Sources tell Page Six that pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom are experiencing a rough patch in their relationship.
Though not separated yet, insiders suggest things are tense, and they may wait until Perry’s Lifetimes tour concludes in December to publicly decide their future.
Touring Tensions Heighten Strain Between Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
Perry’s new album, 143, and her Lifetimes tour have faced mixed reviews, and she has reportedly been feeling the pressure. One source told People, “Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album … It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.”

The added stress from negative tour feedback appears to be straining their bond, prompting the couple to consider taking a step back after her performances wrap.
Time Apart, Possible Split
Bloom has been spotted solo in Miami this past month, fueling breakup rumors. “It’s over,” a source recently told Page Six. “They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.”
This isn’t the first time they’ve faced relationship challenges—Perry and Bloom previously separated in 2017, but reunited in 2018 and became engaged in 2019.
Cryptic On-Stage Messages
While performing in Sydney, Perry paused mid-song to reference Tim Tams, saying, “This song is about a break-up, and this Tim Tam saved me”—an odd quip considering the timeline of their rumored troubles. The emotional line sparked buzz and added a poignant moment under the spotlight.
Emotional Support on Display
On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Orlando Bloom appeared clutching his teacup poodle, Biggie Smalls, referring to the dog as his “emotional support animal.” He quipped he was “very emotional right now,” a comment many interpreted as related to the reported relationship stress.

Navigating Career & Personal Worlds
Bloom and Perry have openly discussed past tensions stemming from their differing careers. Bloom once said, “We’re in two very different pools … her pool is not a pool that I understand, and vice versa.” Their emotional dynamic is intense—they argue “hot and fast” but are quick to reconcile, which they’ve praised as part of their spark.

What Comes After the Tour?
- Post-tour decision: Insiders claim they could finalize their relationship status after December’s tour end.
- Wedding delay: They’ve been engaged since 2019 but have yet to set a date—a pain point for both amid growing uncertainty.
- Emotional well-being: Fans are watching closely, as both stars have been transparent about coping—Bloom with his support dog, Perry, via her stage moments.
