US celebrity couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split after being together for nearly a decade.
The news of their separation comes after Bloom was spotted attending the high-profile wedding celebrations of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice as a 'single man'.
According to "TMZ', Bloom is reportedly embracing his newly single life following his rumoured split from the 'Roar' hit-maker, while the singer is on her "LifeTimes Tour" in Australia and will not attend the star-studded wedding.
The separation rumours have been making the rounds on the internet for the past few weeks after Perry was spotted without her diamond engagement ring while on tour.

The 40-year-old was also spotted without the ring in her latest Instagram post.
To add fuel to the fire, while performing, the singer made a cryptic comment about a break-up onstage, which sparked curiosity amongst fans about her relationship.
In the middle of her performance of her 2008 heartbreak anthem 'I'm Still Breathing', Perry was handed a packet of chocolate biscuits.
She said, 'This song is about a break-up, and this Tim Tam saved me.'
That left fans speculating if she is referring to her and Bloom, hinting that they have now gone their separate ways.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean" actor and 'I'm His, He's Mine' singer first sparked dating rumours in 2016 at the Golden Globes after-party.
In the same year, the pair publicly confirmed their relationship after Perry posted a picture of Bloom on Instagram.
However, the couple separated a year later but went on to patch things up in 2018.
In 2019, the pair announced that they were engaged after Perry debuted her flower-shaped cluster with a deep red centre stone engagement ring on Instagram.
The singer debuted her baby bump in a music video in 2020 and welcomed her first child with Bloom, Daisy Dove Bloom.
They have since made multiple public appearances together, and in 2022, rumours of the two planning their wedding started swirling around; however, they have not yet tied the knot.
Despite the break-up news making the rounds on the internet, the pair have not yet confirmed or denied the rumours.

Tristan Tate defends Dricus against 'racist' comments
Tristan Tate – the brother of Andrew Tate – has defended Dricus du Plessis against critics who labelled him a 'racist'. Like the former UFC Middleweight World Champion, Tristan is known for his outspoken views on farm killings, 'white genocide,' and his endorsement of US President Donald Trump. Tristan, like Andrew, is also a former professional kickboxer. On his X account, Tristan Tate defended Dricus du Plessis against his critics. Tagging the former UFC Middleweight World Champion, Tristan posted: 'The hate @dricusduplessis is getting from people is totally unjustified.' He added, 'Chin up, champ, ignore the noise'. Tristan previously defended Dricus after fellow UFC fighter Israel 'Izzy' Adesanya claimed that the South African was 'not African'. He posted: 'Saying @dricusduplessis isn't African because he's white is super racist. 'He's African and so is Elon, do none of you know basic history?'. On X, many South Africans have accused Dricus of being a 'racist' after he publicly praised US President Donald Trump, who accused South Africa of promoting a 'white genocide'. Earlier this year, the 31-year-old said of the newly re-elected statesman: 'He is amazing, and I've had the privilege of meeting him. 'He said good changes are coming. He's holding many people and countries accountable for everything, and it's amazing to see'. Dricus also gave a 'big shout out to fellow South African Elon Musk for also doing the right thing.' Dricus du Plessis has praised Donald Trump and Elon Musk for speaking out about South Africa. Images via Instagram: @ufc Dricus – who has been vocal about farm killings – also infamously criticised South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Speaking to US interviewer Nina Drama ahead of his UFC title fight last year, the Pretoria MMA fighter accused the government of 'screwing up' the country. He said: 'It's the worst government in the world by a long shot. We are truly and exceptionally s**t…it's the most corrupt in the world.' He continued: 'Our country is beautiful, the people are amazing…..There are a lot of great people doing great work. But I have to say, the government is terrible. Do I admit the tenacity with which they screw up? It's astonishing'. Of President Cyril Ramaphosa, he added: 'He takes all the money.'
