After months of tension, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship ‘pretty much done'
According to People magazine, insiders say the relationship has been under strain in recent months, particularly around the release of Perry's new album 143. One source stated that the couple is 'pretty much done' and expressed doubt that reconciliation is possible, adding, 'It's been breaking down the last couple of months and isn't looking good.'
Perry, 40, is currently on the road for her Lifetimes World Tour and is focused on delivering top-tier performances for her fans. A second source noted that Perry is 'happy and just focused on her tour,' which is currently taking place in Australia, and that her 4½-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, is accompanying her. 'They're sightseeing and having fun,' the source added.
The pair, who have been engaged since 2019, appear to be at odds about the direction of their future. The insider explained that the couple is on 'different pages' in terms of their personal priorities, with Perry committed to her musical comeback.
Representatives for both Perry and Bloom, 48, declined to comment on the situation when approached by People.
Despite personal challenges, Perry's professional life is thriving. She recently sold out three concerts in Mexico and added a fourth due to popular demand. The Australian leg of her tour is also playing to full venues.
Earlier this year, Perry addressed public scrutiny of her work, revealing advice from her therapist that helped her remain grounded. 'What anybody thinks about you is none of your business. It's what you think about yourself,' she told People in February.
Perry last publicly referenced Bloom during a performance in May, introducing her song I'm His, He's Mine. During the show, she jokingly scolded an audience member, saying, 'If you keep on DM'ing my man, I'm going to have you removed.'
The couple welcomed their daughter in August 2020 and have been in a high-profile relationship since their engagement. However, as Perry's tour continues and the couple's priorities appear to diverge, the future of their relationship remains uncertain.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirm separation after months of transition
NEW YORK, July 5, (AP): Popstar Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have split, multiple media outlets reported Thursday. Outlets including People and USA Today cited a statement that said the pair "have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and would continue to be seen in public with their daughter. The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect.' The statement came a week after reports of the couple's breakup swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour. Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been romantically linked since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live.' In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got UNICEF to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency that helps children. Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child. Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand. Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet "Teenage Dream.' The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album "Bad.' Bloom, who is from Canterbury, England, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings' and "The Hobbit" films as well as Will Turner in the "Pirates of the Caribbean' series.

Julian McMahon, star of 'Nip/Tuck', 'Charmed', and 'Fantastic Four', dies at 56
NEW YORK, July 5: Australian actor Julian McMahon, best known for his roles in Nip/Tuck, Charmed, and as the Marvel villain Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four, has died at the age of 56. He passed away on Wednesday in Clearwater, Florida, following a private battle with cancer, which had not been publicly disclosed prior to his death. His wife, Kelly Paniagua, confirmed the news in a statement released Friday, describing him as her 'beloved husband.' She said, 'Julian loved life. He loved his family, his friends, his work, and his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible.' She also asked for privacy as the family grieves and encouraged others to 'continue to find joy in life' in his memory. Born in Sydney in 1968, McMahon was the son of former Australian Prime Minister Sir William 'Billy' McMahon and Lady Sonia McMahon. He began his career as a model in the 1980s before moving into acting, first gaining attention on Australian soap opera Home and Away in 1990, appearing in 150 episodes. His transition to international fame began with roles in American television, including Another World, Profiler, and Will & Grace. However, it was his portrayal of Cole Turner, a half-human, half-demon assassin in the hit supernatural series Charmed (2000–2003), that earned him widespread recognition. McMahon went on to star as Dr. Christian Troy, a charismatic and arrogant plastic surgeon, in Ryan Murphy's acclaimed medical drama Nip/Tuck, which ran from 2003 to 2010. The role earned him a Golden Globe nomination and solidified his status as a leading man in American television. He became known for playing complex, often villainous roles, including Victor Von Doom (Doctor Doom) in Fantastic Four (2005) and its sequel in 2007. He also voiced the character in the 2005 video game adaptation. In more recent years, McMahon starred as Special Agent Jess LaCroix in CBS's FBI: Most Wanted, leading the cast for three seasons before departing the series. Producer Dick Wolf called his passing 'shocking news,' adding, 'All of us at Wolf Entertainment are deeply saddened by Julian's passing and our condolences go out to his entire family.' McMahon's most recent roles included Australian Prime Minister Stephen Roos in Netflix's The Residence, a villainous surfer in The Surfer alongside Nicolas Cage, and a romantic lead in The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat. Australian director Stephan Elliott, a longtime friend and former schoolmate, paid tribute, calling McMahon a 'wild child' and remembering their collaboration on the 2018 film Swinging Safari. 'He never had so much fun on a film,' Elliott said. 'He went to town and left us crying with laughter after every take.' McMahon was married three times, including a brief marriage to singer Dannii Minogue in 1994 and to actress Brooke Burns, with whom he had a daughter. He married Kelly Paniagua in 2014. Julian McMahon is remembered for his charisma, versatility, and the joy he brought to fans around the world through a career that spanned over three decades.

Australia cancels rapper Ye's visa over 'Heil Hitler' release
MELBOURNE, Australia, July 2, (AP): Ye, the U.S. rapper formerly known as Kanye West, was recently stripped of an Australian visa after he released his single "Heil Hitler,' a government minister said on Wednesday. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke revealed Ye has been traveling for years to Australia, where his wife of three years, Bianca Censori, was born. Her family live in Melbourne. Burke said "Heil Hitler,' released in May, promoted Nazism. The song has been criticized as an antisemitic tribute to German dictator Adolf Hitler. "He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here. And he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again once he released the 'Heil Hitler' song and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia,' Burke told Australian Broadcasting Corp. "We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry,' Burke added. Ye's representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. Australia's Migration Act sets security and character requirements for non-citizens to enter the country. Australia's largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, have seen a spate of antisemitic attacks since the war between Israel and Hamas began on Oct. 7, 2023.
