Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom split after six-year engagement
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.

Julian McMahon's heartbreaking last message to daughter before dying aged 56
Former Home and Away star, Julian McMahon, shared a heartwarming public exchange with his lookalike daughter Madison Elizabeth just a few months before his shocking death aged just 56 News that the beloved actor Julian McMahon has died from a secret battle with cancer has sent shockwaves through Hollywood. But it's his last public message with his lookalike daughter, which shows just what a special man he was. Julian shot to fame as Ben Lucini in the much-loved Australian soap Home and Away in 1990 and has continued to grace our screens with his acclaimed acting and dashing good looks for the past three and a half decades. Yesterday (July 4), his wife, Kelly Paniagua, confirmed he had tragically died on Thursday, aged 56, following a secret battle with cancer. Now, his final public message with his only child, Madison, 25, who he shared with ex-wife Brooke Burns, has been uncovered - showing what a doting dad he was. READ MORE: 'Oasis mania led me to my hubby - you won't believe what we did at our wedding' Madison posted a video of herself teaching her first yoga class, writing in the caption: "Taught my first yoga class today. I guess dreams do come true." Her dad was quick to write a supportive comment underneath the post, congratulating his adult daughter for achieving her dream job in Miami, reports MailOnline. "Your awesome!" he wrote, to which Madison playfully replied with: "No YOU'RE awesome!" Despite being estranged from her mother, it would seem the father and daughter had a loving relationship, as another exchange between the pair in 2023 saw Julian consoling Madison over the death of her dog. "To the best puppy there is and ever was, my love for you is infinite Sandy," she wrote alongside a tribute post at the time ".I will forever be missing you until we meet again." Julian responded with: "Love. That's it! Right there. Thank you!" The actor was married to Madison's mum, Baywatch star Burns for two years before they split in 2001, one year after their daughter was born. He went on to marry former model and children's book author Kelly in 2014 after 11 years of dating. After leaving Home and Away, the actor made his name in Hollywood, recently starring alongside Nicholas Cage in the Stan original film The Surfer. The Stan official Instagram account posted a tribute to the actor on Saturday, "We're heartbroken to hear of the passing of Julian McMahon. "His extraordinary talent and presence left a lasting mark on everyone he worked with, including the team behind The Surfer." Australian producer Robert Connolly also paid tribute to the actor, "Julian was an exceptional gentleman, a consummate professional, a stunning actor and an absolute delight to work with. "His performance in The Surfer is a triumph—one among many great performances in an incredible career—and a tour de force celebration of his skill and presence on our screens. "His huge commitment to the film took Julian from the beaches of Western Australia, to its world premiere in Cannes, to the US and beyond, and we were all so very lucky to have shared this journey with such a gifted and exceptional performer. "A true gift in all our careers to have had the chance to work together with such a wonderful person."

Coleen Rooney and Wayne's 'biggest test yet' amid warnings
Wayne and Coleen's new reality show could be the making of 'brand Rooney'– but an expert warns they have to be genuine and unguarded Coleen and Wayne Rooney have battled cheating scandals, public humiliation and the Wagatha Christie court case, but their latest roles – as reality TV stars – could be their most testing experience yet. The couple have agreed to star in their own docuseries, which promises 'unprecedented access' as Wayne 'swaps training for the school run' and Coleen continues to bolster their already hefty bank balance with her entrepreneurial endeavours. Produced by the team behind Rooney and Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, the Disney+ show will give viewers full access to the couple and their sons – Kai, 15, Klay, 12, Kit, nine, and Cass, seven. And a source told the Mirror the couple, both 39, are 'up for conquering the world ' with the series. 'They could be bigger than not just the Beckhams, but the Kardashians,' said the source. 'Obviously, Wayne's work as a manager hasn't gone as they'd have hoped, but they're seeing this as a new chapter. There's been so many rumours and so much drama around them, they're going to set the record straight on a few things too.' Wayne was sacked from his role as Plymouth Argyle manager at the end of last year and is yet to sign another contract. His stint as a school-run dad could continue, as last month he reportedly turned down an offer to manage Macclesfield FC. According to PR guru Dermot McNamara, their fee for the 10-part series will give their finances a significant boost, but it's not going to be without its potential pitfalls. 'This will be their biggest test yet because, even though they've been famous since they were teenagers, we haven't ever seen what their lives are really about,' he told the Mirror. 'People think making a reality show is easy, but it's not. It's going to be extremely intense for them.' Dermot believes the reality show will reveal a different side to the pair. 'They're one of those couples who we think we know a lot about, but actually we don't,' he said. 'There's so much we don't know about them, like how they talk to each other, how they interact and relate to their families or how they parent. We're going to get a fresh perspective on who they are.' While we got to see a dressed-down Coleen in the Australian jungle last year, our expert believes she was careful not to give too much away. 'Coleen's stint on I'm A Celebrity raised more questions than it answered because she let people in, but was still guarded,' he said. 'She didn't really address Wayne's past infidelities and a lot of viewers were left thinking, 'How do you actually live with being so publicly disrespected?'. She's sufffered a lot of heartache in the past. Now we're actually going to see how she does it.' The childhood sweethearts first got a taste of fame after Wayne made his debut for Everton in 2002. A year later, he became the youngest ever England player, aged 17. Since then, Coleen has stuck by him through his troubled twenties, when he admitted to drinking until he'd 'almost pass out'. Sordid scandals, including Wayne's visits to sex workers and threesomes, have also hit the headlines. During that time, the WAG managed to bank upwards of £15 million through exercise DVDs, books and clothing deals. Her appearance on I'm A Celeb, where she was runner-up, added a reported £1.5 million to the pot. But their reality show will bring them a lot more than cash, Dermot said. 'Just because you're famous and have a lot of money doesn't mean you're immune to bad press or irrelevance – every brand can tire, even the Rooney brand,' he said. 'Even with their family name, they need to remain relevant, otherwise Wayne would just be seen as a footballer from back in the day.' David Beckham 's four-part docuseries, Beckham, was a good example of when a reality show pays off, Dermot added, explaining that the 2023 Netflix hit introduced 'brand Beckham' to a younger audience. 'We've seen 'brand Beckham' and we're seeing 'brand Rooney,'' says Dermot. 'They can do a show like this and not have it be quite as distorted by audiences as it would've been back in their early days. People are more mindful of mental health and duty of care. It's not the Wild West any more.' Dermot also had a few words of advice for creating a hit. 'The Rooneys need to be authentic and real,' he added. 'They shouldn't try too hard to be seen as relatable. They became millionaires before they turned 18 and we know they live a life totally different to ours – and that's OK. They need to make sure they don't hide from that and don't be condescending to the audience.'
