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 break-up swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour.
Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to a 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'.

Michael Madsen, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill star, dies at 67

Michael Madsen, whose menacing characters in Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill made him a stand-out in Quentin Tarantino's films, has died. He was 67. Madsen was found unresponsive in his home in Malibu, California, on Thursday morning and pronounced dead, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Watch Commander Christopher Jauregui said. He is believed to have died of natural causes and authorities do not suspect any foul play was involved. Madsen's manager Ron Smith said cardiac arrest was the apparent cause. Madsen's career spanned more than 300 credits stretching back to the early 1980s, many in low-budget films. But his most memorable screen moment may have been the sadistic torture of a captured police officer – while dancing to Stealers Wheel's 'Stuck in the Middle with You' – as Mr Blonde in 1992's Reservoir Dogs. He would become a Tarantino regular, appearing in the Kill Bill films and The Hateful Eight.

With F1: The Movie on track for success, what's next for Apple's film business?

The US$145 million global opening of Apple's F1 The Movie came as a relief, both for the iPhone maker itself and cinema operators in the United States hoping for an original hit during this sequel-dominated summer of blockbusters. The expensive action sports drama , starring Brad Pitt, directed by Joseph Kosinski ( Top Gun: Maverick ) and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, was a high-stakes gamble by the California-based tech giant, which until now has enjoyed little success at cinemas. The film did better than expected in the US and Canada, generating US$57 million in ticket sales in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates. Analysts were projecting US$40 million to US$50 million, based on pre-release tracking. Warner Bros. Pictures, which is on a much-needed hot streak, distributed F1 in partnership with Apple.
