Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom split six years after getting engaged

Representatives of both Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have announced the couple have ended their relationship after weeks of speculation. Widespread rumours have suggested that the couple split after nine years together, and an official statement shared on Friday confirmed the news. "Representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting," it read.

“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.”

The pair began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty and welcomed a child together in 2020 named Daisy Dove. Bloom also has a 13-year-old son, Flynn, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.

They had previously split for about a year in 2017, and announced they were taking “respectful but loving space”, with Bloom later proposing in 2019 after they rekindled their bond. Neither Bloom, 48, or Perry, 40, have directly addressed the breakup directly but have hinted that they are no longer a couple.
