'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.'

Rumors had been swirling that the longtime pair had been on the outs for a while, with an insider telling Us Weekly their breakup was 'a long time coming' and noting things between them had 'been tense for months.'
While Perry 'is of course upset,' the source shared that she was 'relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.'
Before her engagement to Bloom, the 'Roar' singer was married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.

Last month, insiders told Page Six that they were 'waiting till her tour is over' to announce their breakup. Perry has been on tour since April 23 and isn't scheduled to wrap until December.
Others claimed their relationship started unraveling after Perry released her poorly-received '143' album in September.
'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' a source told People in June. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.'

Additional sources pointed out that the 'Fireworks' songstress and Bloom hadn't set a wedding date despite him popping the question six years ago.
'[Perry and Bloom] never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything and Orlando is over it,' a source shared.
The duo first began dating in 2016. While they briefly broke up in March 2017, they were back together by February 2018.
Perry and Bloom got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019. They revealed they were expecting their first child in March 2020, with the singer giving birth to Daisy months later, on August 26.
Before his relationship with the pop singer, Bloom was married to Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr from 2010 until their divorce in 2013.
The actor and Kerr share one child, son Flynn, 13.

Todd & Julie Chrisley's Relationship Timeline: From Reality TV to Prison
The world got to know Todd and Julie Chrisley when they welcomed viewers into their life and home on their hit reality show Chrisley Knows Best. The series showcased their eccentric family and day-to-day life, and for years, viewers were entertained by the antics that took place in their household. However, things took a turn for this reality television duo when in 2022, both Todd and Julie were sentenced to 12 and 7 years, respectively, in prison for fraud. While the world assumed it would be quite some time until the Chrisleys saw freedom, the duo got the shock of a lifetime when they learned they had been pardoned by President Trump. Reunited after years apart, the duo shared that seeing each other after all that time, it was as if no time had passed. Here, a look at the relationship and marriage of Todd and Julie Chrisley. How Todd and Julie Chrisley met It was in 1996 that the Chrisley couple tied the knot, but before that, Todd was actually married to his high school sweetheart. Todd was first captivated by Julie when he saw her at a friend's house. 'The moment she walked in the room, it's the only time before and since that anything had ever taken my breath, other than when I walked past a mirror,' the television personality joked to Us Weekly back in 2022. Tying the knot in 1996, it wasn't long before they expanded their family, Todd already having two children, Lindsie and Kyle, from his previous marriage. Inside the Chrisley family tree After getting married, Todd and Julie welcomed three children: Chase, Savannah and Grayson. Additionally, they've adopted their granddaughter, Chloe, after her dad Kyle's struggle with substance abuse. After Todd and Julie began their sentences, it was ultimately their daughter Savannah who most significantly contributed to their release. During the time in which they were incarcerated, the 27-year-old influencer advocated for her parents to politicians and the public, and in the end, it was what led to their pardon. Life after prison: Todd and Julie reunited On June 28 and 29, Todd and Julie, accompanied by their children Savannah and Grayson, gave their first interviews since their release, detailing their plans for the future, what their experiences behind bars were like, and what it was like reuniting after so much time apart. 'I was never away from her because she was in my spirit the entire time,' Todd shared on My View With Lara Trump. 'I thought of her every second of my day. So, when I hugged her the first time, it was like I was home. It was not like I had been missing. I knew I was coming home to the same woman that I left. Now, when I say the same, I'm talking about in my heart spiritually.' As for the couple's future, Todd revealed on an ABC News Studio Special that they have plans of relocating to South Carolina in the hopes of acquiring a mansion and converting it to a hotel. Additionally, the family was confirmed to be at the center of a new reality show. Looking for more entertainment stories? Click through below!
