After nearly a decade together, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have split, People magazine confirmed on Thursday (June 26). TMZ and Us Weekly also reported on the end of their engagement, citing unnamed sources.
Billboard has reached out to their reps for comment.
The news comes after weeks of reports that their relationship was struggling. But as recently as mid May, the Grammy-nominated singer gave no indication that there was any trouble in their romance. She even playfully called out a fan at one of her concert dates in Nevada, joking, “If you keep DMing my man, I’m going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life — I’m his wife,” before launching into her 143 single “I’m His, He’s Mine.”
Perry first confirmed she and the British actor were dating in a May 2016 Instagram post featuring a photo of the two together. Months later in August, their Italian vacation went viral when paparazzi snapped photos of the two paddleboarding together — but Bloom was in the nude.
Their relationship wasn’t without some trouble at the beginning. After a few months together, rumors surfaced that November they had split already. Their reps later confirmed in a March 2017 statement that the two stars were going their separate ways. But after five months apart, Bloom and Perry were spotted snuggling at an Ed Sheeran concert. The singer confirmed to Entertainment Tonight in April 2018 that the two had indeed reignited their romance.
Then on Feb. 15, 2019, the two teased their engagement with an Instagram photo of Perry holding up her ring finger, which sported a stunning ruby and diamond ring. She confirmed later that month on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that the two were indeed engaged.
The following month, the pop star dropped the music video for “Never Worn White,” which offered some big news about the couple’s life together — she showed off a baby bump, revealing that they were expecting their first child together. Daughter Daisy Dove was born in August 2020.
Bloom and Perry never married.
