It's over. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly parted ways after nearly 10 years together. The couple won't be at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding and now we know why.The "I Kissed a Girl" hitmaker and her fiancé Orlando Bloom have reportedly called it quits, leaving fans wondering if one or both of them would attend the lavish nuptials in Venice. While the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his soon-to-be wife Lauren Sanchez walk down the aisle, Katy will be thousands of miles away performing in Australia.The wedding is due to take place over the next few days in Italy but Katy is on tour Down Under until June 30, according to Hello Magazine. This means the singer is unable to make it to any part of the festivities and will miss out on her friend's big day.Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom started dating in 2016 after they met at a Golden Globes afterparty. They split for about a year in 2017, and announced they were taking 'respectful but loving space'.The couple rekindled their relationship before Bloom proposed in front of Perry's friends and family in 2019 and their daughter Daisy Dove arrived the following year. Bloom also has a 13-year-old son, Flynn, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.A source close to the couple told Us Weekly, 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.'The breakup was 'a long time coming. [Things] have been tense for months,' the source said, adding, '[They] have been living apart since Katy has been on tour.'A second source explained distance contributed to their issues: 'Katy has been very busy working, and they are apart often. That has caused tension.' The insider noted that despite their years-long engagement, they 'never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything, and Orlando is 'over it.''They are prioritizing their daughter now, a source close to them told the outlet. 'They are still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together,' the insider explained. 'Orlando brought Daisy to meet Katy on tour before heading to the Bezos wedding. It's not messy between them.'The source added that Perry is currently renting out her Westcott estate in Montecito, Calif., as she continues to travel around the world performing.While Orlando has not yet been spotted in Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding, there's every chance he will attend in Katy's absence.Katy and Lauren both took the Blue Origin flight into space earlier in the year, and Katy joined Lauren for her Paris-set bachelorette dinner in May and so she was expected to attend.The breakup comes after the 40-year-old pop star went to space, drawing significant backlash amid viral videos trolling her world tour and her poor-performing album 143. The pair were already on the rocks when Perry made the widely-derided 11-minute trip to space in April. The Blue Origin flight, led by Sánchez, quickly became a PR disaster.Katy Perry received little to no support from Bloom who blasted the "embarrassing" debacle during an explosive row."He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous," a source in Perry's camp told the Daily Mail. "He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing. This was in the middle of a fight, and it hurt her feelings.""Of course she was hurt," the source continued. "Imagine going to space — motherf****** space — and your partner isn't impressed. She hoped he'd be more supportive."Far from resolving their issues, tensions heightened as talk turned to who was going to attend Bezos and Sánchez's upcoming nuptials.
