Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom split 6 years after getting engaged
Outlets including People and USA Today cited a statement that said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and would continue to be seen in public with their daughter. The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect.'
The statement came a week after reports of the couple's breakup swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour.
Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment.
Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been romantically linked since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'
In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got UNICEF to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency that helps children.
Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child.
Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand.
Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet 'Teenage Dream.' The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album 'Bad.'
Bloom, who is from Canterbury, England, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in 'The Lord of the Rings' and "The Hobbit" films as well as Will Turner in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series.

Dave Portnoy trolls Mexican boxer after Trump's ICE agents arrested and vowed to deport him over 'cartel links'
Barstool Sports boss Dave Portnoy has poked fun at Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. after the boxer was arrested by ICE agents just five days after his loss to Jake Paul. The 39-year-old son of the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez was picked up while riding his scooter in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Studio City - with footage of the incident later emerging on social media. He was then processed over what Department of Homeland Security officials claim are his connections to the Sinaloa Cartel - an organization his father was famously friendly with during his celebrated boxing career. The Department of Homeland Security said they are 'processing him for expedited removal from the United States' due to a warrant in Mexico. DHS officials say Chavez Jr's June 28 loss to Paul occurred one day after he became determined to stay in the country illegally - and now Portnoy has jumped in to goad the 39-year-old boxer. Taking to X on Thursday night, the Barstool boss wrote: 'Lose to Jake Paul. Instantly get deported. In the history of bad weeks this gotta be top 10'. After news of Chavez Jr's arrest, Portnoy took to social media to post this message Paul, similarly, took to the social media platform to troll his opponent from Saturday night. Initially, he just posted an American flag emoji. Two hours later, Paul returned to X to share another blunt message. He wrote: 'Canelo is next'. Paul had been linked with a stunning bout against Canelo at the start of the year, but was eventually snubbed for a four-fight deal with Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Season. Instead, Canelo is gearing up for a blockbuster super-fight against Terence Crawford for the super middleweight titles on September 13. Meanwhile, in its statement, DHS explained Chavez Jr's warrant relates to 'his involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition, and explosives'. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said: 'This Sinaloa Cartel affiliate with an active arrest warrant for trafficking guns, ammunition, and explosives was arrested by ICE. The statement also accused the Biden White House of allowing Chavez to leave the US. 'It is shocking the previous administration flagged this criminal illegal alien as a public safety threat, but chose to not prioritize his removal and let him leave and COME BACK into our country. 'Under President Trump, no one is above the law—including world-famous athletes. Our message to any cartel affiliates in the U.S. is clear: We will find you and you will face consequences. The days of unchecked cartel violence are over.' Mexico has since confirmed that it issued an arrest warrant for Chavez Jr in 2023. Now, according to Mexican officials, their government and DHS officials have 'started the corresponding procedure for his extradition to Mexico.' The timing of his deportation has not been revealed publicly. Meanwhile, the DHS report makes note that, in August 2023, Chavez Jr. legally entered the US via a B2 tourist visa that was valid until February 2024. 'The current allegations are outrageous and simply another headline to terrorize the community,' Chavez Jr's attorney Michael Goldstein told The Associated Press. Speaking to the AP, Goldstein said he did not know where his client was being detained on Thursday morning. Goldstein says Chavez is due in court on Monday in connection with prior gun possession charges. In April 2024, Chavez filed an application for a Lawful Permanent Resident status based upon his marriage to a US citizen, who was connected to infamous cartel leader Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman. In December, immigration services flagged that Chavez was an 'egregious public safety threat'. One month later, in January this year, the previous administration led by Joe Biden allowed Chavez to re-enter the country and paroled him into the US. Multiple 'fraudulent statements' on his Lawful Permanent Resident application meant that Chavez was legally able to removed from the country on June 27th - two days prior to his fight against Paul. Chavez's father - who was also a boxing star and a namesake to his son - has openly spoken about his own relationships with the Sinaloa Cartel and, in particular, 'El Chapo'. In a podcast with journalist Javier Alarcon in 2021, Chavez revealed: 'Not just El Chapo, I've met all the most wanted drug traffickers, like Amado Carrillo, El Azul (Esparragoza), and El Mayo (Zambada). 'I know them all, and they've all been my friends, but that's about it. Those people, if you know them, are good people'. Meanwhile, Portnoy himself made headlines this week after getting into a heated argument with a pizza shop employee and being kicked out. However, the sports media titan quickly denied he was the man in the video - while reveling in the fact that the viral clip was making his name trend on X. 'Momma there goes that man again! The haters are so obsessed with me they make me go viral even when it's not even me. That's true power!,' he wrote in response to the clip. 'I've become a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Portnoy will get you!'

