Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry confirm breakup with 'love, stability and mutual respect'
Representatives for Perry and Bloom, who have been engaged for six years, confirmed their separation in a statement to USA TODAY on July 3.
"Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting," the statement read.
"They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect," the statement from their representatives continued.
Us Weekly was first to report.
The announcement comes after previous reports and media speculation that Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, who share 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, had ended their nine-year relationship. People and Us Weekly reported in June that the couple had allegedly ended their engagement.
Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016, briefly split in 2017 and got engaged in February 2019. They welcomed daughter Daisy in 2020.
Orlando Bloom arrives solo for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding
Bloom raised eyebrows in late June when he attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Italy alone. The "Lord of the Rings" alum, donning a crisp white button-down and khaki slacks, flashed a peace sign to onlookers as he left the Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice via boat.
Perry had a slate of four Lifetimes Tour concerts in Adelaide, Australia, during Bezos and Sánchez's wedding weekend. After the celebrity nuptials wrapped, Bloom posted some inspirational quotes on his Instagram Story on June 30.

In a follow-up post, Bloom typed up a "daily encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda," a prominent Japanese religious figure and Buddhist: "The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next."

Big Brother Cat ‘Makes Baby Belly Laugh' Like the Sweetest Sibling
Big Brother Cat 'Makes Baby Belly Laugh' Like the Sweetest Sibling originally appeared on Parade Pets. Everybody hopes that their fur baby and their actual human baby will get along. It's something a lot of people get very worried about, especially as their due date nears. What if they hate each other? How do we keep everyone safe? There comes a moment, though, when everything officially becomes worth it. For one family, that moment was on Tuesday, July 1st, when one baby's big brother cat officially became the first to make her belly laugh. She's really cracking up: The Little Hearth House has got to be the best house in the world to grow up in. This may have been the first belly laugh from the baby, but it certainly won't be the last. It was a huge relief for mom, who had been so worried the two of them wouldn't get along!In case you can't see, he's batting at a piece of dust or something floating through the air. He wanted that thing away from his new baby sister! What if it made her sneeze? Sneezing isn't fun, and he wants her to have the most fun ever. This video is a little bit of a throwback: she's grown up a little bit now, and luckily, they're still best friends. He likes her even more now: she can walk, she knows better than to tug on his tail, and sometimes she drops snacks. Toddlers are awesome! There was something so special about her being so little, though. She used to love giving him kisses, and it was just too cute: Cats and babies can get along great, but it's really on you to make sure everything stays good. When you're introducing them, it's important for you to make sure the baby doesn't overwhelm the cat. Keep hold of them on your lap and make sure not to let them grab at them! Grabbing is one of the first thing a baby learns, and it's a very important thing. However, until they get out of the Grabbing Things phase, don't be surprised if your cat chooses to avoid the baby. This big boy is so brave, though, and he's so kind! He really loves making her belly laugh! 🐶🐾🐾 Big Brother Cat 'Makes Baby Belly Laugh' Like the Sweetest Sibling first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 8, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 8, 2025, where it first appeared.

Diddy received standing ovation from fellow inmates after jury found rapper not guilty on RICO charge: lawyer
Sean "Diddy" Combs reportedly received a standing ovation from his fellow inmates after being acquitted on the most serious charges brought against him 10 months ago. After hearing seven weeks of testimony from prosecution witnesses, Diddy's jury returned three not-guilty verdicts. The group of 12 originally announced they were deadlocked on the racketeering conspiracy charge, but later chose to acquit the rapper. Diddy returned to a standing ovation at MDC Brooklyn after the verdicts were read, according to his defense lawyer, Marc Agnifilo. "They all said: 'We never get to see anyone who beats the government,'" Agnifilo told The Associated Press. DIDDY JUDGE RULES RAPPER MUST REMAIN BEHIND BARS AS HE AWAITS SENTENCING "I said: 'Maybe it's your fate in life to be the guy who wins,'" he added. "They need to see that someone can win. I think he took that to heart." The jury found Diddy not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking on July 2. He was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He could be sentenced to 20 years in prison, as each count carries a 10-year maximum. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The "Last Night" rapper will remain behind bars until his sentencing hearing, which was proposed to be held on October 3. The prosecution suggested four to five years for Combs' sentence.

WATCH: DIDDY TRIAL WAS A 'COLOSSAL FAILURE BY THE PROSECUTION,' ATTORNEY MARK GERAGOS SAYS He claimed Diddy genuinely desires improvement and "realizes he has flaws like everyone else that he never worked on." "He burns hot in all matters. I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there's no amount of fame and no amount of fortune that can erase them," he said. "You can't cover them up." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The Associated Press contributed to this report.
