EXCLUSIVE Katy Perry looks downcast as she emerges amid shock claims of 'tension' in Orlando Bloom relationship
Katy Perry was spotted out in Sydney, Australia, while her fiancé Orlando Bloom was on the other side of the world in New York City amid shock new claims of 'tension' in their relationship.
In exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com, the 40-year-old singer was seen visiting Luna Park with her four-year-old daughter Daisy, whom she shares with her 48-year-old fiancé.
Katy was dressed in a bear onesie with round, floppy ears, which she paired with gray-and-orange trainers.
Despite her kooky attire, she appeared downcast and sombre amid the fresh rumors of strain with the Pirates Of The Caribbean star.
The California Gurls singer — who album 143 was hit with a wave of negative reviews — also wore a black Balenciaga hip back slung across her upper body, and she covered up with a baseball cap and black sunglasses.
Daisy complemented her mother's costume with a mini version of the same look, though she covered up with an additional fuzzy brown coat.
While Katy looked less-than-enthused to be spending time at the amusement park, Orlando seemed to be having a blast at the Tribeca Festival in New York City.

Orlando, who wore a slim black sweater and gray tonal pinstripe trousers, made humorous kissing faces at the miniature pooch as he posed on the red carpet.
The couple's sightings on different continents come amid a new report alleging that Katy's poorly performing album caused 'tension' in her relationship with fiancé Orlando Bloom.
The singer's, 40, seventh studio album, 143, was released in September 2024, and received a largely negative response from fans as well as critics, who claimed the record sounds 'generated through AI.'
'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. It made her very stressed,' a source told People on Monday.
'Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,' the insider added of the Lord of The Rings star, 48, who shares daughter Daisy Dove, four, with the singer.
Another source shared, 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.'
Perry — who recently 'accused' a bewildered fan of sending private messages to Bloom — is currently on her Lifetimes world tour.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Perry and Bloom for comment.

Perry and Bloom first met in January 2016. They had a brief breakup in 2017, but later reconciled by March 2018.
The pair got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019 and welcomed their daughter in August 2020.
Bloom also has a 13-year-old son named Flynn with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, 42.
143 - which references the expression 'I love you', but is also what Perry considers to be her symbolic 'angel number' - is her first album in four years, following Smile in 2020.
Much of the criticism even before the album was released was down to Perry's decision to work with her old music producer Dr. Luke who settled his longstanding sexual harassment lawsuit with Kesha last year - which he vehemently denied.
Perry is next set to bring her tour to the US, kicking off in Denver on July 10.
In May, Perry left one of her fans speechless as she performed in front of a full-house at T-Mobile Arena in Paradise Valley.
She halted her show in Nevada to single out one of her bewildered fans.

Dressed in a leotard and fishnet tights, Perry crouched on her haunches as she searched for her target in the audience before accusing him of repeatedly sending private messages to her fiancé, Orlando.
Looking down at the stunned fan - referred to as Kyle - she warned: 'I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency. You didn't come to see me play.'
As the crowd roared their approval, she continued: 'If you keep on DM-ing my man I'm going to have you removed - seriously, get your own life.'
Raising her voice, she added: 'He don't want you, Kyle. I'm his wife. I'm his, he's mine... stay the f**k away.'
Standing close to the stage, Kyle looked stunned as he turned to his friends while Perry worked her way back into the set-list.
Fortunately for him, the outburst was a scripted stunt employed by Perry as a means of interacting with her audience before launching into her 2024 single I'm His, He's Mine.
Her performance came after it emerged she has not been invited back to continue her Las Vegas residency as her career continues to suffer from the backlash of her Blue Origin space trip and disastrous world tour.
The California Gurls singer has faced an onslaught of criticism over her 11-minute space flight which saw her join Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez for the all-female trip in April.
Shortly after the flight, Perry kicked off her Lifetimes tour in support of her seventh studio album, which was widely panned by critics on its release in September.
The tour has suffered from a series of setbacks - including a delayed start in Minnesota that forced fans to stand around for hours - that have led to low ticket sales and canceled dates.
The former American Idol judge has also been suffering severe backlash ever since her space tourist trip on Blue Origin's New Shepard NS-31 mission.
Perry was seen floating inside the capsule holding a daisy in a nod to her daughter Daisy.
She was ridiculed on landing back to Earth and emerging with the flower in hand which she held to the sky before dropping to her knees and kissing the ground.
She then proceeded to claim she was 'super connected to love' and thanked a reporter who incorrectly referred to her as an astronaut.
'It's not about singing my songs. It's about a collective energy in there. It's about us. It's about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging,' she said in a post-flight interview.
'And it's about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it. This is all for the benefit of Earth.'
It wasn't long before she was branded 'tone deaf' and 'dramatic' for her actions, which came days after NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth after being stranded in space for more than nine months.
Her much-maligned Lifetimes Tour has been hit with accusations of copying other pop stars, including Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter.
During her show to a sold-out crowd at Chicago's United Center on May 12, the singer addressed being the 'most hated person on the Internet.
In a video captured by a fan, the star takes a moment to look around at her fans, and says: 'Well, I thought I was the most hated person on the internet. I think that's false.'

