Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split after nearly 10 years together.
The pair first got together in 2016, going Instagram official in May of that year when Katy, 40, shared a funny photo of herself and Orlando, 48, dressed in bathrobes. They dated for a little over a year before calling it quits in early 2017, however they later reconciled in 2018 and announced their engagement in 2019. Daughter Daisy Dove, now four, was born in August 2020.
“She seems to adopt a high fashion style of posing, with the accent on elegance rather than cheerfulness. Her very unsmiling facial expression and her cropped fringe make her look almost unrecognisable and it’s only when she pulls a goofy face at the end and sticks out her tongue to make the photographers laugh that we see a flash of the usual, upbeat Katy.”
Katy’s schedule has been jam-packed recently, with her currently on a world tour. Spending so much time away from her home in Montecito, California, has reportedly caused a ‘big disruption’ in her home life with Orlando, with a source claiming they have been ‘living separate lives’.
On Sunday, 22 June, Orlando was spotted in Australia with their four-year-old daughter while Katy was in Perth for two tour stops at the RAC Arena on June 22 and Monday, June 23. While the couple weren’t photographed together, it appeared Orlando and Daisy visited Katy.
Earlier this month a source told Page Six that the couple’s relationship was already “over” and they are waiting till her world tour ends in December to break-up publicly.
A source told PEOPLE that the pop singer’s latest album 143, which released in September, “caused some tension” in the pair’s relationship with Katy being “stressed” and “deeply frustrated” after the album’s reception.
Another source told Us Weekly: “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.”
The source also said the break up was ‘a long time coming’ and hinted that things between the pair ‘have been tense for months.
Orlando is expected to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding in Italy this week without Katy, who is on her tour.
The Mirror has contacted reps for Katy and Orlando for comment.
