Rumours had been rife with regards to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s looming split
After nearly a decade together, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have officially gone their separate ways. The split, confirmed by PEOPLE, brings an end to their six-year engagement and a relationship that has weathered both high-profile appearances and long stretches of speculation.
Rumors of a breakup had been circulating for months, though both Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, maintained a united front in public. In fact, during a Rolling Stone interview earlier this year, Katy praised the life they had built with their daughter, Daisy Dove. “I’m proud of my family life, my home life… and the foundation I have,” she had said.
Confirmed, But Unspoken
While neither party has publicly addressed the split, their current paths seem to underscore the distance. Perry is currently on the Australia leg of her Lifetimes tour, while Bloom was recently spotted in Venice attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish pre-wedding celebrations.
A Love Story Rewritten
Katy and Orlando’s relationship began in January 2016, but the couple took a brief break just over a year in. They reunited by early 2018, with Orlando proposing on Valentine’s Day 2019. Katy later gushed about the romantic helicopter proposal during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, calling it “very sweet” and “thoughtfully planned.”
In March 2020, Katy announced her first pregnancy, calling it “probably the longest secret” she’d ever kept. The couple welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove on August 27, 2020. Although a wedding was initially rumored for later that year, pandemic-related travel restrictions delayed those plans indefinitely.
Over the years, Perry had occasionally spoken about their postponed wedding and even referred to herself jokingly as Orlando’s “new wife.” She also drew attention for her warm relationship with Orlando’s ex-wife, Miranda Kerr. At a public event, Katy said, “Some of you might be confused about why I’m introducing Miranda… but we are here to lead by love.”
Cracks Beneath the Surface
Despite the outward harmony, signs of strain began to show earlier this year. According to Entertainment Tonight, growing pressures from Katy’s Lifetimes tour and public backlash over her space tourism involvement reportedly added tension to the relationship.
Now, in June 2025, the once-celebrated couple’s split has officially made headlines—leaving fans wondering: Was Orlando Bloom the one that got away?