Eighties pop diva Tiffany looks back: ‘I didn't want to record I Think We're Alone Now, but my girlfriends loved it'
Born in 1971 in Norwalk, California, Tiffany Darwish began singing at country fairs aged nine, before releasing her first album at 15. In 1987, her cover of I Think We're Alone Now reached No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was taken from her self-titled album, which reached No 1 in the Billboard 200 chart, making her the youngest female artist to top the US charts with a debut album at the time. Exploring rock and country, she has since released another 10 albums and appeared in reality TV shows including The Masked Singer. She has a son, lives in Nashville, and runs the food community Let's Food With Tiffany. Tiffany performs at Retrospective festival in Merseyside on 5 September. This was taken in New York by Lynn Goldsmith. I hated that my teeth were crooked, so I wouldn't smile in photos, and I do look a little self‑conscious. But I loved this shoot and everything it represented. I was 16, and transitioning from the cute, girly pop look to a more womanly, coming-of-age aesthetic. My hair and makeup looked a little more mature and sexy, which was kind of taboo back then as I was so young. When I got back to California, my manager saw the picture and went crazy. There was a big fight. 'I don't like that image,' he said. 'Absolutely not. Too sexy. You shouldn't have worn those clothes.' Until that point, most photos of me were pretty Plain Jane. I'd get put in tutus and overly happy outfits; mainly it was just a jean jacket. All of which was very at odds with who I really was – darker soul, a little rock'n'roll. I started out in beauty pageants and won Little Miss Norwalk when I was just a toddler. I would come on stage and dance while the older girls were getting changed – I didn't have a routine, really, I just kind of moved my fists and did my thing for three minutes. Even then, I was never afraid of the stage. I loved it. I loved music, too – I would steal my cousin's vinyl, and adored the artists my grandmother listened to, like Chubby Checker and Marvin Gaye. I was singing all the time and loved the way it made me feel. It made me feel pretty. When I was nine, my parents had some friends who were having a get-together with musicians. My dad said: 'Tiffany sings all the time. Get her up there.' As soon as I started singing it got real quiet in the audience. The atmosphere turned weird. Why was a 30-year-old woman's voice coming from a child's body? People didn't know how to respond, but it was clear I needed to explore it further. I didn't want to record I Think We're Alone Now when I first heard it. It was dancey, and I worried that it wasn't going to show that I could actually sing. I was 14, and I had this vision of me being Stevie Nicks or Janis Joplin. Then, one afternoon, I had my girlfriends over to do homework. I put it on and they immediately started dancing around. I realised there is something about this song that makes people feel good. Still today, it never lets me down. Naturally, my career became a little more intense after I got successful. There were compromises to be made, and it was isolating, because I was travelling all the time without family, friends or the routine of school. I was a teenager, up at the crack of dawn, doing promo all day, off to shows at night and then … goodnight! The band and crew would head to the bar, and I was left alone in my room, not sure how to unwind. I immediately went into sadness, because I didn't know how to get rid of that pent-up energy. Musicians often turn to drugs or alcohol, but I took a lot of hot baths and racked up big phone bills. At the start of my career, there were a lot of women who inspired me – Carol Decker, Kim Wilde, Taylor Dayne, Samantha Fox. I watched how they composed themselves backstage, how they dressed, how they handled the audience. Standing up for myself and saying what I needed was novel until I saw them do it. Even before I was famous I had no voice. My mum was an alcoholic, and being the child of an alcoholic, you learn to cope. Anything that's going to make her day better, I'd roll with so as not to disturb the peace. I took that same approach to most of my career. To this day, I still don't fuss. But now I know what's good for me and I don't question speaking up. My third album was the first that included my own songwriting. Unfortunately it didn't have the right support from the label. I think they thought: 'We don't know what to do with her.' One minute I was this wholesome girl; the next I am in a bodysuit with dyed black hair, wrapping myself around a pole in the photos. It didn't sell well as a result of their lack of backing. That kind of attitude – this confusion about me becoming an adult – followed me for years. So much so that I waited until I was in my 30s to do Playboy. Even then, people still said: 'What have you done? Where's the 15-year-old we loved?' At 53, I still feel like I'm finding my way as an artist. I've done some albums and they've got good reviews, but they are definitely not in the charts and they're not on radio, either, so people will ask: 'Where did you go? Are you still singing?' I try not to get insulted, because I'm living my dream, even if I'm not No 1. I have to remind myself: 'How lucky am I to perform in front of an audience, to travel and meet new people all the time?'

