Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom Have Reportedly Been Dropping Hints of Their Split Since February
After weeks of speculation, sources have confirmed that Katy Perry and her longtime partner Orlando Bloom have gone their separate ways after nine years together. But have they been dropping clues about their breakup for a while?
According to People, the former couple started renting their $15 million home together in Montecito, Calif., back in February. And while that could mean that they just relocated to another home while still together, it's certainly a telling move given their home's history.

Katy Perry's Tearful Onstage Moment May Have Foreshadowed Trouble With Orlando Bloom
For those who didn't follow the news at the time, Perry and Orlando were sued in 2020 by the home's former owner, 84-year-old veteran Carl Westcott, who claimed he was of 'unsound mind' when he sold his property to the couple. After a years-long legal battle, Perry and Bloom, who were adamant about wanting to raise their 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove in the home, prevailed and officially took ownership of the home on May 17, 2024.
But, from the looks of it, the pair presumably lived in the home with their daughter for less than a year before moving out.
Prior to the news of their split, sources revealed to the Daily Mail about Bloom and Perry's latest disagreement. According to the outlet, their rough patch started after an 'explosive' fight about Perry's Blue Origin space flight, which happened on April 14 and was led by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' soon-to-be wife, Lauren Sánchez.
'He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,' a source close to Perry said. 'He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing.'
For Perry, who has been under intense public scrutiny following the lukewarm reception to her album 143 and the underperforming Lifetimes tour, the criticism stung, especially coming from her longtime partner. 'Imagine going to space… and your partner isn't impressed,' the source added. 'Of course she was hurt.'
Perry and Bloom were together on and off since 2016. They got engaged in 2019 and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020.Best of SheKnows

Jake Paul beats Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., another over-the-hill former champ, with ease
For the second time in less than a year, Jake Paul battered a long-past-his-prime boxing champion from yesteryear. On Saturday night, Paul defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. via unanimous decision (99-91, 97-93, 98-92) in front of an underwhelmed crowd at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The 10-round cruiserweight affair ended in Paul's sixth consecutive victory but did little to quell the notion that the YouTuber-turned-boxer is building his in-ring reputation with a fraudulent resume built on defeating big names many years removed from their heydays. Advertisement After needing little punching substance to defeat Mike Tyson in their November spectacle, Paul flashed on Saturday much of the same arsenal he's weaponized to disrupt the boxing world over the past five years: bluster on the mic, aggressive pressure in the opening rounds, and good enough footwork to tally another win, much to the frustration of another arena of fans. 'All the boos are words and action speak louder than words. So y'all can shut the f— up,' Paul said after Saturday's win, which improved his record to 12-1. 'It was flawless,' Paul said about his performance. 'I thought I did great going 10 rounds against a former world champion. He's in there with Canelo (Álvarez) and all these guys, and I embarrassed him like that.' Paul, 28, did not use his post-fight time on the mic to try and rekindle interest in a bout with Álvarez, but did call out a litany of present-day stars: Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez, Anthony Joshua, Badou Jack and Gervonta Davis. 🤣🤣🤣😩😩😩 — Badou Jack (@BadouJack) June 29, 2025 Chavez spent the first half of Saturday's fight boxing like a man unaware he could also throw punches. He didn't land a single punch in the first round. The former WBC middleweight champion — who entered the night famous for sharing a name with his legendary father and for being cannon fodder for Álvarez in 2016— mustered up enough moments in the final rounds to bring the weary crowd to its feet. But overall, Chavez spent more time in the bout complaining to the ref about legal punches from Paul than Paul has spent boxing legitimate opponents in his career. 'Jake is a good boxer,' Chavez said after the loss, but later added, 'I don't think he's ready for the champions, but he's a good fighter.' Paul and Álvarez were rumored to have been nearing a bout agreement earlier this year before Álvarez pivoted to a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season in February. As part of that deal, Álvarez will battle undisputed champion Terence Crawford in a September megafight. Advertisement Paul and Davis were also reportedly in talks for an exhibition bout this fall, but those plans fell apart after Davis and Lamont Roach fought to a draw in March, prompting a rematch. The 39-year-old Chavez last fought in July 2024, defeating former MMA fighter Uriah Hall via unanimous decision, but has now lost four of his last seven bouts dating back to 2019, a stretch that includes a 2021 loss to former UFC champ Anderson Silva, who was making his boxing debut at the age of 46. Despite that, Paul told The Athletic before Saturday's fight that taking on Chavez showcased Paul's willingness to risk his growing reputation as a boxing draw. What remains to be seen is where Paul goes from here. Will he cash in on his reputation to book a megafight of his own? Or will his path continue to be paved with the names of faded former stars from decades prior? 'Everyone wants me to fight the toughest person in the world right now, and that will happen in the next 24 to 36 months,' Paul said weeks ago. 'But I do have room to improve as a fighter, and that's the journey that I'm on.'

The Odyssey is one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, a Greek poet who is also credited as the author of the Iliad and who is often seen as one of the most influential and important authors in human history. The Odyssey follows the story of the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he journeys home after the Trojan War. Presumed dead, Odysseus' wife Penelope and son Telemachus contend with various suitors who compete for Penelope's hand in Odysseus' absence. The Odyssey is thought to have been written sometime in the 8th or 7th century BC and is one of the most important works in literary history. (Source: World of Reel)

Northern California's High Sierra Music Festival faces uncertain future amid low ticket sales
A long-running music festival in Northern California may be on the verge of its final act. The High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy is hoping for a last-minute boost in ticket sales ahead of next week's event. It's part of a nationwide trend, with festivals across the country seeing a drop in attendance. But organizers say they've come up with a few ways to bring the crowds back. "The High Sierra Music Festival is a very unique and extraordinary experience," said Dave Margulies, High Sierra Festival producer. For nearly 30 years, Margulies has helped bring the High Sierra Music Festival to life in Plumas County. Known for its bluegrass and acoustic sets and long weekend of camping, the three-day event has been a summer tradition at the Plumas County Fairgrounds since 1995. "It's a big, giant community that gathers every year, it's kind of like a family reunion," Margulies said. This year's festival runs from July 3-6. But organizers say ticket sales are at an all-time low. "We're hoping people rally and we get a big, big surge," Margulies said. Pre-pandemic, the festival used to draw 6,500 people. In the years that followed, 4,500. But with less than a week to go, they're at around 2,500. "Ever since the pandemic, we've seen a downturn in sales and I think a lot of events have seen downturns as well," Margulies said. Recent data shows festivals across the country saw a decline in music festival ticket sales between 2023 and 2024. Experts blame rising costs for tickets. High Sierra is now forced to provide 15% discounted tickets leading up to the festival, all in hopes of continuing it next year. "The value is off the charts, it adds up to about $5-$6 per band," Margulies said. They hope next week's mid-80s in Quincy may also entice people to escape the valley heat. If you'd like to get a ticket to the festival, their offering all tickets with a discount, just use the code 15SIERRA at checkout.
