Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Call Off Engagement After 9 Years

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have officially ended their engagement, as confirmed by Rolling Stone today.

The couple, together since 2016 and engaged in February 2019, had navigated both a brief 2017 breakup and a whirlwind romance that produced their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020. Neither has publicly commented, but the split appears mutual and respectful.

Signs of Friction Between Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

Whispers of tension had swirled after the lukewarm reception of Perry’s latest album, 143, and her high-profile Blue Origin spaceflight. Amid her “Lifetimes Tour” and travel demands, the couple increasingly spent time apart, feeding speculation when Perry skipped Jeff Bezos’s wedding in Venice while Bloom attended solo.

Life Moves On in Venice

Days after the split broke, Bloom was spotted at Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice, warmly greeting the Kardashian clan—Kim, Khloé, and Kris Jenner. His relaxed appearance contrasted starkly with Perry’s absence, demonstrating a polite but tangible distance between them amid evolving public appearances.

Co-Parenting Takes Center Stage

Despite parting ways, the couple has pledged to prioritize their daughter. People report they remain actively committed to co-parenting. A close source shared that both are working on maintaining a stable and respectful environment for Daisy Dove, aged four, even as they adjust to life apart.

A Storied Relationship

Their romance began at a 2016 Golden Globes after-party—over a shared burger—and led to a Valentine’s Day 2019 proposal delivered via helicopter on a rooftop in Los Angeles. Beyond their daughter, Perry has credited Bloom with steadying her amid career highs and lows, including her Smile era reflections on mental health.

What Comes Next for Katy Perry?

Both are staying busy professionally. Katy Perry continues headlining her Lifetimes Tour and wrapping up the album cycle. Bloom, meanwhile, is expected to dive into new film projects and enjoy solo parenting moments—recently sighted with Daisy in Australia. Sources say the split was drawn out over months in anticipation of Perry’s tour ending; this timing was meant to shield their relationship from unnecessary stress.
