Katy Perry continues to go without her engagement ring in Perth despite Orlando Bloom being in town as split speculation continues to swirl

Daily Mail​24-06-2025
Katy Perry has once again been spotted without her engagement ring as split speculation between the pop star and fiancé Orlando Bloom continues to swirl.
The Roar hitmaker, 40, is currently Down Under on her Australian tour, and was recently joined by Orlando, 48, and their daughter Daisy Dove, four.
Despite the family reunion, Katy was without her eye catching floral inspired ruby engagement ring in her latest Instagram post.
Katy shared a photo on Monday that showed her standing in front of Perth 's RAC arena.
The singer looked almost unrecognisable in a grey hooded jumper which she wore under a beige overcoat.

With the hood pulled up over he raven locks, Katy kept the incognito theme doing with a pair of dark sunglasses.
She was also seen clutching a cup of coffee in her left hand, with her engagement ring conspicuously absent.
Daily Australia has reached out to Katy Perry for comment.
While Katy doesn't always wear the ring Orlando proposed to her with in 2019, it's absence was intriguing given the fresh scrutiny into her relationship.
Katy's ring hand was noticeably bare during a visit to Luna Park in Sydney earlier this month with her four-year-old daughter Daisy, whom she shares with Orlando.
The Hot N Cold singer was also spotted sans engagement ring during a recent night out in Melbourne.
The couple have been at the centre of rife speculation during Katy's tour of Australia, and the pop star fuelled rumours even more after making a recent telling comment onstage.
The American singer was performing the third of her Sydney concerts when she was handed a packet of Tim Tam chocolate biscuits.
She was in the middle of her performance of her 2008 heartbreak anthem I'm Still Breathing when she opened the packet and ate one of the treats.
'This song is about a breakup, and this Tim Tam saved me,' she told the crowd during the brief interlude.
'Thank you,' she added, before launching back into the track while kneeling down and offering the biscuits to audience members in the front row.
It comes after reports that Katy and Orlando are set to have serious conversations about the state of their relationship.
From her controversial Blue Origin space flight to her absence from their Montecito, California, home due to her world tour – things have been a bit rough for the long-time couple lately.
And while rumours may be circulating about the demise of their nearly decade-long relationship, an insider told The Sun: '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,' a source told the publication.
'But Katy especially doesn't want to just give up,' the source continued.
Katy has been in Australia for the entire month of June, with the last performance of her Lifetimes Tour Down Under on June 30 in Adelaide.
Her tour has caused the 'biggest disruption' in her home life with the Lord of the Rings star.
The source said: 'Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments have been living separate lives.
'She has mentioned jetting back from Australia to spend time with Orlando, Daisy, her sister Angela and her kids.
'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.
'It has been "go, go, go" and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened.'
Additionally, Orlando wasn't in favour of Katy's Blue Origin space flight.
However, in spite of their disagreements and obstacles, the source insisted it isn't all over for the couple.
'It is quite a lot more complicated than that. They have been apart for their longest amount of time since they have been together,' they said.
'But there is still a huge amount of love between them, and there is still hope that they can ride out this rough patch.
'Anyone in long-term relationships goes through challenges, and many times when things appear to be done, couples reconnect and make things work.'
Despite recent tensions, the source remains optimistic: 'The type of people they are, there still remains a lot of hope. Katy has never been happier in her life than with Orlando.'
'If this reunion can revive those times, then they could come through this.'
Katy also sparked fresh split rumours this week after quietly renting out the home where she and Orlando had vowed to raise their daughter, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed.
She has handed the keys of the $30million mansion in Montecito, California to actor Chris Pratt – raising fresh questions about the state of her relationship.
Sources tell DailyMail.com, that Chris 46, and his author wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35, recently moved into the sprawling estate on a short-term basis while they build a new mansion.
'The arrangement suits Chris, but it's a bit of a surprise given how Katy fought tooth and nail to get her hands on the house,' a source revealed.
'She [Katy] previously suggested it was the ideal place for her and Orlando to raise a family. After all that time, energy and money, it seems unthinkable that they are not going to live in it.'

Why the AFL keeps smashing the NRL's grand final entertainment by attracting the world's biggest music stars

