Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s Relationship Hits a Snag: What’s Really Going On?
It seems like another day, another celebrity couple on the brink of disaster. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, the power couple that has been making headlines since 2016, are reportedly facing some major issues in their relationship. According to sources, tensions between the two started growing back in September 2024, when Katy’s album “143” received a less-than-stellar critical reception. Because, you know, an album’s success is directly correlated to the health of one’s relationship.
The couple’s relationship allegedly became even more strained when Katy kicked off her Lifetimes tour in April, causing them to spend more and more time apart. I mean, who needs quality time with their partner when you can be on tour, right? A source told People that Katy was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews, which “put stress on their relationship.” Stress that could potentially be alleviated if they, I don’t know, communicated with each other like adults.
But Katy’s busy career isn’t the only cause of the alleged split. Reports have also accused the pair’s years-long engagement of causing issues, with one source telling Us Weekly that they “never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything.” I guess that’s what happens when you’re too busy being engaged to actually get married.
Orlando, meanwhile, has been keeping a low profile, but he did make an appearance at the premiere of his new film Deep Cover at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival on June 10 without Katy by his side. Because, you know, a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do. Katy, on the other hand, shared a cryptic message about heartache while on stage in Sydney for a concert on the same day. During her performance of her breakup ballad “I’m Still Breathing,” she took a brief break to open a packet of Tim Tams gifted to her by a fan and eat one of the cookies. Because, priorities.
The couple has been together since 2016, and they’ve had their fair share of ups and downs. They got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019 and share a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. Despite the rumors, neither Katy nor Orlando has publicly addressed the split speculation.
In related news, Katy Perry’s birthday tribute to Orlando Bloom was a real treat. She shared a never-before-seen photo from when she was pregnant with Daisy, who was born in August 2020. The throwback showed the couple cradling her baby bump. She also posted an old photo of the stars brushing their teeth. Because, you know, that’s what you do when you’re in love.
As for what’s next, well, that’s anyone’s guess. But one thing’s for sure: the tabloids will be keeping a close eye on these two. And if you’re still invested in this relationship, well, congratulations. You’re a glutton for punishment. Tune in next time for more bad decisions and questionable life choices.
