Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's split blamed on 'curse' involving superstar singer as fans raise concerns
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's shock split has been blamed on a wild fan theory, The Rosé curse.
Earlier this week it was reported that the singer, 40, and the Hollywood actor, 48, had gone their separate ways after nine years together following much speculation about their romance.
And in the wake of the break-up, social media has gone wild as the recurring theory about the curse of Rosé has resurfaced online.
The Rosé curse is a fan-created online joke-turned-meme that says any big star who takes a photo with BLACKPINK singer Rosé, 28, will soon experience a breakup with their partner.
There is no evidence that the New Zealand and South Korean singer has anything to do with the demise of celebrity relationships, but that hasn't stopped fans making playful observations about the coincidences of Rosé's snaps.
Taking to X, fans shared snaps of Katy meeting Rosé backstage at the Concert Le Gala Des Pieces in January, with many remarking that she had 'struck again' amid the split.
While others penned: 'Oh nooo. Not the Rosé curse coming back faster than Blackpink's comeback teaser.'
'Omg the Rosé curse is back?'
'Soooo Katy and Orlando broke up. The rose curse is real'.
'No one can make me believe the rose curse isn't real idc.'
Other celebrity couples that have allegedly fallen victim to the Rosé curse include Taylor Swift and Joe Alwin, Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker, Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes and Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez.
Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik and Florence Pugh and Zach Braff were also thought to have been affected.
In 2021, Rosé - whose real name is Park Chae-young - shared a glam Instagram story with supermodel Gigi Hadid.
The duo stunned in the post taken in September - reshared by the X account Pop Base - enjoying an evening at the Met Gala.
Several fans expressed their concerns that the curse was 'real' amid Orlando and Katie's break-up
Just one month later, sources revealed that she and Zayn Malik split up after first sparking romance rumours in 2015.
Meanwhile in 2022, Rosé had a fangirl moment as she posed for a photo with one of her favourite artists, Taylor Swift, at the VMAs.
The Eras Tour hitmaker too appeared starstruck by the K-pop idol as she danced along to their hit Pink Venom - which the group performed live.
Just a few months later, in April 2023 rumours first swirled that she and actor Joe Alwyn broke up after six years together.
Florence Pugh and Rosé also had fans swooning as they posed alongside one another at the opening of Tiffany & Co.'s Brand Exhibition - Vision & Virtuosity - in London in June, 2022.
The pair were in visibly high spirits as they made a glamorous appearance and laughed while embracing each other in the photos.

Another celeb which seemed to fall victim to the curse was Kendall Jenner - who grinned for a photo with Rosé at the 2022 LACMA ART+FILM GALA, in the November of that year
Just two months later, Florence Pugh revealed that she and Zach Braff had split up earlier in the year during a Harper's Bazaar interview.
Another celeb which seemed to fall victim to the curse was Kendall Jenner - who grinned for a photo with Rosé at the 2022 LACMA ART+FILM GALA, in the November of that year.
Later that same month, the reality show star was said to have split from basketball player Devin Booker after reportedly striking up a romance in 2020.
News of Bloom and Perry's breakup was confirmed by sources on Thursday after weeks of rampant speculation.
The couple first got together in 2016 before splitting up and getting back together in 2018.
Bloom proposed to Perry in 2019 and they welcomed daughter Daisy Dove, now four-years-old, in August 2020.
Rumors of 'tensions' between Perry and Orlando began to surface earlier this month.
Several outlets alleged that the singer's poor-performing album 143 and the mocking she faced following her Blue Origin space trip — as well as her ongoing Lifetimes Tour — put 'stress' on the relationship.
The Teenage hitmaker has also recently been seen without her engagement ring in recent weeks.
Furthering the speculation, it was confirmed that Bloom would be attending Sanchez and Bezos' wedding without Perry, who is on tour in Australia.