The AFL and the NRL have been at loggerheads for years over who can bring in the biggest crowds, who can amass the most television viewers and which code can take the crown as Australia's biggest and most influential sport. Rugby league is known for taking innovative steps to grow the sport on the world stage. Take the league's recent exploits in Las Vegas, for example. NRL bosses Peter V'landys and Andrew Abdo have formulated a brilliant plan to pull in more viewers Stateside through the annual season-opening festival of rugby league in the entertainment capital. The AFL has also continued to innovate, too, and perhaps one thing that Andrew Dillon and Co do better than their rugby league counterparts is draw in big acts for its annual showpiece at the MCG. The latest of those is Snoop Dogg, who revealed on Tuesday that he will be the headline act for this year's pre-match entertainment for the AFL Grand Final on September 27. The self-proclaimed Western Bulldogs fan, who has hits including 'Drop It Like It's Hot', will follow a line of big names to perform in front of the 100,000 fans who will cram into the 'G for the event. In the past, the AFL has landed the likes of pop sensations, Katy Perry and Robbie Williams who got the iconic stadium bopping with their pop hits. The Killers and rock legends Kiss both took to the centre of the Oval, while Ed Sheeran belted out some of his famous tracks in 2014. The NRL, meanwhile, has also had its fair share of big names perform at its Grand Final, including Grammy nominees OneRepublic, Gang of Youths, and Macklemore. Comparatively, the AFL has certainly appeared to have more sway in luring global talents to Aussie shores for its Grand Final. And that, according to the Editor in Chief of Rolling Stone Magazine, Neil Griffiths, is down to the talent management teams the AFL and the NRL use to book their half-time shows. The NRL has also looked to highlight local Australian acts in the past, including Amy Shark and Jimmy Barnes. 'Sony Music Australia have had a monopoly on the NRL in recent years, so that is why you are seeing a lot of their acts,' Griffiths told The Daily Telegraph. Meanwhile, talent and tour promoter Mushroom Group handle the AFL's Grand Final bookings. 'Mushroom have taken care of a lot of the AFL entertainment, and they are a tour promoter so you are seeing their gigantic names who are about to announce a tour or start a tour,' he added. While the NRL have looked to give Australian musicians the chance to take the stage at the Grand Final, Griffiths believes that this isn't always a good thing. Artists by year Year NRL AFL 2025 TBC Snoop Dogg 2024 The Kid Laroi Katy Perry 2023 Tina Turner musical Kiss 2022 JImmy Barnes Robbie Williams 2021 INXS Kate Miller-Heidke 2020 Amy Shark Electric Fields 2019 OneRepublic Tones and I 2018 Gang of Youths Jimmy Barnes and Black Eyed Peas 2017 Macklemore The Killers 2016 Keith Urban, Richie Sambora Vance Joy It is understood that the AFL's ability to pull in global superstars is due to the agents the league uses to book their talent 'I remember a few years ago they had Richie Sambora playing the grand final and a lot of people actually hated it, despite the fact he is a big name, a lot of people had a big problem with the fact it wasn't local but then you have the situation where they book the local acts and people go 'who is this'.' The other issue that both codes face is availability. Both the AFL and NRL are set to miss out this year on a plethora of big names travelling Down Under. Oasis have rocked the UK at the beginning of their reunion tour and are set to do so in Australia, as they travel down to Australia for shows at the end of October and early November, while Lenny Kravitz is also set to tour Down Under at the same time.

National Indigenous Music awards 2025: Emily Wurramara wins artist of the year

Emily Wurramara expressed solidarity with the people of Palestine and 'all Indigenous peoples around the world' experiencing oppression as she accepted the artist of the year award at the 21st National Indigenous Music awards at the Nimas in Garramilla/Darwin on Saturday night. 'There's nothing like coming back home and being here and playing for mob and playing for the people,' the Garramilla-born Warnindhilyagwa singer said. 'Because the music is about the people. The music is freedom. Free Palestine, free Congo and free all Indigenous peoples around the world from their oppressors. It always was, always will be Indigenous land.' Speaking to Guardian Australia after the ceremony, Wurramara said: 'I've been very vocal about it online … advocating for [Palestinians] and Indigenous people all across the world - it's our fight.' Wurramara also picked up film clip of the year for Lordy Lordy, shot on Larrakia country, directed by Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore and featuring the Northern Territory's Red Flag Dancers and members of Wurramara's family. Lordy Lordy was written during Australia's voice to parliament referendum. 'This song is a reminder that our people always have a voice, and always will,' the singer said. Malyangapa Barkindji rapper Barkaa, who won artist of the year at the 2024 Nimas, won album of the year for Big Tidda, her second EP, edging out fellow nominees Wurramara, 3%, King Stingray and Yolŋu funk outfit Andrew Gurruwiwi Band. The singer told Guardian the EP is 'for my tiddas - it's for my sisters, it's for the black matriarchy, it's for black women. It's a dedication to my mother, to my daughter, to my nieces, to my big sisters'. 'The Nimas are such a special night, because it's celebrating Black unity; celebrating all our brothers and sisters and countrymen from across this country, and just being able to come together. And you know, when one of us wins, we all win.' Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion Andrew Gurruwiwi Band, hailing from Yirrkala in north-east Arnhem Land, won best new talent and song of the year for their reggae-inflected protest song Once Upon A Time, addressing colonisation, the frontier wars and the Yolŋu fight for land rights. For the second year in a row, the community clip of the year, recognising young talent, was awarded to Bulman school and community in the NT, for their video Crocodile Style, in which local kids rap in English and Dalabon about the story of Korlomomo (crocodile) and Berrerdberred (rainbow bee eater) and how humans came to have fire. Jessica Mauboy, the Garramilla/Darwin-born, Kuku Yalanji and Wakaman singer and actor, was inducted into the Nimas hall of fame as part of this year's ceremony, joining the likes of Warumpi Band's Sammy Butcher, Yothu Yindi and the late Gurrumul. The award recognises Mauboy's success as a recording artist and her impact on Australian music. From her breakthrough on Australian Idol in 2006, she has blazed a trail with six Top 10 albums, 16 Top 20 singles – including chart-topping hits Burn and Little Things – and 31 Aria nominations. Last week she launched her new single, While I Got Time, co-written with PJ Harding – the first release on her independent imprint Jamally, following her exit from Warner Music Australia. Mauboy took to the stage to perform the new song, joining a lineup that included Barkaa, country star Troy Cassar-Daley, Donovan, psych-rockers Velvet Trip, gospel and blues vocalist Kankawa Nagarra, Eleanor Jawurlngali & Mick Turner, and best new talent nominees Miss Kaninna and Drifting Clouds. Reflecting on her 21-year career, Mauboy said: 'From humble beginnings in Darwin to the international stages, music has been my voice, my escape and my connection to the people all over the world. 'This hall of fame induction is not just about my achievements, but also about the message that I can send to young dreamers everywhere. I want every aspiring artist to know that their dreams are valid and attainable. No voice is too small, and every story is worth telling.'
