorado, on July 10. Bloom will attend the Chicago Fan Expo 2025 from August 15 to 17, where he'll meet his fans, participate in panels, and be a part of the convention circuit.
