Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry met in January 2016 and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019.
The "Woman's World" singer gave birth to their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, on August 26, 2020.
The couple split in June 2025, according to TMZ and People.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split, six years after they got engaged on Valentine's Day and five years after they welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove.
Both Perry and Bloom had been married before. Bloom shares a son with his ex-wife, supermodel Miranda Kerr, while Perry was briefly married to comedian Russell Brand.
Throughout their nearly decadelong relationship, Perry and Bloom have shared many details about their blended family and "spiritual evolution."
Here's a complete timeline of their relationship and public milestones.
Bloom and Perry were spotted getting very close at CAA's 2016 Golden Globes after party. Anonymous attendees told Us Weekly that the two were also seen dancing together.
"Katy and Orlando Bloom had a total dance-off — it was the best part of the party," one source said. "Katy literally dropped to the floor and was waving her booty around, beckoning Orlando."
Perry later told Jimmy Kimmel that she and Bloom hit it off at the awards ceremony.
"We bonded over an In-N-Out burger about three years [ago] at the Golden Globes. He stole one off of my table," she said in 2019. "He took it, and I was like, 'Wait! Who — oh, you're so hot. Fine, take it!' And then I saw him at a party, and I was like, 'How are those onions resting on your molars?' He's like, 'I like you.'"
After Us Weekly confirmed their "fun hookup thing" in February and they were spotted at Coachella together in April, Bloom and Perry appeared to purposefully avoid each other in public.
An anonymous attendee of the amfAR Gala at the Cannes Film Festival, which took place on May 19, 2016, told Us Weekly that Bloom and Perry would whisper to each other from adjacent tables throughout the evening — but the in-house photographers "were advised not to take any pictures of the pair when they were chatting."
It appears that Bloom and Perry spent more time together in France than paparazzi and photographers were able to capture.
When Perry posted a photo of the couple in Cannes on Instagram, many took it to be an official confirmation of their relationship.
The two were photographed paddleboarding while on vacation together in Italy — and Bloom made headlines for going nude.
"It was extremely surprising," he later told ELLE UK about the photos. "I wouldn't have put myself in that position if I'd thought it would happen."
On February 28, 2017, amid rampant breakup reports, representatives for the two stars confirmed their split to "Entertainment Tonight": "Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time."
Two days later, Perry tweeted, "U can still b friends & love ur former partners!"
Three years later, Perry told SiriusXM's CBC Radio One that she was close to suicide after their breakup, which coincided with the rollout of her fifth album, "Witness."
"I had broken up with my boyfriend, who is now my baby-daddy-to-be, and then I was excited about flying high off the next record," Perry said. "But the validation did not make me high, and so I just crashed."
Fans were divided over their relationship status when Bloom and Perry were seen attending Ed Sheeran's concert together.
Less than one month later, Perry addressed the reported reconciliation on Sirius XM.
"I think people are in and out of your life. It's nice to keep people you love around you," she said. "For me, it's never so extreme. So, when you get older, lines get blurred. And you know what, I'm really busy. I'm about to go on tour for another year."
Bloom told ELLE UK in November 2017 that he and Perry were "friends."
"It's good. We're all grown-up," he said. "She happens to be someone who is very visible, but I don't think anybody cares what I'm up to. Nor should they. It's between us."
Amid reports of their reunion and flirty social media exchanges — which included Perry tagging Bloom in a flirty Instagram story — the singer confirmed in an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" that she was in a relationship.
"I have been spoken for and speak for myself," she said, "and I'm very happy!"
Just days later, Bloom accompanied Perry on a visit to Rome, where she was scheduled to be one of the speakers at the United to Cure event.
Perry called Bloom "my darling" in a video of the two on their way to the Vatican, where they met Pope Francis side-by-side.
The couple attended the Gala for the Global Ocean together in Monte-Carlo, Monaco.
The pop star was performing at One Love Malibu, a fundraiser held at King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas, California, for those affected by the Woolsey Fire. She auctioned off a date with Bloom, which would include a motorcycle ride and lunch.
"You're holding him in a way that I am not excited about," she said when encouraging fans to bid for the prize. "You're holding his pecs and his six-pack — and it's so glorious. … You get to hold on to Orlando for about 45 minutes … and then, you get to stare into his brown eyes!"
