Katy Perry And Orlando Bloom Spotted On Holiday Together Days After Confirming Split
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly been enjoying a holiday together just days after confirming rumours that they had called off their engagement. Last week, the former couple issued a joint statement responding to widespread rumours that they were parting ways after being together on-and-off for nine years. 'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,' a spokesperson said. The statement added that the two will 'continue to be seen together as a family', noting their shared priority 'is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect'. Just days later, People reported that Katy and Orlando were seen on a yacht off of Italy's Amalfi Coast, where they were joined by their friends, newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Lauren and the I Kissed A Girl singer were part of the same space flight back in April, travelling on the space tourism rocket Blue Origin, owned by the Amazon founder. Katy is currently on a break from her Lifetimes world tour, in support of her much-derided 2024 album 143, which wrapped up its Australian leg last week, meaning she was unable to appear at Bezos and Sánchez's much-publicised wedding. She will resume the tour on Thursday night with a second string of shows in North America. The Grammy nominee and her now-ex first got together in 2016, splitting up the following year, before rekindling their relationship in 2018. Katy and Orlando then announced their engagement in 2019, and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020. Orlando also has a 14-year-old son, Flynn, from his previous relationship with the model Miranda Kerr, who People reported had also been holidaying with his dad, half-sister and Katy in Italy.

'Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were doomed from the start for one sad reason'
As speculation intensifies around Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's reported split, relationship expert Dr. Laura Muldoon shares her view on why their romance, though filled with passion, was likely doomed from the start. From conflicting lifestyles to unresolved emotional needs, their relationship faced challenges that even love couldn't overcome. In recent weeks, The Pirates of The Caribbean actor, 48, has hinted at trouble in paradise and moving on with his life after it was reported that he and popstar Katy, 40, have called it quits. Orlando's cryptic inspirational messages come as Katy is currently travelling Australia with her Lifetimes tour. The I Kissed A Girl singer has been documenting her wild nights out Down Under, with many fans on X insisting that she looks as though she is living the 'single life' again and 'thriving'. The Hollywood pair have faced ongoing speculation over their relationship in recent weeks, with reports of "make or break talks". Neither Orlando or Katy have yet to confirm if the reports are true following their whirlwind romance which spanned almost a decade. Here, we take a look at all of the reasons why Katy and Orlando were 'never going to work out', according to the relationship expert. Career and schedule clashes Katy's packed touring calendar and Orlando's film commitments meant they were constantly pulled in different directions. 'They've been spending more and more time apart,' say insiders. On this, Dr. Muldoon explains: 'When two people lead drastically different daily lives, emotional connection suffers. It's not about lack of love - it's about lack of shared time.' Creative conflict and emotional drift Both stars are high-achieving creatives, but their ambitions often sent them down different paths. Reports claimed Orlando once called Katy's space project 'embarrassing,' and insiders hinted at tension over her album's lacklustre reception. 'She thrives on public creativity,' says Dr. Muldoon. 'He seeks grounding. Without shared values, frustration and resentment take hold.' Parenting priorities out of sync With Orlando, 48, co-parenting son Flynn from his previous relationship with Miranda Kerr and sharing daughter Daisy with Katy, 40, family dynamics added pressure. Experts agree that blended families - especially under the spotlight - can strain even the strongest relationships. 'They clearly love Daisy,' one source said, 'but they realised they needed to protect her by stepping away.' Dr. Muldoon notes: 'When parenting priorities don't align, it creates long-term friction.' Communication breakdown The couple reportedly tried couples therapy to save their relationship, but the emotional gap proved too wide. Katy once admitted she needed 'real work,' while Orlando confessed their rhythms didn't always match. Dr. Muldoon says: 'Therapy can improve communication - but it can't fix fundamental differences in values, pace, or expectations.' Pressure points from touring Their split reportedly coincided with Katy's intense Lifetimes tour and the underwhelming response to her album 143 . 'Big career moments often shine a spotlight on what's working - or what's broken,' says Dr. Muldoon. 'If one partner is in crisis and the other feels overlooked, the relationship becomes unbalanced.' Co-parenting comes first Despite the breakup, both stars remain focused on raising Daisy in a supportive environment. 'They've chosen peace over drama,' says one source. Dr. Muldoon adds: 'That's a healthy decision. Ending a relationship with respect, especially when children are involved, is a sign of growth.' Final verdict "Katy and Orlando's relationship was passionate but unsustainable", says the relationship expert. "Their divergent lifestyles, emotional needs, and parenting challenges created a divide that therapy and love alone couldn't bridge." The pair had one of the pop-world's most talked-about romances when they first met 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty and quickly hit it off, eventually making their relationship official in May 2016. However, the relationship hit rocky waters when the pair temporarily split up in 2017. They then reunited and got engaged on Valentines Day, 2019 and a year later, Katy confirmed that she was pregnant with Orlando's baby. The pair were set to be wedded in Japan early 2020, until Covid hit, and they were forced to postpone. In summer 2020, they announced the birth of their first daughter. However, five years on and the pair are allegedly no longer together after a decade of dating. A source told US Weekly: "Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable." Their last sighting together was March 2025 at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
