Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom ‘Split' After 9 Years Together—Before $15 Million Marital Mansion in Montecito Is Even Finished
Popstar Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have reportedly split after nine years together—with multiple sources claiming that the couple's six-year engagement is officially over. Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty, where they fought over an In 'N' Out burger, the singer previously revealed during an episode of 'American Idol.' According to one insider, the duo—who share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy—remain 'amicable' amid their 'split' and are focused on co-parenting their child together. 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' a source told Us Weekly. 'It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.' 'They are still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together,' a second insider added, noting that Bloom and Perry are both planning to continue residing in Montecito to avoid disrupting their daughter's life as much as possible. 'They aren't making drastic changes for Daisy's sake. They will keep their lives in Montecito. They are prioritizing stability and consistency for Daisy.' Rumors of a split have dogged the couple for years now, however Bloom appeared to confirm the latest speculation when he made a solo arrival in Venice for the wedding of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez—with whom Perry is also understood to be close friends. Bloom was seen spending time with , Khloe Kardashian, and Kris Jenner after touching down in the Italian city just hours before the Bezos-Sanchez celebrations were due to kick off. The actor was seen grinning from ear-to-ear as he leaned in to embrace the trio, whom he appears to have run into while grabbing some food outside of The Gritti Palace hotel, where many of Bezos and Sanchez's guests are staying. One source told TMZ that Bloom is refusing to let the split get him down, claiming that the actor is planning to let his hair down during the wedding celebrations. 'He's the life of the party and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!' the insider claimed. Currently, it's not known whether Perry will make an appearance at the wedding—having been one of a select few guests invited to attend Sanchez's bachelorette party back in May, alongside Kim and Eva Longoria. The pop sensation is currently in the middle of her Lifetimes Tour and is due to perform in Australia on June 26, June 27, June 29, and June 30, suggesting she will not have time to jet to Venice for the wedding festivities. When her tour wraps, however, Perry will return to Montecito—where she and Bloom are in the process of finishing renovations on a sprawling compound that they purchased in October 2020 for a staggering $14.2 million. The duo were understood to have been carrying out extensive work on the sprawling abode, which is one of two over-the-top dwellings that Perry owns in the tony celebrity-loved enclave. She purchased the Mediterranean-style mansion just months after buying another Montecito abode over which she became embroiled in a bitter legal battle with its former owner. Perry struck a deal to purchase the property from veteran Carl Westcott for $15 million back in 2020—however just days later, the seller tried to back out of the deal, claiming that he had been under the influence of painkillers when he agreed to the sale. 'The combination of his age, frailty from his back condition and recent surgery, and the opiates he was taking several times a day rendered Mr. Westcott of unsound mind,' Westcott's lawyers stated in court documents. However, Perry's representatives argued that Westcott, a business mogul who founded 1-800-Flowers, had been of sound mind when he agreed to the deal and that he only wanted to back out because he hadn't been able to find an alternative Montecito property to his liking or budget. Their yearslong legal battle was finally resolved in December 2023, when a judge ruled in Perry's favor and ordered that the original sale contract—which was arranged via the pop star's business manager, Bernie Gudvi—should be upheld. Perry officially took possession of the home in May 2024. The sprawling, 1930s-era, 9,285-square-foot compound sits amongst the Santa Ynez foothills and has eight bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, a tennis court, two guesthouses, and a pool. It's unclear whether Bloom was involved in the purchase of the sprawling abode, however he was dragged into Perry's legal battle when he was subpoenaed to testify in a trial during which the 'Roar' singer was attempting to claim damages of up to $6 million from Westcott. Most recently, it was reported that Perry had made the decision to lease the property to fellow A-lister Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, with the Daily Mail reporting that the couple had recently moved into the dwelling while they finish work on their own property in Brentwood. 'The arrangement suits Chris but it's a bit of a surprise given how Katy fought tooth and nail to get her hands on the house,' a source told the outlet. 'She previously suggested it was the ideal place for her and Orlando to raise a family. After all that time, energy and money, it seems unthinkable that they are not going to live in it.'

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Have Broken Up
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are going their separate ways. After weeks of rumors, People confirmed that the singer and Pirates of the Caribbean actor have ended their engagement and relationship of nine years. They share a four-year-old daughter together, Daisy Dove. Neither party has commented publicly on the split. Perry and Bloom first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, she revealed that their meet-cute involved In-and-Out: Bloom stole a burger off of her and Denzel Washington's table. 'I was like, 'Oh, you're so hot. Fine, take it,'' she said. 'And then I saw him at a party and I was like, 'How are those onions resting on your molars?'' Bloom proposed to Perry on Valentine's Day in 2019. 'We went to dinner. I thought we were going to go see some art after dinner, but we pulled up to a helicopter,' Perry told Jimmy Kimmel Live. Yes, you know where this is going: 'He asked me to marry him in a helicopter,' she added. Previously, Perry was married to comedian Russell Brand. Bloom, meanwhile, was married to Miranda Kerr. Recently, Perry was part of Lauren Sánchez's high-profile Blue Origin space flight, where a group of women traveled eleven minutes to the atmosphere's Kármán line. She is also currently performing in Australia on her Lifetimes tour. Meanwhile, Bloom has just been spotted in Venice ahead of Sánchez and Jeff Bezos's wedding. It is unclear whether Perry will also be attending the high-profile wedding.

Orlando Bloom arrives solo for Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez wedding amid Katy Perry split reports
Orlando Bloom has touched down in Italy for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding, sans Katy Perry. The couple, who have been together for nine years and share one daughter together, have reportedly split, according to People. The split comes two months after Perry flew to space with Sanchez on Bezos' Blue Origin spacecraft. While Perry did attend Sanchez's bachelorette party last month, she is currently in Australia for her world tour. On Thursday, the 48-year-old British actor was seen greeting Kim Kardashian, and later, photographed dining with pals. Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Other celebrities such as Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, Tom Brady and Oprah Winfrey were also photographed arriving in Venice, Italy ahead of the Bezos-Sanchez wedding set to take place in the coming days. Kim, who was wearing a two-piece black Balenciaga ensemble, was seen waving to onlookers as she boarded a water-taxi with mom Kris and sister, Khloe. Oprah Winfrey and former NFL star Tom Brady were also seen boarding their individual water taxis as well. On Wednesday, the soon-to-be newlyweds were seen out and about in Venice. According to multiple reports, the couple decided to change one of their wedding venues in Venice because of security concerns and possible protests. The couple had planned to hold a wedding party at the historic Scuola Grande della Misericordia in the Cannaregio section of the city, but are now said to be moving it to the harder-to-reach Arsenale, a former shipyard, which is completely surrounded by water and only reachable by boat when connecting bridges are raised, BBC News and Reuters reported. A number of other celebrities are invited to the wedding festivities, which remain a secret but are expected to kick off on Thursday and end Saturday in the picturesque Italian city. WATCH: JEFF BEZOS AND LAUREN SANCHEZ ARRIVE IN VENICE, ITALY AHEAD OF THEIR WEDDING DAY Despite ongoing protests from local Venetians, Mayor Luigi Brugnaro told The Associated Press that the city is "very proud" to be hosting the couple's wedding. "We are very proud," Brugnaro said. "I don't know if I will have time [to meet Bezos and Sánchez], or if he will, to meet and shake hands, but it's an honor that they chose Venice. Venice once again reveals itself to be a global stage."
