Katy Perry has fuelled rumours that she's split with her husband, Orlando Bloom, after making cryptic remarks onstage.
Perry was performing on the third night of her string of shows in Sydney on her sellout Australian tour when she alluded to a break-up.
Her remarks came just hours after rumours began to swirl that she and Bloom have called it quits and are waiting until the end of Perry's tour to confirm the news.
The pop star was performing her break-up song I'm Still Breathing when she opened up a TimTam and began to snack on it.
'This song is about a break-up, and this Tim Tam saved me' Perry told the audience.
'Thank you' she added before offering out the biscuits to her fans in the front row.
Her cryptic remarks came after sources told People that stress over the poor reception of her new album, 143, has caused 'tension' in the stars' relationship.
'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' a source said. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.'
Another source told the magazine: 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.'
The couple, who first met in 2016, previously split for a year in 2017 before getting back together.
Perry addressed the past break on Call her Daddy, in 2024, 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.'
That same month, the pop star told People: 'Orlando and I, when we argue, we argue kinda hot and fast and then cool really quickly. It's like, 'La la la la la, I love you. Alright, let's move on.''
'We are fire, fire, fire, and so [Daisy] sees all of that,' she continued.
'He's a real sage. We both have parts of ourselves. There's two parts of us, our highest good, and then our carnal, material self. Ego. When the ego is running the show, then it's like, 'Whoa.' But when that's in check, then we're both something else.''
