Katy Perry's longtime partner Orlando Bloom has been spotted here in Australia, amid rumours the couple's relationship is on the rocks.
Perry is nearing the end of the Australian leg of her Lifetimes tour, with shows in Perth last night and tonight before she finishes her Oz jaunt with four shows in Adelaide.
Earlier this month and several shows into the Australian tour, reports surfaced claiming that Perry's nine-year relationship with actor Bloom was all but done.
'It's over,' a source alleged to Page Six. 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.'
The pair have been engaged since 2019, and welcomed daughter Daisy Dove the following year.
But while Bloom wasn't present for the earlier shows of the Australian visit, it appears he's now flown to Perth to join Perry and their daughter on tour.
He was snapped walking through the Perth CBD yesterday ahead of Perry's first show in the city, with their daughter on his shoulders.
Perry, however, was nowhere to be seen.
A source in People made the somewhat unlikely claim that poor sales of Perry's latest album 143 and its accompanying singles were partly to blame for the alleged breakdown of her relationship.
'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' the outlet quoted a source as saying. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.'
Other reports alleged that tensions surfaced between the couple over Perry's controversial all-female space flight back in April.
A source alleged to The Sun that Bloom was 'frustrated' and 'disappointed' with his partner's decision to go ahead with the brief joy ride into space.
Perry looked to be enjoying herself before Bloom joined her on tour, partying at a gay club night held in her honour last week in Melbourne.
Perry cheered on the drag shows and mingled with patrons during the 'Poof Doof' party at Melbourne's Chasers nightclub last week, and even addressed the crowd to make a big announcement.
'Because you are my chosen family, a mother must provide for her children,' she told the heaving crowd in the club.
'So as a provider, I would like to open the bar for one hour. The drinks are on me, baby.'
Perry and Bloom had earlier split for a year in 2017 before getting back together.
The pop star addressed the past break on the podcast Call her Daddy last year, saying, 'We weren't really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work.'
