Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom split after six-year engagement
The pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and will continue to be seen in public with their daughter, according to a statement cited by platforms including People and USA Today.
The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect'.
It comes a week after reports of the couple's break-up swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour.
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.

Love Island sex offender Stephen Bear marries teen bride in Brazil
Bear was jailed in 2023 after a jury found him guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films Bear gets down on one knee as he serenades his new wife Disgraced Celebrity Big Brother winner and convicted sex offender Stephen Bear has married his teenage girlfriend in Brazil. Just 18 months after he was released from prison for sharing a sex tape of his Love Island ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison, the 35-year-old announced the news in a series of Instagram posts on Friday. A number of videos of the reality star serenading his young bride have appeared online, including one showing him singing Frankie Valli's 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' as he spins 18-year-old Miami around the dancefloor. Donning a pink suit for the ceremony, Bear, who revealed in January that he had relocated to Brazil to live with Miami - captioned the post: 'My wedding. Mr and Mrs Bear.' Other photographs feature the couple's wedding cake with figurines of the newlyweds and in others, their wedding rings. In January, Bear revealed he had relocated to Brazil where he filmed himself on the beach with his much younger girlfriend. Bear gets down on one knee as he serenades his new wife Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 5th 'The police can't catch me now,' he declared. 'Life's good. I thought I'd come on here guys and say I love you all, simple as that. I love you all. 'Stay true, because this year I'm fully active, I'm off licence. The police, they could still be after me, but I'm in Brazil. They can't catch me now. Catch me if you can. 'I'm just chilling out,' he added while drinking a beer, 'licence is finished, police is finished. I can be completely left alone, ready to enjoy my life now. 'All my conditions are just lifted. Now I can post on social media, that was the main condition, watch this space.' He then turned the camera around to show his girlfriend while boasting: 'I'm in Brazil, I don't know if you've heard. This is my 18-year-old Latina girlfriend, say hello baby.' Since he was freed after serving half of his sentence, he has been making a living as an adult content creator on X-rated subscription site OnlyFans, according to MailOnline, where he sells videos of himself for $20 each. While he still has 193,000 Instagram followers and claims to be a millionaire, he has set up a GoFundMe campaign to build a 'Christ The Bear' statute that he claimed would rival Brazil's famed Christ The Redeemer. Bear shared pictures of his wedding to Miami online Bear, from Loughton, Essex, was jailed in 2023, after a jury found him guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films. He was also ordered to hand over the money that prosecutors say he earned from illegally sharing the footage on OnlyFans. Meanwhile, his ex Georgia who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jack Stacey, is set to become the first Love Island star to be awarded an MBE for her efforts on tackling violence against women and girls. Harrison waived her right to anonymity as she campaigned for stricter laws around revenge porn. She told the Proceeds of Crime hearing at the time: 'I had to live in fear that this was going to come out and my family were going to know about it. 'It was just like the worst feeling you can ever possibly imagine. I felt violated, I felt embarrassed - I hated myself for a really long time.' The criminal trial heard how Harrison and Bear had consensual sex at his home in Loughton, however, she did not know they were being filmed nor did she consent to the film being shared. Last year, Georgia released her memoir Taking Back My Power: Our Bodies. Our Consent in which she reflected on her experience. The couple celebrate their big day 'It's a hard read,' she admitted to the Mirror. 'There was a lot of traumatic things that happened to me very close together, but I hope that people can be inspired and hope I can truly help people going through hard times to navigate their journey and to have a bit of faith that it's not the end and there are tools to get through those moments. 'And once you do there's always something on the other side.' Bear who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, and Ms Harrison were captured having sex on CCTV cameras in Bear's garden on August 2, 2020. Bear, who has also appeared on Ex On The Beach, claimed at Chelmsford Crown Court that he deleted the footage that day and had shared it with no-one other than Ms Harrison. But a jury later found him guilty by unanimous verdicts of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress. He was also found guilty of voyeurism, by a majority verdict of 10 jurors
