Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have confirmed the end of their romance after nearly a decade together.
In a joint statement through their reps, the pop star, 40, and the actor, 48, revealed they will continue to co-parent their four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, “with love.”
“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 coparenting,” Perry and Bloom’s spokespeople told Us Weekly on Thursday, July 3.
“They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
Their statement comes just one week after a source claimed that the “Last Friday Night” hitmaker and the “The Lord of the Rings” star had split, but were “amicable.”
Rumors had been swirling that the longtime pair had been on the outs for a while, with an insider telling Us Weekly their breakup was “a long time coming” and noting things between them had “been tense for months.”
While Perry “is of course upset,” the source shared that she was “relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”
Before her engagement to Bloom, the “Roar” singer was married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.
Last month, insiders told Page Six that they were “waiting till her tour is over” to announce their breakup. Perry has been on tour since April 23 and isn’t scheduled to wrap until December.
Others claimed their relationship started unraveling after Perry released her poorly-received “143” album in September.
“Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,” a source told People in June. “It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.”
Additional sources pointed out that the “Fireworks” songstress and Bloom hadn’t set a wedding date despite him popping the question six years ago.
“[Perry and Bloom] never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything and Orlando is over it,” a source shared.
The “Deep Cover” actor added fuel to the breakup rumors when he showed up at Jeff Bezos’ $50 million star-studded wedding to Lauren Sánchez without Perry last week. He later shared a cryptic post about “a new beginning.”
The singer also hinted at a split, getting emotional onstage when she wrapped up the Australian leg of her Lifetimes tour this week.
“Thank you for always being there for me, Australia,” Perry said in a fan video shared via X. “It means the world.”
The duo first began dating in 2016. While they briefly broke up in March 2017, they were back together by February 2018.
Perry and Bloom got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019. They revealed they were expecting their first child in March 2020, with the singer giving birth to Daisy months later, on August 26.
Before his relationship with the pop singer, Bloom was married to Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr from 2010 until their divorce in 2013.
The actor and Kerr share one child, son Flynn, 13.
Perry spoke about their past relationship issues, telling Alex Cooper what broke them up years ago.
“We weren’t really in it from day one,” Perry admitted during her 2024 appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “He was in a way because he had just done a time of celibacy and he had set intentions.”
“I was fresh out of a relationship,” she added, “and I was just like, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond.’”
