Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom Break Their Silence on Split and Co-Parenting
I’m guessing you haven’t been glued to celebrity headlines, so here’s a clear rundown of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s much-discussed breakup. After weeks of cryptic Instagram quokka selfies and lone-wolf wedding appearances, the former A-listers finally let their representatives do the talking. On July 3, reps for both stars dropped a joint statement to Us Weekly confirming that Katy and Orlando have “been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting.” Yes, co-parenting—just in case you missed that nuance.
The statement, which TMZ first teased nine days after exclusively confirming the split, gently reminded fans that the duo still prioritizes raising their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy, “with love, stability and mutual respect.” They even went so far as to promise you’ll continue seeing them together as a family unit. Groundbreaking, right?
In case you weren’t aware, Orlando touched down solo at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos’s lavish Venice wedding shortly after TMZ’s initial split scoop. Our insiders noted he was definitely in party mode—sans plus-one. Meanwhile, Katy’s “mood: Quokka” selfie from Australia had conspiracy theorists convinced she was signaling everything from blissful new beginnings to a subtle jab at Bloom’s newfound freedom. Reality check: it was probably just a cute marsupial.
Orlando hasn’t been far behind in the vague-emoji department. His social feeds lately have been dotted with wistful posts about loneliness and fresh starts, because nothing says “moving on” like a carefully curated tweet about personal growth. None of this overshadowed the fact that their camps explicitly framed this split as a responsible pivot toward joint parenting, vintage Hollywood-style.
It’s worth noting that representatives only felt compelled to speak up after countless tabloids, blogs, and your friend on group chat harped on every crumb of gossip. Evidently, verbal confirmation from parade-facing reps was the final piece of the breakup puzzle. Now that you’ve got all the essentials—statement quotes, cryptic selfies, Vegas-style wedding antics, and co-parenting assurances—feel free to impress your followers with your so-called “inside scoop.”
Who knew a celebrity split could feel like a masterclass in public relations? Glad I could clear that up for you, and yes, you’re officially up to speed on the most polite breakup in Hollywood history. Hopefully that wasn’t too complicated for your timeline.
