But despite plans in motion, Katy is said to be "stressed" after her last album launch with "stress" putting strain on the relationship between her and her husband.
An insider has told People that the couple have endured a "rough patch" after she was disappointed with the reception for her album 143, which came out last September.
"Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album," a source told the outlet.
They explained how it made her "very stressed" and despite Orlando being "understanding" it did cause "some tension".
A second source then revealed: "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship."
Meanwhile, a source speaking to Us Weekly stated: "They have been spending more and more time apart.
"They've grown apart and aren't living the same lives anymore."
'WEDDING DATE NEVER SET'
A different insider then told the outlet that despite having been engaged for six years, the two superstars never set a date for their nuptials.
The source claimed that they "never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything".
They also claimed "Orlando is 'over it'," adding that "things aren't good".
The U.S. Sun approached both Katy and Orlando's representatives for comment.
Last autumn, ahead of Katy's album launch, things between the pair seemed to be on the right track when they packed on PDA at the MTV VMAs.
Orlando announced Katy by her real name as he presented her with the iconic Vanguard award at the ceremony on September 12.
Fans were stunned when Orlando, whom Katy has been in a relationship with since 2016, announced the winner of the award as Katheryn Hudson.
Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom's Relationship Timeline
Fans have followed Katy and Orlando's relationship since it began in 2016. Here's a breakdown of their romance.
The lovebirds met in January 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty.
That May, the pair made their relationship Instagram official.
Katy and Orlando broke up in February 2017, which their reps confirmed after fans noticed they kept their distance at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.
They reunited a year later on vacation in Prague.
In September 2018, the duo made their red carpet debut at the Gala for the Global Ocean at the Opera of Monte-Carlo in Monaco.
Orlando popped the question on Valentine's Day the following year.
In March 2019, Orlando revealed he sold his home and had moved in with Katy.
In March 2020, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together, whom they welcomed on August 26.
Shortly before their daughter Daisy Dove's second birthday, Katy teased that she wanted to have more children with her fiance.
In May 2024, Katy had fans convinced she was pregnant again when she posted a photo of her holding a positive pregnancy test. She followed with throwback photos and videos of her sharing the news of her first pregnancy.
GUSHING SPEECH AND PDA
"Give it up for our newest Video Vanguard, Katheryn Hudson," Orlando said when presenting the award in the UBS Arena last fall.
Orlando sweetly referenced the singer's birth name, before adding, "Katy Perry!"
He then added, "You fell in love with her as Katy Perry, I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson.
"You know her as a global superstar who brings love, light and her unique sense of humor into every song she writes and every music video she creates.
"I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings that same love and joy to our family," he went on.
Not only did he give a gushing and glowing speech about his wife-to-be, but they even embraced on-stage and shared a very public smooch, too.

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin fans think baby number EIGHT is on the way after shocking 'dirty dancing' video
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin 's fans predicted they might soon be expecting their eighth child after the couple shared a racy video. The 67-year-old actor and his 41-year-old wife put on an amorous display in an Instagram reel as Hilaria dramatically danced to the Celine Dion ballad The Power of Love. The footage, shared on Wednesday, showed the mother-of-seven throwing her smooth, toned legs over her husband as he sat in a chair and admired her. Her feet were splayed on his chest as she wrote in the caption, 'Foot rub time…makes sense to me.' Followers flocked to the comments, with one writing, 'He was looking like he was gonna make baby #8.' Another fan had the same idea, adding, 'Here comes baby #8!' And another encouraging fan wrote, 'You promised him a life of fun after the storm, and you are delivering it like a boss,' referring to the dark time in Alec's life following the accidental fatal shooting of his Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021. Another person was critical, however, adding, 'Not sure why you need all this attention. It's too much!' The comment was liked 134 times from agreeing social media users. Hilaria has proudly and dutifully stood by her husband's side in the wake of his nightmare workplace tragedy. After Halyna died at the hands of Alec as he pulled the trigger of what was supposed to be a stunt gun, New Mexico prosecutors put him on trial. The actor went on trial for involuntary manslaughter in July 2024, but only three days in the judge dismissed the case permanently after it was discovered the prosecutors had failed to turn over potentially exculpatory evidence to his defense team. In January, the father-of-eight, who shares his oldest child with ex-wife Kim Basinger, filed a lawsuit against his prosecutors. But this week documents obtained by Daily Mail indicated that the case was thrown out because there had been no progress on it in months.

The actor went on trial for involuntary manslaughter in July 2024, but only three days in the judge dismissed the case permanently after it was discovered the prosecutors had failed to turn over potentially exculpatory evidence to his defense team; Alec pictured in the arms of his wife July 12, 2024 Alec's attorney, Luke Nikas, told the Daily Mail the judge's decision to dismiss the case is a 'non-event.' 'The court dismissed the matter without prejudice because we have been waiting to prosecute the case,' said Nikas, who is a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan. 'We have been in good-faith settlement discussions with the parties to the lawsuit, and will be refiling promptly if those discussions are not promptly and favorably resolved,' he added. On Instagram in December 2021, Alec paid tribute to his wife with a touching post as he shared a single image of him holding one of their sons. He wrote, 'No matter what happens to me. No matter what I suffer. If I win or lose, anything. Anything. No one can take away from me the joy and love you have given me.' The couple married in 2012 and share Carmen, 12 in August, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, nine, Romeo, seven, twins Eduardo and Maria, four, and Ilaria, two.

The Naked Gun film review: Liam Neeson & Pamela Anderson's offscreen chemistry is every bit as impressive on screen
THE NAKED GUN (15) 85mins ★★★★★ 4 IT'S shaping up for a year of unlikely bedfellows – Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, Keir Starmer and Donald Trump, and now Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. The Irish Oscar-nominated star of Schindler's List told reporters 'I'm madly in love' with the former Baywatch actress after filming this remake together. At the premieres and in interviews, they've been giggling like school kids. That offscreen chemistry is every bit as impressive on screen, with shapely Pamela smouldering as she paws at her handsome co-star. What's even more surprising is that Neeson, best known for playing the tough guy in the Taken series, is so good at comedy. Just like the late Leslie Nielsen from the 1988 original, he's a serious actor who is funny because he's not trying to be funny. It's beyond me how he keeps a straight face while wearing a skirt that reveals strawberry-pattern pants underneath. In the 2025 reboot, Neeson plays Lt Frank Drebin Jr, who is the son of Nielsen's character in the original trio of movies. As with Nielsen's Drebin he's an accident-prone Los Angeles detective who finds himself caught up in a dastardly plot. Pamela's Beth Davenport points the bumbling cop in the right direction and they fall for each other. Remarkably, Neeson turning out to be a comedy genius is not the most surprising thing about The Naked Gun. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson make out in steamy on-air moment as Today host Craig Melvin asks 'are you an item-' What's really unusual about this remake is that it's not a pale imitation of the original. Producer Seth MacFarlane, best known for the Family Guy TV series, and director Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live) have not altered the winning formula of the original film too much. It is packed with corny jokes, such as Lt Drebin telling Beth 'take a chair' and her then walking off with one of the stools. There are also edgier ones that have earned the film a 15 certification. A perfectly innocent encounter between Drebin, Beth and a dog takes on an X-rated appearance through an infrared camera. David Zucker, who directed the first two Naked Gun movies, also put adult material into his comedies. Not all of the gags work, but they come so thick and fast, I found myself laughing more than I have done in a cinema for years. It's so funny I'm even hoping for a sequel. Now, that's really surprising. DOGSPIRACY (12A) 98mins ★★☆☆☆ 4 JUMPING on the bandwagon of movies with 'piracy' in their titles, this documentary has nothing to do with canine pirates. Instead, like Seaspiracy and Cowspiracy, it is about a 'conspiracy'. British vet Dr Marc Abraham believes 'dark forces' keep puppy farms in business. He fronts this film which sets out to expose what can be a cruel trade, with dogs sometimes kept in filthy, cramped conditions. I expected lots of footage of undercover animal rights campaigners revealing such terrible behaviour, but sadly, the film's producers don't appear to have secured the rights to show much of this readily available material. Instead we see Marc watching it on his laptop in a cafe from an angle that reveals nothing. There are disturbing images of farms in Eastern Europe, but this film's focus is on the US. There, showing off his chest hair in the cold, Marc gets excited about being able to take his camera crew into an Amish puppy mill – which has heated floors and is spotless. This is no hard-hitting documentary . . . I was sold a pup. SAVAGES (PG) 87mins ★★★☆☆ 4 STOP-MOTION splendour meets an urgent call to protect the rainforest in this heartfelt animation from My Life As A Courgette director Claude Barras. In this follow-up, Barras swaps the orphanage of his debut for the endangered rainforests of Borneo. The story follows Kéria, a spirited teenager living on the edge of the forest with her widowed father, who reluctantly works for a palm‑oil plantation. Kéria's world is upended when young cousin Selaï moves in with them after his home is destroyed. The pair, along with Oshi, an orphaned orangutan, then embark on an adventure blending environmental urgency with personal discovery. The villains – swaggering plantation bosses – are rendered in broad strokes, but the film's honesty keeps it compelling. Armed only with blowpipes that fire harmless darts, the locals' stand becomes a symbol of defiance against greed and intimidation. Savages' clever blend of charm, ecological awareness and cultural respect makes it a winning, if slightly conventional, addition to contemporary animation.

