Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s once-blooming romance is said to have waned. In recent months, there have been many rumours that the long-term couple was having problems. Now, insiders tell Us Weekly that the fiancés are officially ex-partners. On June 25, Us Weekly was informed by an unnamed source that “Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable.” “It isn’t controversial right now.” The news of the breakup has also been confirmed by others.
While the former couple is apparently not on bad terms, the source detailed how the split did not come as a surprise, claiming it was “a long time coming” as Perry and Bloom “have been tense for months.” Allegedly, Perry’s Lifetimes Tour, which kicked off on April 23, was a particular source of strife.
“[They] have been living apart since Katy has been on tour,” Us Weekly’s source said. “Katy has been very busy working, and they are apart often,” a second source added. “That has caused tension.”
Apparently, Bloom had grown tired of waiting to get married after he and Perry had been engaged for six years. “[They] never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything and Orlando is ‘over it,’” a source said.
There was another major event that has also been at the center of the split rumors. Perry and Bloom reportedly had a big fight over his decision to attend the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. “Katy feels like they’re really her friends more than his, and yet he’s the one going to the wedding,” a source told The Daily Mail on June 20. “He’s insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he’s not particular close to either of them. She feels like it’s a ‘f*ck you’ to her from him.”
Following that, TMZ stated that Bloom was thrilled to attend the glitzy Italian wedding and make his “debut as a single man”. As it turned out, Bloom travelled alone to Venice for the wedding on June 26 while Perry was on tour in Australia.
In 2016, Perry and Bloom started dating. After a year-long breakup in 2017 and 2018, they returned stronger than ever, becoming engaged in 2019 and having their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020.
