ALL CHANGE
Last week, The Sun reported how Orlando and Katy
held crisis talks
to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives.
American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Orlando would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dancefloor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials.
An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.
'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.'

It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule.
The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.'
Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin.

They said: 'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.'
DONE DEAL?
Yet it was then claimed Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring.
A source close to the couple said: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their
relationship was as good as done
.
'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter.

"But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin.
'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message.
'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.'
The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision.
