Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called it quits after nearly a decade of dating.
“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” a source close to the pair exclusively tells Us Weekly. “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”
According to the insider, Perry, 40, and Bloom’s split has been “a long time coming” as things between them “have been tense for months.” (The pair, who share 4-year-old daughter Daisy, have been apart since Perry kicked off her Lifetimes tour earlier this year.)
From our partners:
For now, Perry is “keeping busy” on tour “and is distracted,” the insider shares, revealing that while on the road, the pop star is “renting out” her Westcott Estate in Montecito, California.

“But her and Orlando have always lived in their other Montecito home as their primary residence,” the source continues, adding that the duo were “planning on making the Westcott home their family home but plans have changed” and “have been living apart since Katy has been on tour.”
Perry and Bloom were first romantically linked in January 2016, after they were spotted at multiple Golden Globes afterparties together. The couple briefly split in March 2017, but were back together by February 2018. Perry and Bloom got engaged on Valentine’s Day in February 2019 — and one year later, she announced in March 2020 that she was pregnant with the pair’s first baby. Their daughter, Daisy Dove, arrived that August. (Bloom is also the father of son Flynn, 14, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.)
News of Perry and Bloom’s breakup comes after reports of tension in their relationship.
“They have been spending more and more time apart,” a source exclusively told Us in June. “They’ve grown apart and aren’t living the same lives anymore.”
According to a second insider, the former couple’s inner circle was well aware of the couple’s relationship rough patch.

“It’s an unspoken thing that they are having issues and have for a while now,” the second source said. “Everyone around them knows.”
The second insider added that Bloom was keeping his struggles with Perry “close to the vest,” but had been “out and about more often” without her while she was on her Lifetimes Tour, which kicked off in April.
“Katy has been very busy working, and they are apart often,” the second source told Us. “That has caused tension.”
Despite being engaged for six years, the second insider revealed that Perry and Bloom “never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything and Orlando is ‘over it.’”

Throughout their years of dating in the spotlight, the couple have been forthcoming about their ups and downs, with Perry sharing via Instagram in April 2023 that they “continuously put in the work” to maintain their relationship.
As for Bloom, he explained in April 2024 how the pair’s fame affected their romance.
“I wouldn’t change it for anything, even when sometimes it feels like, ‘How do we do this?’” Bloom said on Trevor Noah’s “What Now?” podcast at the time. “Because we’ve got these two giant careers and lives — and hers is even … it’s like a universe sometimes.”
He continued: “But I think I just keep coming back to her and trying to hold her hand and walk her back to the sand pit and be like … we’re just gonna build a sandcastle.”
