Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom 'waiting to announce their secret split'
Singer Katy Perry and British actor Orlando Bloom are reportedly on the verge of splitting up. The couple, who share 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, are said to have ended their engagement but are holding off announcing the sad news until Katy has concluded her world tour.
The Roar hitmaker, who was once married to Russell Brand, began dating the Pirates of the Caribbean in 2016 and the pair got engaged in 2019, the year before they welcomed their daughter into the world.
But after almost a decade together, it's claimed the famous pair have decided to call it quits following a tough few months professionally for Katy.
The mum-of-one, 40, suffered humiliation when her latest studio album was panned by critics, and her recent trip to space also saw the I Kissed A Girl singer slammed by many.
An insider claims Katy's album 143 flopping impacted her relationship, with the source noting: "Orlando was supportive, but it caused some tension." PageSix reports that Katy and Orlando are waiting until her current tour, Lifetimes, concludes on December 7, before making their split public news.
"It's over," said the source. "They're just waiting until the tour is done before they split." The Mirror has contacted representatives for Katy and Orlando for comment on this story.
Despite rumours of a separation, Orlando was on hand to support Katy during her space venture in April. Katy kissed the ground and held a flower in the air as she returned from her Blue Origin trip to space and revealed she will write a song about the experience.
The 40-year-old sang Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World as she and the six-woman crew, also made up of CBS Mornings presenter Gayle King, former rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, astronaut Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn and Jeff Bezos's partner Lauren Sanchez, entered space.
A video of the crew was shared by Blue Origin on Twitter showing the six women as they reached zero gravity and were able to float around the spacecraft before looking at the camera and saying in unison, 'taking up space'.
Katy is also seen holding a daisy which she later held to the air after emerging from Bezos's New Shepard NS-31, to honour her daughter Daisy, before kissing the floor, and Bezos then congratulated her to which she replied: 'Thank you.'
Speaking after her return to Earth, the Roar singer said: "I feel super connected to love, so connected to love. I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you, like how much love you have to give and how loved you are until the day you launch.'
Speaking about the tribute to her daughter, Katy explained: 'Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through any condition, they go through cement, they go through cracks, they go through walls, they are resilient. They are powerful, they are strong, they are everywhere.
"Flowers are to me, god's smile, but it's also a reminder of our beautiful Earth and the flowers here, and god's smile and the beautiful magic that is everywhere, all around us and even in a simple daisy. So to really appreciate it and remember it and take care of it, protect it.'

School banned my daughter, 12, from ‘diversity day' for wearing Union Jack dress – the reason was ridiculous
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GIRL was banned from a school's cultural diversity day — for wearing a Union Jack dress. Heartbroken pupil Courtney Wright, 12, was told: 'You get to celebrate being British everyday, this is for everybody else.' Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Heartbroken Courtney Wright, 12, was told she couldn't join in as 'being British is celebrated every day' Credit: Roland Leon 4 Courtney's furious dad Stuart Field slammed the school for 'virtue signalling' Credit: sUPPLIED 4 Girl Geri Halliwell in her iconic Union Jack dress Credit: Alamy The Year 7 pupil teamed her dress — similar to the one worn by Spice Girl Geri Halliwell in the 90s, above — with a matching bowler hat. She also planned to read a speech celebrating tea, Shakespeare, fish and chips and the royals. But the grade-A student was stopped by teachers who gave her the option of wearing a second-hand uniform instead. Courtney refused before her dad Stuart Field, 47, arrived to collect her from Bilton School in Rugby, Warwickshire. Last night, he slammed the school for 'virtue signalling' and said he had since received a grovelling apology. The dad of five told The Sun: 'Her head of year bizarrely said that if she had worn a suit of armour or a nurse's outfit, she probably would have been allowed. "It's ridiculous. The irony is they were having a cultural diversity day and yet they singled out a group of people. 'She's a grade-A student and they have vilified her and punished her for being proud of being British.' He said a mum told him her son was banned for wearing a farmer's outfit. The marine engineer, from Coventry, added: 'This was Courtney's interpretation of British culture and what it means to her. Homeowner divides opinion with Union Jack driveway as some praise 'patriot' but others say it'll 'knock £20k off house' "Their response goes against all the school's inclusion policies. She was segregated from the kids taking part.' Before last Friday's event, head Jayne Delves wrote to parents: 'This special day is dedicated to recognising and celebrating the rich cultural diversity within our school community. "Students across all year groups will have the opportunity to take part in a variety of cultural activities.' In her speech, Courtney hoped to say: 'We have lots of traditions including drinking tea, our love of talking about the weather and our Royal Family. 'We have amazing history, like kings and queens, castles and writers like Shakespeare.' She would add: 'Sometimes at school we only hear about other cultures — which is great because learning about different countries is interesting and important. 'But it can feel like being British doesn't count as a culture, just because it's the majority.' The school responded: 'We deeply regret the distress this has caused and offer our sincere and unreserved apologies. We've since spoken directly with the pupil and her family to listen to their concerns and reflect on how this could have been handled better. 'We are committed to learning from this experience and ensuring every student feels recognised and supported.'

Royal caught napping at Wimbledon days after major celeb 'dozes off' on centre court
The Royal was pictured falling asleep just days after another famous face was snapped having a nap in the stands Primarily reserved for members of the British Royal Family, foreign royals, heads of state, celebrities, and former champions, all eyes are often on the Royal Box at Wimbledon and all movements are caught on camera. However, one particular Royal was spotted nodding off during the Men's singles final on Sunday, July 13. Lord Frederick Windsor attended the Men's Singles final at Wimbledon on Sunday, July 13 with wife, Sophie Winkleman. The couple were seated in some of the best spots on centre court. Lord Frederick is the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and is 54th in line to the British throne. His father, Prince Michael of Kent, is a first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II. The couple were seen enjoying the sporting action but seemingly forgot that all actions were being captured on camera, reports the Express. Pictures from the event showed the Royal with his eyes closed, propping up his head with one arm, appearing to doze off multiple times. After a brief nap, he woke up and joined in the applause and cheering as the tennis tournament continued. Frederick, aged 46, looked dapper in a blue suit, a white shirt and a powder blue tie. Sophie, on the other hand, who is an actress, wore an elegant white dress adorned with tiny strawberries. Sophie turned heads with baroque-style pearl earrings and a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses to keep the sun at bay. Tennis enthusiast, Lord Frederick Windsor, was also spotted indulging his love for the sport, having graced the Championships on day two, day nine, and day 12. But it wasn't just royalty that snoozed amidst the thrill of this year's acclaimed tennis contest. Social media buzzed when BBC viewers caught Hugh Grant apparently dozing off during a match at Centre Court. The 64-year-old was there to soak in the Men's Singles Quarter-Final between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli. Accompanied by his wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein, the film star settled into Centre Court seats. A segment broadcast showed Hugh in the Royal Box, donning shaded sunglasses with his head dipped slightly forward. BBC Sport posted the moment that went viral on X, quipping: "It's all got a bit too much for Hugh Grant," followed by emojis signalling laughter and sleep. Spectators chimed in, noticing Hugh's drowsy moment, and shared their animated thoughts online. A viewer couldn't help but comment on X: "Not even Djokovic can keep Hugh Grant awake today." A second joked: "Well done Hugh. Exactly what I would have done in the sun." A third concluded: "Merely resting his eyes". In the end, Jannik Sinner fought back to beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in four sets and win Wimbledon for the first time in his career. The Italian No. 1 seed is now a four-time Grand Slam champion. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.
