Katy Perry's dramatic move as Orlando Bloom parties in Italy following reported split
Katy Perry has seemingly taken action to block out the noise as she enjoys some time off in Australia amid claims she and Orlando Bloom have broken up.
It's been widely reported that the Roar singer, 40, has been telling her inner circle that their relationship of nearly 10 years is over. The pair share a daughter, Daisy Dove, four.
Perry is currently performing her Lifetimes tour in Australia, and eagle-eyed fans have now noticed she's disabled comments on Instagram.
Bloom was also spotted in Australia recently, with a source telling People that it was in order to have some 'special dad and daughter time'.
'Daisy's very cute. Orlando was in a great mood and made every outing fun for her,' the insider told the publication.
'He looked like a very caring dad.'
Despite being on the exclusive guest list for Lauren Sanchez's hen's party earlier this year, Perry will not be at her star-studded wedding to billionaire Jeff Bezos in Italy this weekend.
Bloom, however, has been seen partying with A-listers, including Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who are gathered in Venice for the multimillion-dollar nuptials.
Speculation about Perry and Bloom's relationship has hit fever pitch in recent days, with The Sun reporting the singer had told friends it was over months ago.
'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done,' the source said.
'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter.
'But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin.
'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message.
'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.'
The couple have dated on and off for nine years after first sparking up a romance in 2016. They got engaged in 2019, and welcomed their daughter the following year.

Aussie bloke baffled over barista's ‘creepy' coffee act to girlfriend
A Sydney man's dilemma over his girlfriend's special treatment at their local coffee shop has gone viral, prompting a flood of advice from thousands of viewers. Jake Craig explained in a TikTok that he moved in with his girlfriend, Beth, to a suburb that's new to him but not to her. Mr Craig, keen to establish a nice morning routine with his girlfriend, always offers to make her a coffee at home each day using a French press. But Beth, a self-confessed coffee enthusiast, prefers to get her caffeine fix from their local cafe, which she's been visiting for about three years. 'They know her, they know her order, the main guy knows her name, and everyone knows each other,' he explained. Most of the cafe staff have even begun to recognise Mr Craig and are 'friendly enough,' he says. However, things took a turn when Beth took a week-long break from her local haunt, and upon her return, was greeted with an extremely warm welcome. 'The main guy said, 'Oh Beth, it's been so long, we missed you.' He looked over his shoulder at one of the staff and said, 'Oh, he really missed you.'' Things heated up when her coffee cup that day arrived with love hearts drawn on it and the words, 'my love' – from the man who supposedly missed her. The next time she visited, her cup read 'my secret' and then the third, 'My secret love'. Each time, Beth returned home giggling about the situation, seemingly amused by the attention. Mr Craig, for his part, insists he isn't 'threatened' – but described the whole situation as 'crazy' and 'odd', before turning to the comments for advice. Many suggested practical solutions – like getting an espresso machine at home, or buying Beth a reusable coffee cup that can't be written on. Others simply praised the couple for being able to laugh about the situation. 'Can we just appreciate the healthy relationship, though? The fact you can all just laugh about it,' pointed out one. However, not everyone was laughing. Some thought the responsibility was on Beth to put an end to the barista's behaviour. 'Kinda curious why Beth isn't setting the record straight?' asked one person. Another said Beth needed to 'put in the boundaries'. Others called out the barista's behaviour. 'If someone flirts with me and knows I have a partner, I get very upset that they're so happy to blatantly disrespect my partner to my face,' one user said. However, one fellow barista argued that cafe staff often joke around with regulars like this and don't mean any harm by it.

Holly Valance splits from husband after 13 years
Former Neighbours star Holly Valance and UK billionaire Nick Candy are divorcing after 13 years of marriage. Friends told The Sun that the Australian actress and singer had split from her property tycoon husband in recent weeks. Right-wing glamour couple Holly, 42, and Nick, 52, were last photographed together in March, heading out for lunch in London. A family friend said: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family. 'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. 'This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family.' Nick, who is the treasurer of Nigel Farage's Reform, met Holly in 2009 and proposed two years later. They married in 2012 in a £3million California ceremony in front of 300 guests, including Simon Cowell. Holly found fame on Neighbours as Felicity 'Flick' Scully before launching a career as a pop star. Her 2002 debut album Footprints spawned three hits, including Kiss Kiss, which went to No 1. Nick started his property business with brother Christian in the early 1990s while working in advertising. The pair now have a vast portfolio, including One Hyde Park — made up of 86 luxury apartments in central London — worth just over £1billion. Last year, Nick announced he had shunned his Conservative Party membership in favour of Reform. He was appointed as the party's treasurer in December and pledged to raise tens of millions for Mr Farage, including giving a seven-figure sum himself. Holly has become a high-profile figure in right-wing politics. She visited US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in 2022 with her husband and Mr Farage. She also attended former Tory PM Boris Johnson's wedding in 2021. And she is credited with encouraging Mr Farage to run for Parliament. On her political views, she said last year: 'Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, then realises what crap ideas they all are.' A spokesman for the couple said: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.'
