Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirm split in joint statement
The A-list couple have been dating on-and-off for nine years, before becoming engaged in 2019 and welcoming their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020.
'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,' representatives told Page Six on Friday.
The statement continued, 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.'
Perry, 40, has been in Australia for the past few weeks with her Lifetimes tour, departing the country yesterday.
Bloom, 48, briefly visited Perry and their young daughter down under last month.
He flew solo to Venice, Italy last weekend for the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

Goth basketballer wears full face of makeup for games
She's the black sheep of the game and she knows it. With a full face of make-up every time she takes to the basketball court, Goth athlete Caitlin Cunningham makes no apologies for being the standout. In fact, she relishes in the spotlight and hopes she is a role model for other aspiring athletes – or anyone too afraid to be their authentic selves. 'I've always had heavy eye shadow and a very black goth aesthetic every single game I've played in my life, that's just me, some people get it, some don't,' Cunningham told 'I've always just messed around with makeup. Then last season I did a bit of a crow, extended the eye lines out. I always thought it would be cool to have full clown makeup, but I guess this is the next level down. I have quietly extended it,' she said. How does she keep her artwork intact for the full two hours of play? 'I guess I'm lucky I have never been much of a sweater,' she said. Cunningham said being the odd one out wasn't always easy. 'I was definitely the black sheep of the sport. Basketball in Australia is very political. I was always the odd one out, misunderstood, the one the coaches didn't get. 'I wouldn't be selected, wouldn't be a favourite. It got to the point where I stopped playing WNBL for a while.' Drafted to the Canberra Capitals at 19 after three years at the Australian Institute of Sport, Cunningham moved to Adelaide then Dandenong in Victoria, gradually became 'sick and tired' of people not believing in her. 'I thought 'f**k this' and started going out and hanging out with music friends and friends in fashion, other creative people and I just stepped away from the game, I was 25,' she said. Once the pandemic hit, and imports couldn't enter the country, Cunningham had several coaches asking her to reconsider her retirement. She took a contract on the Gold Coast and is now signed to Rockhampton in central Queensland. 'My style of game? I'm quite tall and skinny and these days a lot of players are heavy and strong girls,' Cunningham said. 'I'm like a little rat that runs and jumps, my game is pure athleticism. 'I don't have the physical brute but I am very tricky, agile and I can shoot.' Cunningham has the balance just right – living in Melbourne where she is continuing her music career and is soon to release her first song, personal training clients and working with youth at the YMCA, then flies to Rockhampton for matches and training. 'I'm really lucky I am doing it all, following all my dreams,' she said. 'I want people to know they should follow their dreams, do what they love, be their authentic self,' she said. As her online fan base increases exponentially, Cunningham takes her job as a role model extremely seriously. 'I have so many fans and people reaching out to me as a player, but also as a musician and as a person,' she said. 'I'm a queer Goth and if I had that person on the internet to look up to when I was young I would have felt so seen. 'It's empowerment, that's what life is about, having people that inspire you to be you, and live the best life you can, that's priceless.'

Orlando Bloom reportedly ‘unapologetically' flirting with women months before Katy Perry split
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom secretly parted ways earlier this year — and reports reveal that Bloom was acting very single in Miami just months ago. A source tells Page Six the Pirates of the Caribbean actor was in Miami, Florida, flirting with women on a recent trip. 'Orlando was definitely with girls in Miami,' says a source. 'He's been not subtly out and about,' according to our source, who called Bloom's flirting 'unapologetic.' And another source tells the outlet that the couple had parted ways long before that. The star was in Miami on April 9 to celebrate the launch of a new MSC cruise ship. We hear he was also there during the Miami Grand Prix, which ran May 2 to May 4, along with celebs like Timothée Chalamet and Tom Brady. Reps for Bloom and Perry issued the following statement to Page Six, confirming 'that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' On June 10, Page Six exclusively reported that the couple's relationship was done. 'It's over,' a source told Page Six. 'They are waiting 'til her tour is over before they split.' Perry is on her Lifetimes tour that began on April 23 and runs through December 7. But on June 24, TMZ reported that Bloom was heading to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Italian wedding as a single man. The actor and the Firework singer first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes after-party. They got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, and welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020. Sources previously told People that stress over the poor reception for Perry's new album, 143, had caused 'tension' in the relationship. 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' a source told the outlet. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' On Wednesday, Bloom took to Instagram Stories to repost a carousel of quotes from Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung. 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate that seem important to oneself,' one quote read, which was originally shared via the Instagram account @SAPIENKIND. Another cryptic quote said, 'Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.' The pair previously split for a year in 2017. Page Six reported that at Bezos' wedding, single Bloom was having a great time. 'He was partying hard,' said a source, jokingly adding, 'and sweaty.'
