Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom split after nearly a decade together: What went wrong?
9 years in, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called it quits. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split: But what went wrong?(Photos: X)
The news was confirmed by PEOPLE, putting an end to the star couple's six-year-long engagement. The speculations had been going strong for months on end, though both Katy, 40, and Orlando, 48, kept up public appearances and social pleasantries. As a matter of fact, for her Rolling Stone interview earlier this year, the pop star, had positively affirmed the life that she and Orlando had built together with their daughter Daisy Dove: "I'm proud of my family life, my home life...and the foundation I have", she said.
Official news of their split comes amid Katy being busy on the Australia leg of her Lifetimes tour while Orlando has just touched-down in Venice to be party to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's larger-than-life wedding weekend. Neither have officially addressed this development.
The two officially began dating in January 2016, though they chose to (briefly) split just over a year into the relationship. A year apart however, brought them slowly back into each other's fold with the pair reconciling by early 2018. Orlando popped the question to Katy Perry on Valentine's Day, 2019. A gleaming Katy Perry had even shared details of the wholesome proposal later that year, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel: "It was very sweet. It was Valentine's Day...we went to dinner and I thought we were going to go see some art after dinner but we pulled up to a helicopter...We landed on a rooftop — my whole family was there, and all my friends. He did so well", she gushed.
In March 2020, Katy spilled the news of her first pregnancy, calling it, ""probably the longest secret (she's) ever had to keep". Orlando and Katy's daughter Daisy Dove was born later that year, on August 27. There were reports of a wedding being planned the very same year, though of course movement restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 waves, sullied prospects.
Since then, Katy had on several occasions, addressed the wedding-to-be, also indirectly referring to herself as Orlando's 'new wife', whilst posing with Orlando's ex-wife, Miranda Kerr. As per a PEOPLE report, she said on stage, "Some of you might be confused about why I'm introducing Miranda, that doesn't play into the antiquated narrative of ex-wives and new wives. And yes, it's true, most of the media would like to see us mud wrestle, including (her husband) Evan, but we are here to lead by love because Miranda is love".
Reports of trouble in paradise however, started overtaking this dreamy narrative earlier this year, with the backlash from Katy's space trip and the pressures of her Lifetimes tour, compounding into their dynamic, as per an ET report. News of their split has now officially made it's way to the public in June.
So is Orlando 'the one that got away'?

Donald Trump sues Bruce Springsteen for defamation over explosive onstage comments
The battle between politics and pop culture just took a legal turn. Donald Trump is suing Bruce Springsteen for defamation after the singer made some very harsh comments during his recent concert tour. This started as a fight over words and has turned into a legal battle that has sparked a national debate. The lawsuit brings up questions about free speech, political criticism, and whether comments from celebrities can make things more exciting in court. Bruce Springsteen is accused of making "false, malicious, and damaging statements" about Trump in recent interviews and during his 2025 concert tour, according to the filing, which was filed in federal court in New Jersey. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Beautiful, Now Its Hard To Look At Her Crowdy Fan Undo The lawsuit is the result of a sour public dispute between the two well-known individuals, whose ideological differences have always been apparent, that has been simmering for months. ALSO READ : Canadian outrage erupts after citizen dies in ICE custody - Carney vs Trump tensions boil over Live Events What did Bruce Springsteen say on stage? In particular, Springsteen's remarks on stage at his June 3rd performance in Philadelphia, where he called Trump 'a conman who tried to hijack democracy and sell it back to us at a profit,' are cited by Trump's legal team. Springsteen reiterated his claims that Trump "represents the very worst of America's past dressed up as its future" in a subsequent interview with Rolling Stone, as per a report by Tempo de Conhecer. The lawsuit claims that these statements were "knowingly false and intended to harm Mr. Trump's reputation and influence," particularly during a period when Trump is actively campaigning for a 2028 reelection. Why is Donald Trump taking legal action now? President Trump's attorneys contend that Springsteen's remarks have done "irreparable damage" to the president's reputation and political prospects because of his global following and devoted fan base. Springsteen views the lawsuit as "another bullying tactic" from a man who can't stand dissent, according to those close to him. Springsteen, a longtime Trump critic, has frequently portrayed Trump as the opposite of the working-class values he extols in his music and has used his platform to express concerns about what he perceives to be a threat to American democracy. However, this legal action seems to have gone too far, even for the vocal singer. The President isn't deterred, though. Trump wrote, "Springsteen has been lying about me for years. Enough is enough. You can't just call someone a criminal without evidence and expect no consequences. This is America not a rock concert.' Is this about reputation or free speech? An unnamed friend of Springsteen told a reporter, "This is not about protecting reputation." 'This is about silencing critics. Bruce has been writing and singing about injustice his entire life. Trump just picked the wrong guy to sue,' as quoted in a report. Public opinion has been sharply split on this case; Springsteen fans see it as another assault on free speech in a nation where criticizing political leaders should be tolerated rather than punished, while supporters see it as a daring protest against liberal elites using their platforms to disparage conservatives. According to legal experts, it will be challenging to prove defamation in the lawsuit against Donald Trump and Bruce Springsteen. Known as "The Boss," Springsteen has a career of singing about the hopes and hardships of regular Americans, frequently with a gritty honesty that goes beyond politics. Conversely, President Trump has emerged as a highly divisive figure whose ideas for America frequently diverge from Springsteen's. The case has brought controversy and attention to both men involved. FAQs What specifically did Bruce Springsteen say about Donald Trump? During a concert, he called Trump "a conman who tried to hijack democracy" and later said in an interview that he "represents the worst of America's past." Does Donald Trump have a strong case? Legal experts say it will be difficult. Public figures must demonstrate "actual malice," and Springsteen's comments may be protected as opinion under the First Amendment.
