Hollywood power couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, who’d been sparking speculation about their yearslong romance in recent weeks, has broken up.
Representatives for Perry and Bloom, who have been engaged for six years, confirmed their separation in a statement to USA TODAY on July 3.
“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 co-parenting,” the statement 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 statement from their representatives continued.
Us Weekly was first to report.
The announcement comes after previous reports and media speculation that Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, who share 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, had ended their nine-year relationship. People and Us Weekly reported in June that the couple had allegedly ended their engagement.
Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016, briefly split in 2017 and got engaged in February 2019. They welcomed daughter Daisy in 2020.
Bloom raised eyebrows in late June when he attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Italy alone. The “Lord of the Rings” alum, donning a crisp white button-down and khaki slacks, flashed a peace sign to onlookers as he left the Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice via boat.
Perry had a slate of four Lifetimes Tour concerts in Adelaide, Australia, during Bezos and Sánchez’s wedding weekend. After the celebrity nuptials wrapped, Bloom posted some inspirational quotes on his Instagram Story on June 30.

As she kicks off her Lifetimes Tour, Katy Perry dished on the snacks she eats before going on stage and the necessity of meditating as a mother.
In the first slide, Bloom re-posted a translated quote from the Buddha that read, “Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.”
In a follow-up post, Bloom typed up a “daily encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda,” a prominent Japanese religious figure and Buddhist: “The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.”