The Alters: unintentionally the realest game about parenting I've ever played
Other than during that golden period when they were old enough to play games and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer but hadn't yet become evil teenagers, I don't think I'm very good at parenting. When my kids were babies I felt unnecessary and useless, a feeling I have been reminded of most days since. That's OK. We can't be good at everything. I can read words backwards and upside down but I can never find my house keys. I am brilliant at dancing to the Cure's The Lovecats on Dancing Stage MegaMix but terrible at DIY. Don't get me wrong: I love my children. I like hanging out with them socially as young adults because they are smart, funny and entertaining, but then they remember I am their dad, and everything is ruined as they ask me to do stuff then blame me for everything wrong in their lives. So I took advantage of the fact that they all went away on the same weekend to have some uninterrupted dad time and sink my teeth into a game with depth, without disturbance. That game was The Alters. I loved the concept. You are stuck on a planet and have to clone different versions of yourself to operate the base and survive. That's really clever. Even better: you create the clones by looking at your life path and picking moments when you made certain decisions that led to you becoming the Jan Dolski that you are. For example, if you select the path where you went off to study rather than entering the mines like your dad did, then you clone Jan the Scientist, an ace researcher. If you went to work on oil rigs, you create Jan Worker, a load-lightener. If you decide that all you want to do is sit on your backside all day playing with words, you become Jan Writer. (Except you don't. There is no Jan Writer option, which shows how useless I would be in a survival situation.) It's a compelling game mechanic because you are not only exploring, resource building and problem solving, you are questioning the whole nature of decision making. It makes you go back through your own life, wondering at the choices you made and what could have been different. This is horribly depressing though and I wouldn't recommend it. Stick to the game's story, not your own. The problem is that the more clones you have in The Alters, the more you have to work to keep them fed, healthy and entertained. And they are needy little bastards whose first language is Whine. It didn't matter about the fresh food I gave them, the movies I sat through or the games of beer pong I deliberately lost – the Jan Miner character was determined to be grumpy and confrontational, and Jan Scientist was constantly punchably irritating. Whenever I thought I was triumphing at managing the base – helped by a system that allows you to set up automatic production of important things like radiation filters to keep you safe, and allotting different clones to regularly do specific shifts – I would have to drop what I was doing and run around doing something else for my dependants to keep them happy. You see where I am going with this? Sign up to Pushing Buttons Keza MacDonald's weekly look at the world of gaming after newsletter promotion The Alters may be pitched as a sci-fi survival game, but really? It's a parenting sim. The very last thing I want to do with my free time. My failures in the game (and there are many) are accompanied by me screaming at the needy sods to give me a break for five minutes. My neighbours probably still think my kids are still at home. I have never felt so strongly that I am the wrong person to play a game that is so right. The script and story are strong, almost like an interactive version of Andy Weir's The Martian. Philosophical concepts are bandied around, such as Camus's idea that heroism is easy, and it's doing the normal things that is the real challenge in life. And the graphics are so distinctive and mesmerising they are works of art. The space base moves around like a futuristic take on Howl's Moving Castle. The game questions the very meaning of existence and what we're supposed to do with it, and it is moving to witness the clones react to their new reality. Some hate you, others are fascinated, but all at points bond with you over shared memories of everything from Mom's pierogies and beloved lava lamps to how you dealt with your abusive father. There is imagination and intelligence in abundance. It would make an incredible novel or animated movie. And 1990s Dominik, who had no kids or responsibilities, would have found marshalling a load of interesting, talented but whiny dependants a fun novelty. It's like The Game of Life, which was a fun board game to play as kids, but hell when we had two in the back seat of our car. Maybe The Alters is the perfect game for you to play if you are thinking about having kids. In fact I urge anyone of child-bearing or rearing age to play it immediately, to see if you are up to the task in real life or if, like me, it all turns out to be too much hard work.

Kim Kardashian's daughter North West, 12, has fans all saying the same thing about her viral video
Kim Kardashian 's tween daughter North West has gone viral for appearing in influencer Chris Smoove's latest video. The 12-year-old nepo baby, whose dad is controversy-plagued Kanye West, rocked her hair in knee-length blue braids and a gothic-inspired shirt, shorts, and sneakers. Chris, who's known for profiling celebrities and their designer threads, asked North how much her outfit cost, piece by piece. And she sent the internet into hysterics as she gave the same answer for each question: 'I don't know.' Fans convened in the comments section of the post, collectively agreeing that the youngster is 'just like' her famous father. 'Daddy's daughter,' one person wrote, along with a string of crying laughing emojis and one shrug emoji. Chris, who's known for profiling celebrities and their designer threads, asked North how much her outfit cost, piece by piece. And she sent the internet into hysterics as she gave the same answer for each question: 'I don't know' Someone else said North was 'Princess Yeezy Fasho,' referencing Kanye's popular clothing line. Another social media user declared, 'She definitely has her dad's personality for SURE.' 'She just like her daddy,' influencer Nick Yardy added.' North's interview echoed her dad's 2021 chat with Smoove, during which he answered 'I don't know' for most of the questions presented to him as he rocked an all-black ensemble. The Chicago-bred rapped did, however, divulge that the watch he was wearing at the time ran him $200,000. Chris captioned this week's video featuring North, 'How much is your outfit worth? North West Pulled a YE on me,' adding crying laughing emojis. It comes after the Kim and Kanye's firstborn of four children recently celebrated her June 15 birthday on a yacht in Mexico. Another social media user declared, 'She definitely has her dad's personality for SURE' In addition to North, the exes also share son Saint, nine, daughter Chicago, seven, and son Psalm, six. They were married from 2014 until the television star filed for divorce in February 2021. West moved on with busty Bianca Censori, 30, marrying her in December 2022, the month after his divorce was finalized. Together they're known for their outlandish public appearances, which often see the Australian architect scantily clad. Meanwhile, since leaving the YZY creator, Kim has been romantically involved with Pete Davidson, and linked to Tom Brady. The 44-year-old bombshell billionaire is currently in Italy, where she's enjoying Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding festivities. The bombshell billionaire was trolled on social media ahead of the weekend for making the Bezos wedding 'all about her' as she posted racy content to social media. The lavish celebration kicked off with pre-wedding festivities at the historic Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, where A-listers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Ivanka Trump mingled under candlelight. Some of Kim's famous family — Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and momager Kris Jenner — were also at the star-studded affair. But despite being surrounded by celebrities and an opulent setting, Kim couldn't seem to stay off her phone. She was spotted snapping selfies throughout the day — and in between her self-staged photo shoots, she slipped in a sizzling SKIMS promo, flaunting an animal print bikini on social media.