Hugh Jackman looks in good spirits as he's mobbed by fans in New York despite claims ex Deborra-Lee Furness is 'planning to release divorce tell-all'
Hugh Jackman looked in high spirits as he was mobbed by fans outside Minetta Lane Theatre in New York City on Wednesday. The Australian actor, 56, was all smiles despite recent reports that his ex Deborra-Lee Furness, 69, is 'planning to release a divorce tell-all.' The revelations come weeks after Deborra-Lee filed official divorce papers, ending her 27-year marriage to Hugh and issuing a powerful public statement where she spoke of her 'traumatic journey of betrayal'. Brushing off his divorce drama, Hugh was noticeably upbeat as he departed the theatre following his incredible performance in the new play Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes. The Wolverine star cut a smart figure in a light blue Ralph Lauren polo top and dark blue trousers as he carried a large black backpack. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Hugh beamed as he greeted fans and signed autographs outside before heading home on his bicycle. Deborra-Lee is reportedly planning to release a no-holds-barred 'divorce diary' detailing her painful split from Hugh and the heartbreak that followed. The Australian actress is said to be currently documenting her emotional roller-coaster journey, with plans to publish the memoir once her divorce from the Wolverine star is legally finalised, according to New Idea. 'Deb's been desperate to have her side of the story out there,' an alleged source told the outlet. 'She's been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce. As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.' Hugh and Deborra-Lee's split appeared to turn bitter when she spoke about her 'traumatic journey of betrayal' in the wake of her divorce filing last month. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep. However, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' The revelations come weeks after Deb filed official divorce papers, ending her 27-year marriage to Hugh and issuing a powerful public statement where she spoke of her 'traumatic journey of betrayal' (both pictured 2023) 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.' She continued: 'I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' She concluded her statement with the 'one thing' she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal.' Deb's emotional declaration signalled a turning point in what had largely been a quiet and dignified separation - until now. Sources claim that while Deb is remaining composed publicly, behind closed doors she's preparing to reclaim her narrative with a raw and honest memoir that could shine a spotlight on Hugh's new romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster. The New Idea insider added that the actress won't be holding back: 'She won't be silenced. This is her truth.' Daily Mail Australia reached out to Deborra-Lee Furness for comment. The Wolverine star cut a smart figure in a light blue Ralph Lauren polo top and dark blue trousers as he carried a large black backpack It comes as MailOnline revealed that Hugh and Deborra-Lee have put their (UK£28million) New York apartment on the market amid their messy divorce. reports that the former couple is offloading the stunning five-bedroom 'triplex' apartment in the West Village that they purchased back in 2008 for AU$32million (UK £23million). The penthouse boasts an eye-watering 1000 sqm of floor space and spans the top three floors of a glass tower overlooking the Hudson River. The three floors are connected via a spiral staircase, and the luxe abode also boasts seven bathrooms. It also features a library, private sauna and an indoor gym, while the kitchen boasts a massive island bench, stainless steel appliances and plenty of cabinet space. Designed by lauded architect Richard Meier, the property is described as a 'modernist masterpiece'. The main bedroom, meanwhile, occupies an entire floor and includes a luxurious spa bath and dressing area. Hugh and Deborra-Lee tried to offload the apartment back in 2022 but paused the sale in favour of putting it on the rental market. The listing comes after it was recently revealed that the ex-couple had decided to split their other New York abode down the middle. The former couple filed records with the city regarding their shares of their former love nest, as seen in documents obtained by Hugh and Deborra-Lee, who had been married since 1996, announced their separation back in 2023 after 27 years of marriage. At the time, they cited a desire to pursue 'individual growth'. Though the pair have not publicly revealed the reasons behind their separation, rumours have run rampant as fans speculate that Hugh growing close to his fellow Broadway co-star Sutton in The Music Man play was a factor in their split.

