After nearly a decade together, pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have officially announced the end of their engagement. The couple, who share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, emphasized their mutual commitment to co-parenting and maintaining a supportive family environment.
In a joint statement released through their representatives, Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, expressed that they have been “shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting.” They assured the public that they will continue to be seen together as a family, with their shared priority being the well-being of their daughter.
Perry and Bloom’s relationship began in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty. They experienced a brief split in 2017 but rekindled their romance the following year. Bloom proposed on Valentine’s Day in 2019, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Daisy, in August 2020.
Despite their engagement, the couple never set a wedding date. Plans were initially postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were never rescheduled. Sources close to the couple indicated that the lack of concrete wedding plans contributed to underlying tensions in the relationship.
In recent months, speculation about the couple’s relationship status intensified. Perry has been on her “Lifetimes Tour” since April, which is scheduled to continue through December. During a performance in Australia, she became visibly emotional, thanking fans for their support—a moment many interpreted as a subtle acknowledgment of personal challenges.
Bloom, meanwhile, attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s high-profile wedding in Venice alone, further fueling rumors of a split. He also shared introspective quotes on social media, including reflections on loneliness and new beginnings, suggesting a period of personal reflection.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, both Perry and Bloom have emphasized their dedication to co-parenting Daisy. They plan to maintain their residence in Montecito, California, to provide stability for their daughter. A source close to the couple stated, “They are still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together. It’s not messy between them.”
Perry is reportedly adjusting to life as a single mother while continuing her tour. An insider noted, “She never saw herself being a single mom. She’s felt a lot of pressure about her tour and now this. It’s been a lot for her. She’s still doing great though.”
Bloom, who also shares a 14-year-old son, Flynn, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr, has been described as a caring and involved father. He recently spent time with Daisy in Australia before attending the Bezos-Sánchez wedding.
While the romantic chapter of Perry and Bloom’s relationship has concluded, their focus remains on providing a loving and stable environment for their daughter. Their amicable separation and commitment to co-parenting reflect a shared dedication to family above all else.
