Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Have Officially Ended Engagement—Sources Reveal What Went Wrong
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have apparently ended their relationship after almost a decade together.
News of the longtime couple's split has been rumored for weeks, but was confirmed by Us Weekly, who spoke to an anonymous source that said "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 insider added the breakup has been "a long time coming" since things "have been tense for months" and they've been "living apart since Katy has been on tour." Meanwhile Katy is "keeping busy" and "is distracted."
Katy and Orlando got together back in 2016 when they were spotted flirting at the Golden Globes. They then broke up in 2017, with their reps issuing a joint statement to People saying "Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time." Around the same time, Katy tweeted this:
They were back together by early 2018, and Orlando popped the question on Valentine's Day 2018:
The couple went on to welcome their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020. In April of last year, Orlando opened up about their relationship during On Purpose With Jay Shetty, saying "I think I’m constantly learning to let go. Because anything that I try to hold onto, whether it’s good or bad, doesn’t serve me. Not in the relationship, and it doesn’t really serve either of us. And that’s really hard. To keep letting go and to keep letting her go."
He added, "I think when you are in a deeply loving, committed relationship, you want to control or own or have and, you know, even just letting go of ideas, how things should be, or the idea of what intimacy or intimate moments are to you versus them, or whatever it may be."
FYI, Katy and Orlando's last public appearance together was at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2025:
