Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom end their nine year relationship
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called off their relationship. A source confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple, who got engaged in 2019, have decided to part ways. TMZ was the first to report the news.
Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty -- over a shared love for In-N-Out burgers. According to People, Katy, while recalling the moment during an episode of American Idol, said, 'I met my boyfriend over In-N-Out. We were at the Golden Globes, and we weren't together.'
'So I had my security guard grab 10 In-N-Outs, and all of a sudden I see my boyfriend's hand, he wasn't even sitting at our table. he just swoops in and grabs it. I was like, 'Hey, that's my burger!'.'
Later that year, the couple went public with their romance after attending the Cannes Film Festival and sharing their first photo on Instagram. However, their relationship has had its ups and downs.
In February 2017, the couple announced they had broken up but stayed on good terms during an appearance on Call Her Daddy. 'We're friends, it's good,' Bloom said of his split with Perry in April 2017.
'We're all grown up. She happens to be someone who is very visible, but I don't think anybody cares about what I'm up to. Nor should they. It's between us. It's better to set an example for kids and show that [breakups] don't have to be about hate.'

The two reunited in 2018 but reportedly chose not to label their relationship at first. A source told PEOPLE back then, 'They are not girlfriend and boyfriend. They do seem very happy together, though. Orlando always had the nicest things to say about Katy. He loves spending time with her.' Later that year, they made their red carpet debut at the Gala for the Global Ocean in Monaco.

A-list celebs, luxury hotels, private jets and water taxis But to make such a wedding come to life isn't easy and or cheap. Massive logistics have to be put in place to ensure that this event plays out without any hitches and for that purpose. Bezos and Sanchez have invited an estimated 250 guests, including several high-profile celebrities. While the entire guest list is still a secret, some were spotted on Thursday making their way on to water taxis. These include Kim Kardashian, her sisters and mother, Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner and their three children, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom and former American footballer Tom Brady.

AP It is reported that Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Hollywood A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio is also expected to attend the nuptials. And for these guests, Bezos and Sanchez have booked out five of the city's most luxurious hotels. The hotels include Cipriani on the island of Giudecca, and the Aman on the Grand Canal where US actor George Clooney stayed for his 2014 wedding with human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin . According to travel website Kayak, the basic room at the Aman costs $2,736.

AP Moreover, to ferry these A-list guests and everything else required for the events, Bezos and Sanchez have hired 90 private jets and also booked at least 30 water taxis from different companies in Venice for the wedding guests.

The Times of India has put down the cost to be $525,000 (Rs 4.48 crore). Lauren Sanchez leaves the Aman Venice hotel, ahead of their expected wedding, in Venice, Italy. She's dressed in a Schiaparelli dress from their spring 2025 couture collection. Reuters And this doesn't seem incredulous considering what Sanchez has already been pictured wearing for her wedding celebrations. She started it off with a 2003 Alexander McQueen dress with mother-of-pearl stripes. She followed that up with a Schiaparelli dress from their spring 2025 couture collection. The gold look, designed by Daniel Roseberry, features a corseted bodice covered in gold bugle beads as well as an off-the-shoulder neckline with hand-embroidered flowers. She accessorised the dress with diamond earrings as well as her multimillion-dollar engagement ring. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It is still to be seen which designer she chooses for her wedding but many are speculating that Sanchez is opting for a Dolce and Gabbana creation. Donations and gifts Besides spending for hotels, water taxis and other logistics, Bezos and Sanchez are also making sizeable charity donations, including €1 million (Rs 10 crore) for Corila, an academic consortium that studies Venice's lagoon ecosystem, Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper and the ANSA news agency reported. There are also reports that the A-list guests will receive extravagant gifts from the couple.

Reuters Over 1,000 times the cost of a US wedding While Bezos and Sanchez are shelling out $46 million for their nuptials, a study shows that this is over 1,000 times the cost of an average US wedding. A study by Zola predicts that couples in America will spend roughly $36,000 (Rs 30.7 lakh) for a wedding, up from $31,000 (Rs 26.5 lakh) in 2024. The study also notes that more than 50 per cent of couples are expected to go over budget. Brooke Avishay, the owner of Orange Blossom Special Events, was quoted as saying that the price of weddings in the US has been steadily rising for the past five years. 'This surge is largely due to inflation and the aftereffects of the Covid-19 pandemic. When weddings were put on hold in 2020, the industry suffered, and many small, specialised businesses experienced staffing shortages. Once events resumed in 2021, the sudden, overwhelming demand — combined with limited vendor capacity — naturally drove up prices, a trend that has held steady into 2025.'