The bidding reached $20,000 thanks to one excited fan named Laura, but Perry wasn't having it.
"Laura, I'm sorry. I'm buying it for $50,000," she said, before dropping the microphone and walking off stage.
Fans were divided over the gesture and couldn't decide if it was sweet or annoying.
Later that month, Bloom posted a photo of a holiday card that included Perry's name; the name of Bloom's son, Flynn; and the names of all their pets. The couple also announced their pledge to reduce their use of plastic.
Both stars posted the same close-up couple shot on Instagram, featuring a massive flower-shaped pink diamond on Perry's left ring finger.
Bloom wrote, "Lifetimes," while Perry captioned her post, "full bloom."
Perry's mother posted (and later deleted) photos of the couple apparently at a Valentine's Day-themed engagement party. "Look who got engaged on Valentine's Day!!" she reportedly captioned the images on Facebook.
Three months later, Perry shared details about the elaborate proposal during an interview with Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp.
"It was Valentine's Day and I had to work that day," she said. "I just remember meeting him at dinner at this place, this Italian restaurant, because when I get a pass, I just want to stuff my face with pasta."
"So I get there and, I mean, he's like clean-shaven. He's not wearing tennis shoes. I'm like, 'Ah shit, something is going down!'" Perry continued. "I got on a helicopter and he asked me to marry him, and then we landed on this building and then went downstairs and my family and friends were there and the most flowers you've ever seen."
"It's important to me that we are aligned — I've been married and divorced and I don't want to do it again," Bloom said during an appearance on Today. "And we're both fully aware of that. She's remarkable and so I'm always so impressed with that and I'm encouraged."
In her Vogue India cover story, Perry described Bloom as "very real."
"He's not the number one fan of Katy Perry, but he's the number one fan of Katheryn Hudson," she told the magazine.
"Orlando is like a sage. When we first met, he said we would pull the poison out of each other, and we really do," she continued. "It's exhausting, but we really hold each other accountable. I've never had a partner who was willing to go on an emotional and spiritual journey like Orlando. It's challenging, because you're facing all the things you don't like about yourself. It's like a never-ending cleanse."
Perry revealed her pregnancy in the music video for a new song, "Never Worn White."
"I've never worn white / But I'm standin' here tonight / 'Cause I really wanna say 'I do,'" she sings in the ballad, which nods to how she wore a gray wedding dress when she married Russell Brand.
After the music video launched, Perry confirmed her pregnancy during an Instagram livestream and said she's due summer 2020.
"There's a lot that will be happening this summer," Perry said. "Not only will I be giving birth, literally, but also figuratively to something you guys have been waiting for."
That "something" turned out to be Perry's sixth studio album, "Smile."
The couple apparently threw a gender reveal party in early April. Perry posted a photo of Bloom's face, covered in what looks like pink icing.
"It's a girl," she wrote.
Perry released "Daisies" as a single from "Smile." The music video features a visibly pregnant Perry, walking through fields of flowers and exploring nature.
"They said I'm going nowhere, tried to count me out / Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house," Perry sings in the chorus. "They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me / 'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies."
In an interview with The Times of London, Perry said she and Bloom are bound together by "spiritual evolution."
"He's very sensitive. Very emotionally evolved," she said. "He gets up at 7 a.m. and chants for an hour. One of the things that binds us is our desire to be more spiritually evolved? And our desire to investigate that realm? One of our main love languages is the spiritual evolution."
"We love mysticism, conspiracies, aliens, all that stuff. We love an adventure of the mind. That's definitely something we are bound by."
As Goodwill Ambassadors, Perry and Bloom's birth announcement was posted by UNICEF on Instagram. The post was shared alongside a donation page to "help every mother and newborn get the care they need."
"We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," the couple told UNICEF.⠀"But we know we're the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was," they continued. "Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes."
"In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB's arrival. By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child."
"It was funny because when she first came out I was like, 'Oh it's me it's a mini-me!' Then, fortunately, she got those Katy blues which was perfect," Bloom told Ellen DeGeneres.
The actor, who practices Buddhism, also told the talk-show host that he begins every morning by chanting and Daisy "soothes a bit" when she hears his voice.
