Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirm split after six-year engagement
POP STAR KATY Perry and British actor Orlando Bloom have confirmed that they have split, according to a statement released to US media outlets. The statement, obtained by Hollywood's People magazine and attributed to representatives for both stars, said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting'. It said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect' and that they will continue to be seen in public with her. 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 in Venice, which Bloom attended alone. Advertisement Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been in a relationship 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. 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 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.

Diogo Jota's best friend at Liverpool shares wedding day memory in tribute
Ex-Liverpool shot-stopper Caoimhin Kelleher has shared an emotional tribute to Diogo Jota following the heartbreaking news of his sudden death. The pair, who had been teammates for half a decade at Anfield, were quite close, with Jota even considering Kelleher as one of his nearest mates in Merseyside. They were travelling in a Lamborghini near Zamora in Spain when it veered off the road and burst into flames, killing both before emergency services arrived. Figures in the sport from across the world have paid tribute to the Premier League champion. And now Kelleher, who attended Jota's wedding to wife Rute Cardoso less than a fortnight prior to his death, has penned his own heartfelt message to his late former team-mate. "Jots. Can't believe I'm writing this right now and I'm finding it hard to put into words," read the 26-year-old's Instagram post. "I'm absolutely devastated by this news. All my thoughts and condolences are with Rute and their three beautiful kids and Diogo and Andre's family. It was a such a pleasure to get to know you over these years and to share some special memories on the pitch and even more so off it. "You became one of my closest friends in football. We bonded over all things sports watching any football match we could find often your brother Andre's game on your iPad. "I was surprised a lad from Portugal loved sports such as darts, snooker and horse racing so much and some of my best memories were having a laugh watching them with you. "You were such a fun genuine, normal down to earth and loving family man and always very competitive. I'm gonna miss our pre match programme quiz. I feel so blessed and grateful to have seen you on your happiest day, the day of your wedding and to be able to share in that day with you was special. I'll never forget it. "You were deeply loved by everyone at the club, the city and all over the world. It's gonna hurt for a long time and I'm gonna miss you so much but I feel so lucky to have got know you and have such a good friend. Love you Diogo." The testimony revealed the extent of their bond off the field, illustrated by the fact Kelleher was present for one of the biggest days in Jota's life. Kelleher, who joined Brentford in an £18million deal earlier this summer, and Liverpool let-back Andy Robertson were each present as Jota and teenage sweetheart Rute tied the knot in their hometown of Porto. Both Kelleher and Robertson were also at Jota's side when they took in some horse races at Cheltenham together in March. However, it's clear their bond ran far deeper than sport alone. Jota previously attested to Kelleher being his best friend in the Liverpool squad in a union few might have expected. When asked whom his best Anfield pal was in 2024, the Portuguese replied: "Nowadays I would say Caoimhin. There have been a few departing the squad. "We play a quiz game, we play each other. There is one on the match day programme. It is a good way to start the match day action." One fan replied to Kelleher's sorrowful post, saying: "Sorry for your loss Caoimhin. We could all see how close you are. It's absolutely devastating." Republic of Ireland team-mates John Egan and Adam Idah also responded with love heart emojis as a show of support for their countryman.
