It's a sad day for the Hollywood couple, pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom, as they have decided to split and go their separate ways after being together for nine years, with six of those years being spent engaged. TMZ and People were the first to report the news.
Perry and Bloom met briefly at a Globes after party in 2016, but haven't officially met and spoke to one another unltil later that night at an In 'N' Out Burger. The story goes that Bloom snitched of Perry's burgers. We can't blame the guy, as In 'N' Out does cook up a good burger that can't be beat. It led to romance as well, as Perry and Bloom began their relationship.
After three years, and a short break-up in 2017, the Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean actor proposed to the Grammy winner in 2019 in Los Angeles. He planned a private helicopter ride in Los Angeles, surprising his fiancée with a stunning ruby and diamond ring.
In 2020, Perry and Bloom welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, and devote much of their time to their little one. As of late, the nearly 5-year-old has been accompanying her famous mom on her Lifetimes tour in Australia, while her dad is in Venice, Italy, for the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. However, Sánchez's absence was noted by Perry, who considers Sánchez a friend. Last month, Perry was part of the bachorlette crew, as she and Sánchez partied in Paris.
Bloom was seen chatting with Kim and Khloé Kardashian in Italy, as the three are friends, due to their friendship with Perry.
The breakup was mutual, as Katy is busy promoting her music while on tour, and things between her and Bloom have been simmering down for a few months. While breakups are never easy, Perry expressed that she's in good spirits otherwise, utilizing her time as a single woman by keeping busy and focusing on her daughter. She and Bloom will agree to co-parenting so that Daisy can have both of her parents in her life.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were married before
Prior to their relationship, Perry was married to British comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012, with the divorce being initiated by Brand. Bloom, for his part, was married to the Australian supermodel and former Victoria's Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr, from 2010 to 2013. They co-parent a son, Flynn, who they welcomed in 2011.
As they head into this next life chapter, we wish nothing but the best for Perry and Bloom.