"She responds very nicely," he said. "It's like I'm a baby whisperer. I'm definitely winning daddy points."
Perry gave an update on motherhood during an interview with People.
"Daisy is great," she said. "She is a combination of both me and her father, which we are fearless with lots of chutzpah and just big characters. So the combination of us both is definitely coming out."
She added: "It's amazing to see everything new again through a toddler's eyes."
During an interview with Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, Perry said the couple originally planned to get married in Japan in 2020, but it was postponed due to the pandemic.
"It's a destination location," she said. "We're still trying for it to work out."
She added: "Every couple of months it's like, 'New variant! New variant! New variant!'"
When People asked if Perry sees more children in her future, she replied, "I'm a planner," adding, "So we'll see."
The chart-topper had previously told Chelsea Handler that she didn't think she'd become a mother until she met Bloom.
"I wasn't very maternal and I think that probably stems from some childhood stuff," she said during an episode of Handler's podcast.
"Orlando, I got to see what a great dad he was with his first child, Flynn," she continued. "So that definitely, primally influenced me — something inside of me said, 'You, mid-30s. This man is nice. Must breed. He is a kind man.'"
For the March 2023 cover of Flaunt, the actor discussed challenges that he and Perry face, describing her as his "baby mama and life partner."
"We're in two very different pools," Bloom told the magazine. "Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands."
Bloom added: "Sometimes things are really, really, really challenging. I won't lie."
Perry released "Lifetimes" as the second single from her seventh album, "143." She said the song was inspired by her 4-year-old daughter.
"It is funny how sometimes you're looking for your soulmate in a partner. It could be a dog, your mum, your best friend, your cat. But for me, it came in the form of Daisy," Perry shared during a listening event, per People. "I wrote 'Lifetimes' about her."
"Every night, before we go to sleep, I say, 'I love you,'" Perry continued. "Then I ask, 'Will you find me in every lifetime?' and she says, 'Yes.'"
The song title may also be a nod to Bloom; it's the same word that he used in his Instagram caption when announcing his and Perry's engagement.
"143," released the following month, also includes an explicit nod to Daisy in the final track, "Wonder."
"Stay free, little Daisy," Perry sings in the second verse. "Don't let the envious ones say that you're just a weed."
During an appearance on Alex Cooper's podcast "Call Her Daddy," Perry gushed about Bloom and credited The Hoffman Process, a weeklong therapeutic retreat, with repairing their relationship after she initiated their 2017 split.
"He went there, and then he came back, and he wasn't playing this cat-mouse game anymore with me," Perry said of Bloom's experience. "And I was like, 'This is boring. I'm moving on.' I was so used to this push-pull... I was playing games. 'Cause it was a dopamine hit, right? It was what I knew."
"I had a really tough year and I finally went to Hoffman towards the end of that year that we were separated," she continued. "And then I got the tools and spoke the same language. And it changed my life. It saved my life."
Perry added that she and Bloom go to couples therapy on a regular basis, praising Bloom for being steadfast and supportive during low points in her life.
"It's been different layers. The more we do the work, the more we find the next level," she said. "And sometimes we get stuck, and we're like, 'OK, let's go in to do the work and this is going to be annoying, and I don't want to do it. We don't have the time. I'm tired.' But we're gonna do it. And we find the next level. That's why we're continuing in the relationship."
Perry was honored with the Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where she performed a career-spanning medley of hits.
Shortly after Perry wrapped her performance with "Lifetimes," Bloom joined his fiancée onstage.
"You fell in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katherine Hudson," he said.
"I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings that same love and joy to our family," Bloom continued. "In moments when we've most needed it, her music and the remarkable world she creates have brought a sense of joy and laughter, inspiring generations of people from all over the world. She loves with her whole heart, and it's kind of irresistible. I see her reflected everywhere in our home, in her love for her work, but especially in her love for her fans. Congratulations on this honor, baby. I'm so proud of you."
Following tabloid rumors that Perry and Bloom had clashed over Perry's recent trip to space, TMZ reported that Bloom would "make his debut as a single man" at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez' wedding in Venice.
Shortly after, Bloom did arrive in Venice alone. (Meanwhile, Perry is in Australia for her Lifetimes Tour.)
On June 26, 2025, People confirmed reports of their breakup, but offered no further details.
Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