My weight yo-yos a lot, and my lifestyle doesn't make it any better – I am a huge foodie. Maybe it's the Lebanese in me – all the women on my dad's side are voluptuous, but my mum had three kids and she still had this tiny, perfect body. When you're in menopause, there's a lot of resistance to losing weight and the old tricks don't work any more – the Hollywood diets, eating only cucumbers. Over the years I've tried everything and it's not sustainable, so I am trying to come to terms with the fact that it's not about size, it's about how you feel – although I did just lose 15lbs through gardening. I was digging in the humidity of Nashville. At one point I took a selfie for Instagram, but the image of me hot and covered in mud was a real fright. I was like: 'Tiffany, there's being real and then there's scaring people.' Another change is that I got tattoos. I have the word 'Gypsy' on my arm, because the life of a musician is very nomadic. My whole life is packed into one bag. Recently, I flew straight from America to Dublin and had a stopoff in the loo at Heathrow to get ready – using baby wipes instead of a shower, trying to add my sparkle and glamour in a tiny stall. I laughed at how absurd it was, but I was also thinking: 'Beyoncé does not have to do this.' I also have a tattoo of a beautiful butterfly with jagged edges. I haven't filled in all the colours on its wings yet, because I don't feel I'm completely transformed. Maybe I'll never fill them in. And maybe that's OK.

Photo of Tammy Hembrow being carried out of Kylie Jenner's 21st on a stretcher face-down goes viral after her split from Matt Zukowski
Tammy Hembrow has had her past pulled back into the spotlight as images of her being carried out of Kylie Jenner's 21st birthday after a collapse resurfaced. The fitness influencer, 31, made headlines in 2018 when she was photographed lying face-down in a stretcher outside of the trendy nightspot Delilah in West Hollywood. Now, the shock moment has gone viral once more after Outspoken the Podcast released episodes detailing the online star's rise to fame. 'I remember when this story broke at the time, there was a lot of speculation as to who this guest was at the party,' co-host Sophie Taeuber said of the incident. 'Tammy was lying face-down on the stretcher, so it led to a big guessing game. I think this made the story even bigger when it was then revealed it was Tammy.' 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. The influencer, who had struck up a friendship with the Kardashians at the time, has long since addressed the infamous moment. Tammy told Stellar Magazine last year how the experience, which saw her loaded into the back of an ambulance outside the club, marked rock bottom for her. 'I kept telling myself there is only up from here,' she explained to the publication, adding she had only had 'one or two' drinks when it happened. 'It was a very dark time and I had to shut out the trolls and the hate I was getting.' Tammy documented the experience in her book Show Up, and said she wanted to be honest with her fans. 'People look at my social media and they think, oh, she's trying to be perfect, but I'm the least perfect person ever. I wanted to show that I'm a real person,' Tammy said. At the time, the fitness guru cried on camera while addressing the alarming photographs showing her being carried out of the bash face-down on a stretcher. Reflecting on the incident, which happened two months after she announced her split from Reece Hawkins, Tammy blamed her lack of sleep for her horrifying collapse. 'Firstly, I want everyone to know that I'm okay... So yeah, I pretty much collapsed. Honestly, I'm already like super, super embarrassed about it,' Tammy explained. 'I probably, definitely shouldn't have been drinking because of how jet-lagged and exhausted I was, and I already wasn't feeling well. 'So basically what happened was I was in LA I was running off pretty much 30 hours of no sleep. 'I was struggling to stay awake even when I had my hair and makeup done... I could barely keep my eyes open.' Tammy had joined a whole galaxy of stars invited to Kylie's exclusive 21st birthday bash at the hottest nightclub in West Hollywood at the time. However, the Kardashian family ' unfollowed' Tammy on Instagram after the incident. It comes as Tammy has revealed her heart is still 'aching' following her split from husband Matt, 30, as she mended her wounds in New Zealand. Tammy fled Australia with her three children—Wolf, nine, Saskia, seven, and Posy, three—after news broke of their separation. She spent much of the last week documenting her stay in New Zealand following her split from the former Love Island star. Matt and Tammy are headed for divorce after just seven months of marriage, with the influencer jetting off to the South Island to recuperate in the wake of their split. Tammy announced her shock split from Matt last month in an emotional video. The former reality star also revealed the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision; however, we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children. 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support.
