Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom split 6 years after getting engaged
Popstar Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have split, multiple media outlets reported Thursday.
Outlets including People and USA Today cited a statement that said the pair "have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and would continue to be seen in public with their daughter.
The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect.'
The statement came a week after reports of the couple's breakup swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour.
Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment.
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 named 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 that helps 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 2000s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artistes 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 No.1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad .
Bloom, who is from Canterbury, England, 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. – AP

Actor Lee Soo Hyuk To Make An Appearance In Malaysia? Samsung Teases Special Guest
We do love a good teaser. If you're a Samsung fan, you may have already heard the news: the brand is set to release a range of new products later this year, including the Galaxy Watch series, Galaxy Z Fold7, and the Galaxy Z Flip7. These latest gadgets are now available for pre-order on the official website. In addition to unveiling its exciting new line-up, Samsung Malaysia also dropped a hint that a certain Korean star may be visiting soon. Could it be a K-pop idol? An actor? Let's find out: Yesterday (Wednesday, 9th July), Samsung Malaysia shared a photo on its social media pages, featuring the silhouette of a male Korean celebrity. 'The arrival of an Ultra foldable demands an Ultra special guest. Any guesses? 👀 Leave them in the comments!' the company wrote in the caption. Unsurprisingly, the teaser had fans buzzing with excitement and speculating about the identity of the mystery star. While there were a few interesting guesses in the comments, the majority, including G-Dragon, had one name in mind: actor and model Lee Soo Hyuk (이수혁). The speculation arose after fans recognised the silhouette, as the 37-year-old had posted a photo striking the same pose on his Instagram earlier this month. If that wasn't already obvious, the 'Vampire Idol' star even commented on Samsung Malaysia's post, cheekily asking, 'Who is it?'. He even reposted the teaser image on his Instagram. While nothing has been officially announced yet, it's clear from the teaser and the celebrity's cheeky reply that Lee Soo Hyuk is set to make a special appearance in Malaysia for an upcoming Samsung event. If everyone (highly unlikely) guessed wrong, then there's no telling what the reaction will be like. Are you excited for the 'mystery oppa' to be revealed soon? Source: Instagram

(Video) Local VFX Artist Sofian Collabs With 'Superman' Star David Corenswet
Last month, local visual effects (VFX) artist Sofian, known online as Sofyank96, shared the exciting news that he will be collaborating on a video with yet another Hollywood star. The content creator teased that he will be meeting 'Superman' star David Corenswet during the actor's media junket in the Philippines. Since posting his teaser, fans have been eagerly awaiting what the Malaysian talent has been working on in the editing room. Now that the highly anticipated film has been released (Thursday, 10th July), so too has the influencer's new promotional video with the actor. Watch: Yesterday (Wednesday, 9th July), Sofian finally released his collaboration video with David Corenswet. The skit follows the Malaysian artist as he auditions for a role in the 'Superman' film alongside the leading star. During the audition, he stands next to David and demonstrates his superhuman strength and ability to fly, all of which are later revealed to be special effects, exposing that he was cheating to land the role. When it came to demonstrating the final ability, heat vision, Sofian struggled to project beams from his eyes until David handed him Clark Kent's glasses. With them on, Sofian successfully destroyed a cardboard cut-out of a monster using his heat vision, but soon lost control and ended up damaging the camera lens. As the 28-year-old was processing what happened, the actor took the chance to promote the film. 'Auditioned to be Superman, but David was the judge. Let's just say… cheating doesn't fly❌' the content creator wrote in the caption. As expected, Malaysians expressed their excitement over Sofian's latest collaboration, once again praising him for his impressive VFX work. Many also tagged 'Superman' director James Gunn, urging him to hire the young talent for the visual effects team on his next project. With all the collaborations he has done and his skills improving with each one, it's surely time Sofian was given the opportunity to work on a Hollywood production. Watch his latest collab with David Corenswet below: Source: Instagram