Laura Tingle's replacement on 7.30 officially announced as surprise pick is slated to take the coveted gig
The man set to replace Laura Tingle on ABC's current affairs program 7.30 has been officially announced. ABC political correspondent Jacob Greber will step into the coveted role of political correspondent, after rumours swirled for weeks that the journalist was the surprise pick for the gig. The announcement was made by 7.30 host Sarah Ferguson during Thursday night's show. 'I'd like to introduce my next guest, who is not really a guest at all. With an almost 30-year career in journalism covering politics, economics, and world affairs – all the things that we want,' Ferguson said. 'He's been a foreign correspondent as well and got a start working as a copy boy in the Canberra Press Gallery. You can't beat that.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Greber, who joined the ABC less than a year ago amid a lauded career in journalism, will step into the role from July 7. 'It's an incredible time to join 7.30 with Sarah Ferguson and the team. Our audience rightly demands clarity and insight about the people who govern us and the challenges we face as a nation,' Greber said. 'I also salute Laura Tingle – an absolute class act and fearless force of nature. I'm humbled and thrilled to pick up where she's left off.' Greber will fill the gap left when Tingle announced earlier this month she would replace John Lyons as the broadcaster's outgoing global affairs editor. Earlier rumblings suggested the role might have gone to any number of Canberra bureau insiders including chief David Lipson, national affairs editor Melissa Clark and Insiders host David Speers. Q+A host Patricia Karvelas and ABC Radio Melbourne host Raf Epstein ruled themselves out of the running when contacted by the Herald. Tingle, a double Walkley-Award-winning political journalist, will start new position mid-year while Lyons packs up to become the ABC's Americas editor. Among the nation's best respected political journalists with more than 40 years experience including six years in her latest post, Tingle leaves big shoes to fill. 'The job was advertised, and I applied for it,' Tingle told The Australian last week. 'It's the best job in journalism, I reckon, other than the one I have already got.' A fellow Financial Review alum, Tingle will spend the next two years travelling the world reporting on events 'that also shape our nation'. Despite publicly advertising its shift away from television towards digital, the flagship promise of former managing director David Anderson's five-year-plan, 7.30 remains the jewel in the broadcaster's crown. Presented by former Four Corners host Sarah Ferguson, the program boasted an average nightly viewership of 756,000 in the 2023-24 financial year according to ABC's annual reporting. A dip from Covid-era highs of the three previous fiscal years, the program nonetheless retained its popularity, despite fears of a fallout following the 2022 departure of the inaugural presenter Leigh Sales. Despite being lesser known than Karvelas or Speers, Greber would bring decades of broadcast and print experience and some cachet as a reliable face on News Breakfast, Insiders, Afternoon Briefing, Weekend Breakfast and, of course, 7.30. The more front-facing role brings with it a greater possibility for controversy of the brand Tingle has found herself mired in in recent years. Last year, she was accused of dropping the veil of journalistic impartiality when she accused then Opposition Leader Peter Dutton of stoking racism by raising immigration caps as a possible salve for the housing crisis. She said Mr Dutton's rhetoric had sent a 'terrible chill running through me' before, at the same Sydney Writers Festival event, describing Australia as 'a racist country'. ABC news director Justin Stevens later said Tingle's comments, albeit not made in a work capacity, had prompted the broadcaster to remind her of the 'application' of her 'conversational' rhetoric to 'external events'. Before Tingle's six-year stint on 7.30, the coveted role was something of a hot potato having passed through the hands of four presenters in the six years between 2012 and 2018. She replaced Andrew Probyn who was more recently made redundant as the broadcaster's political editor in 2023. Internal ABC documents reportedly said the move was part of a calculated efforts to reform the Canberra bureau's 'outdated, top-heavy structure still largely focused on linear television broadcast'. Greber's appointment to the newly-minted role of chief digital political correspondent was widely considered a de facto planting of the flag in the broadcaster's 'digital-first' strategy.
