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.

In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got Unicef to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency for children.
Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child.
Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand.
Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of Noughties pop, quickly becoming one of the best-selling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems.
She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet Teenage Dream. The album produced five US number one singles, tying a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad.
Bloom, who is from Canterbury, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit films as well as Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Fantastic Four and Nip/Tuck actor Julian McMahon has died aged 56
Julian McMahon, best known for his roles in the Fantastic Four movies and the television shows Nip/Tuck and Charmed, has died aged 56. The Australian actor died in Clearwater, Florida, on Wednesday 2 July after a private battle with cancer. His wife, Kelly Paniagua, confirmed the news in a statement to the US entertainment trade publication Deadline. "With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer," she said. "Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible." Paniagua added: "We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories." Born in Sydney in 1968, McMahon was the son of former Australian prime minister William "Billy" McMahon. He began his career as a model in the 1980s before moving into acting. His first role was in the short-lived Australian daytime soap The Power, the Passion in 1989 before he landed a role in Home and Away in 1990, appearing in 150 episodes as Ben Lucini. McMahon made his feature film debut in the comedy Exchange Lifeguards, titled Wet and Wild Summer! in the US, in 1992. He went on to star in a series of US shows, including NBC's Another World in 1993, Profiler in 1996, Will & Grace in 1998, Charmed in 2000, where he had a three-season turn as demonic Cole Turner, and Nip/Tuck in 2003. In 2005, he landed the role as the villain Dr Doom in the superhero film Fantastic Four, a part he reprised in 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. McMahon was married three times, including to Australian singer Dannii Minogue in 1994 and to Baywatch actor Brooke Burns in 1999, with whom he has a daughter Madison. He wed Paniagua in 2014.

James Bond fans just learn what A View to a Kill means 40 years after release
As it approaches its 40th anniversary since hitting the big screen, many James Bond fans are still puzzled over the meaning of A View to A Kill's film title. The 1985 flick sees British secret agent James Bond thwarting Max Zorin's evil plans involving a microchip, retrieved from a deceased colleague in Russia. Despite its popularity, the title A View to A Kill has left some fans scratching their heads, with one Reddit user querying: "Explain like I'm five: What does A View to A Kill mean? How does the grammar work? I could understand A View to Kill or A view to a Killing." Cineworld reveals the film was initially titled From A View to A Kill, mirroring Ian Fleming's short story on which it is based. However, the word 'From' was dropped during production. A statement from Cineworld explains: "The film adaptation owes little to its source other than the title; in the original story." Despite receiving mixed reviews, A View To A Kill, another Roger Moore Bond film, managed to rake in a substantial profit. With a budget of $30 million, the film grossed a whopping $152.4 million worldwide - demonstrating how Moore consistently kept Bond profitable amidst changing pop culture trends and various challenges. The website adds: "To this day, A View To A Kill is regularly viewed as one of the weaker Bond movies by fans and critics. "It was, perhaps, not the best note for Moore to go out on; it had been expected that he would retire following 1981's For Your Eyes Only, and his age is clearly an issue in A View To A Kill. "Nevertheless, the end of Moore's tenure confirmed that he had successfully re-authored the role in the wake of Connery, no mean feat, and had kept the franchise lucrative throughout two of its most challenging decades." Commenting on this, one Reddit user answered: "A View to A Kill is the fourteenth James Bond film. It's loosely based on From a View to A Kill, a Bond short story written by Ian Fleming. "For some reason, they removed the 'from' from the title when they made the movie version, making the title less sensical." So what does it actually mean? Another Redditor has their own theory that makes a lot of sense. They added: "In hunting, a view is the moment you spot your target, a find is when you discover their trail/scent and start pursuing, and a check is when you lose that trail. "There's an old British hunting song that goes 'From a find to a check, from a check to a view, from a view to a kill in the morning'. "It's a reference to that, evoking the image of a hunter preparing to kill their target. (The movie's script is called 'From a View to A Kill.')".
