Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom, known for their relationship since 2016, have confirmed their split, as reported by major US media outlets. The couple, who share a four-year-old daughter, announced their decision through a joint statement, emphasizing a shift towards co-parenting. Their statement reflected an intention to maintain a loving and supportive family dynamic, focusing on their daughter’s well-being.
The announcement comes in light of the “abundance of recent interest and conversation” surrounding their relationship. The two briefly parted ways in 2017 but reconciled shortly after, becoming engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019. Perry's pregnancy was revealed during the music video for her single "Never Worn White," with their daughter Daisy Dove's birth celebrated by UNICEF later that year.
The past year has not been easy for Perry. Her recent album, "143," along with the lead single "Woman's World," did not receive the same acclaim as her earlier works. Additionally, her current tour has seen a decline in ticket sales, a stark contrast to her previous popularity. Perry, who faced backlash over a Blue Origin space trip earlier, expressed feelings of being “battered and bruised” from the scrutiny.
Perry’s journey to fame began with the hit single “I Kissed A Girl” in 2008, paving the way for chart-topping songs like “Roar” and “Firework.” Bloom, on the other hand, is known for his roles in major film franchises like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Lord of the Rings" and was previously married to Miranda Kerr, with whom he shares a son, 14-year-old Flynn.