Katy Perry finds happiness Down Under amid split from Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry has found happiness in Australia following her shock split from fiancé Orlando Bloom. Rumours of a break-up kicked into high gear this week as the couple,who share daughter Daisy Dove, four, spend time apart and go without their wedding rings. Now, the US popstar, 40, has shared videos and photos to Instagram on Friday which saw her living the high life with quokkas on Rottnest Island, Western Australia. The Firework hitmaker was all smiles as she got down to the ground and posed with the small macropod which appeared to be having a snack. Katy rugged up for the cold weather in black tights and a puffer jacket, as she pulled a matching cap down low over her head. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Mood: quokka,' she captioned the gallery of images, which also contained a clip of her dancing on the beach alongside a flock of seagulls. Katy also stopped at a local supermarket and took a photo of a chocolate treat in the shape of a quokka. Daughter Daisy also came along for the trip and even got to sit at the wheel of the boat which took Katy and her entourage to Rottnest Island off the coast of WA. It comes after fan footage resurfaced of Katy weeping openly onstage in Mexico City, just weeks before her split from Orlando, 48, went public. A blizzard of rumours swirled this Wednesday that Katy and Orlando have gone their separate ways after a nine-year romance which produced their daughter Daisy. Seemingly confirming the conjecture, Orlando then went to Venice alone to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's lavish Italian wedding celebration. While he mingles with the Kardashians, goes boating with Tom Brady and gets a pep talk from Oprah Winfrey, Katy is in Australia for her Lifetimes Tour. But in an unearthed clip from the beginning of the tour in April, Katy was seen apparently battling with some private anguish onstage. The singer sang through her tears as she delivered a rendition of her 2010 song Pearl, which is about leaving a troubled relationship. At one point she took the microphone away from her face and emotionally screamed out the lyric: 'I let him rule my world!' The California born pop act then gathered herself for the next lines: 'But I woke up and grew strong, and I can still go on and no one can take my pearl.' Her Lifetimes Tour began with the Mexico City shows in April, for which she was roundly derided over her 'mum moves.' In backstage footage she posted to Instagram from the Mexican capital, she explained she had been 'struggling for the past few things with my voice, having a flu-cold thing' and also mentioned the city's famously high altitude. Her tour began in the immediate aftermath of her controversial all-female Blue Origin space flight - which was launched by Jeff with Lauren as one of the passengers. In the wake of this week's breakup reports, Orlando was spotted Thursday in what appeared to be a deep and heartfelt conversation with none other than Oprah on the eve of Jeff and Lauren's wedding in Venice. Orlando leaned in intently, hands clasped behind his back, as the queen of self-help placed her hands on his shoulders—seemingly offering him a private dose of wisdom and encouragement amid his split from Katy. While the star-studded crowd partied around them, Orlando and Oprah looked like they were in a world of their own, locked in a moment that felt more life-coach than cocktail hour. Speculation surrounding Orlando and Katy's relationship was finally put to rest on Thursday, with insiders confirming the longtime couple has gone their separate ways. The pair first began dating in 2016, endured a brief split, and reunited in 2018. Orlando popped the question the following year, and the couple welcomed their daughter Daisy in August 2020. Rumours of trouble began swirling earlier this month, with reports hinting at mounting tension behind the scenes. Sources claimed the underwhelming response to Katy's latest album 143, the backlash over her much-mocked Blue Origin spaceflight, and the demands of her current Lifetimes Tour all contributed to strain in the relationship. Adding fuel to the fire, Katy has recently been spotted without her engagement ring.