Lizzo stokes controversy lampooning the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad with a message about race
Lizzo has weighed into the controversy surrounding the American Eagle campaign fronted by Sydney Sweeney, by reposting a political meme of herself. Sweeney, 27, and the denim brand have been accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational in the campaign designed to lure Gen Z customers. 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,' Sydney said in the commercial, adding: 'My jeans are blue.' In response, Lizzo, 37, - who boasts 44.7M social media followers - shared a Photoshopped meme of herself in a similar pose with the caption: 'My jeans are black…' Both Sweeney and American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein have not issued any statements amidst the white supremacy backlash, which caused the stock price to substantially dip over the past five days. A source claimed to TMZ on Wednesday that 'independent polling shows the vast majority of folks - around 70% - find the commercial appealing.' On Sunday, American Eagle curiously shared an Instagram photo of a black model fronting the same fall denim campaign after 14 consecutive posts all about Sydney. 'Throwing in a little color for some razzle dazzle,' Instagram user @lyssalive commented. 'This post screams "See, we have black friends,"' Instagram user @jaylightthevibe agreed. 'Try again.' Instagram user @speechierox commented: 'Does she have great jeans like Sydney Sweeney too or is this just damage control?' The Pittsburgh-based fashion retailer pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds from 'The Sydney Jean' (featuring a butterfly patch representing domestic violence awareness) to mental health support non-profit, Crisis Text Line. Lizzo's (born Melissa Jefferson) post coincidentally came the same day she told PAPER that she has 'great genes.' 'I love my natural face,' the four-time Grammy winner declared to the magazine. 'I look at my mother's face and I'm like hell yeah. I feel very blessed to have great genes and I wanna show it. Why cover up what God gave you?' On January 16, Lizzo announced that she had reached her weight-loss goal, lowered her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5, and lost 16% of her body fat since 2023. Both Sweeney and American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein have not issued any statements amidst the white supremacy backlash, which caused the stock price to substantially dip over the past five days A source claimed to TMZ on Wednesday that 'independent polling shows the vast majority of folks - around 70% - find the commercial appealing' Lizzo will next produce and star in a biopic about pioneering electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe, which will mark her biggest acting gig yet The Yitty co-creator - whose Halloween costume was Ozempic - repeatedly denied being on the trendy GLP-1 drug until June 19 when she confessed on the Just Trish podcast that she had tried it in the past. Lizzo will next produce and star in a biopic about pioneering electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe, which will mark her biggest acting gig yet. 'I'm not doing it because I want an Oscar,' the Crashout rapper told PAPER. 'I want to make Sister Rosetta Tharpe a household name as big as Elvis. When people talk about rock 'n' roll it begins with her.' Last week, Lizzo teased that she was 'back in the studio' ahead of the release of her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life. The Emmy-winning producer will eventually have to face her former back-up dancers - Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez - at a jury trial in Santa Monica Courthouse due to their sexual, religious, and racial harassment lawsuit. Lizzo has vehemently denied all of their allegations.
