US celebrity couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split after being together for nearly a decade.
The news of their separation comes after Bloom was spotted attending the high-profile wedding celebrations of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice as a 'single man'.
According to "TMZ', Bloom is reportedly embracing his newly single life following his rumoured split from the 'Roar' hit-maker, while the singer is on her "LifeTimes Tour" in Australia and will not attend the star-studded wedding.
The separation rumours have been making the rounds on the internet for the past few weeks after Perry was spotted without her diamond engagement ring while on tour.

The 40-year-old was also spotted without the ring in her latest Instagram post.
To add fuel to the fire, while performing, the singer made a cryptic comment about a break-up onstage, which sparked curiosity amongst fans about her relationship.
In the middle of her performance of her 2008 heartbreak anthem 'I'm Still Breathing', Perry was handed a packet of chocolate biscuits.
She said, 'This song is about a break-up, and this Tim Tam saved me.'
That left fans speculating if she is referring to her and Bloom, hinting that they have now gone their separate ways.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean" actor and 'I'm His, He's Mine' singer first sparked dating rumours in 2016 at the Golden Globes after-party.
In the same year, the pair publicly confirmed their relationship after Perry posted a picture of Bloom on Instagram.
However, the couple separated a year later but went on to patch things up in 2018.
In 2019, the pair announced that they were engaged after Perry debuted her flower-shaped cluster with a deep red centre stone engagement ring on Instagram.
The singer debuted her baby bump in a music video in 2020 and welcomed her first child with Bloom, Daisy Dove Bloom.
They have since made multiple public appearances together, and in 2022, rumours of the two planning their wedding started swirling around; however, they have not yet tied the knot.
Despite the break-up news making the rounds on the internet, the pair have not yet confirmed or denied the rumours.

Is it safe? Cape Town influencer swims into weird ocean foam and the internet reacts
TikTok sensation Michelle Sky Hayward dives into Cape Town's murky waters, sparking a wave of reactions online. Image: TikTok TikTok user and content creator Michelle Sky Hayward leaves netizens scratching their heads after taking a deep dive into what seems like bubbling sewer water. Generally, most people know to steer clear of dodgy-looking water; however, Hayward seems to have taken the phrase 'diving into the unknown' quite literally. The content creator, who has since gone viral, shared a video of herself swimming in the mysterious-looking foamy water in Cape Town. 'I'm having so much fun, I literally don't even feel the cold,' she told the camera, moments before taking an unintentional gulp of the questionable water. Hayward then screamed and laughed after some water went into her mouth, saying it tasted 'salty'. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Not only has the mother of one gone viral on social media, but she has also made the international news headlines for her unconventional swim. The adventurous fitness enthusiast has since posted a video on both Instagram and TikTok confirming that she is 'not an American tourist' and is a local to Cape Town, swimming in the sea 'at least once a week'. She said, 'I actually didn't smell anything when I went into the sea; it smelled like the normal ocean smells. 'I did notice that the water was super murky, and it is usually clear in that spot. There was also a lot of foam that I hadn't seen before. But I honestly loved the foam. I felt like I was in a bubble bath; it was so cool.' The video's comments section was filled with people baffled by the water's murky appearance. Viewers were quick to point out the obvious signs of questionable water quality, with many left wondering how Hayward didn't notice. 'I refuse to believe this is raw sewage and it doesn't have the worst smell … how did you not smell it?' asked @nsreemxx. 'As humans, we have a natural aversion to things that don't look or feel right. Even if they didn't know the exact reasoning, people would not want to get in this water upon seeing it. But I guess not everyone,' said @RedScarf.
