Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirm split after dating for 9 years, ‘to focus on co-parenting' daughter Daisy
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom finally confirm split
Their representative in a new statement said, "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 co-parenting."
Katy and Orlando's priority is their daughter
It added, "They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter [Daisy Dove, 4½] with love, stability, and mutual respect." They dated for a few years before Orlando, six years ago, proposed marriage to Katy.
Recently, Katy got emotional on the stage during her Lifetimes stop in Adelaide, Australia. 'Thank you for always being there for me, Australia. It means the world," she told the audience.
Orlando recently took to Instagram to share a series of quotes by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung from the account @sapienkind. The quotes touched on topics like "loneliness" and "sadness." One quote stated that loneliness doesn't come from being alone, but from not being able to share meaningful thoughts. Another explained that even a happy life must have a balance of sadness.
A look back at Katy and Orlando's relationship, their family
They first met at a Golden Globes after-party in 2016. The two made their relationship Instagram official a few months later when they attended the Cannes Film Festival. They broke up in 2017 but got back together and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019.
The couple later announced that they were expecting their first child and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020. Their wedding, which was planned for Japan in 2020, was postponed due to the pandemic.

'Impressive antagonist': Aaron Rodgers slammed as ‘isolated' and ‘dismissive' in shocking claims from ex-NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith
DeMaurice Smith calls out Aaron Rodgers' arrogance and isolation in his new insider NFL book (Getty Images) As former NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith prepares to launch his upcoming book Turf Wars this August, early excerpts have already sparked controversy — and none more so than his scathing remarks about Green Bay Packers legend Aaron Rodgers . The pages offer a rare, brutally honest behind-the-scenes account of Smith's 14-year tenure, and Rodgers seems to be one of his main targets. Aaron Rodgers' leadership style questioned as DeMaurice Smith unleashes bold criticism in new release Aaron Rodgers, who has long carried a reputation for being outspoken and defiant, apparently left a lasting impression on Smith — and not in a good way. Recalling a players' meeting where Rodgers expressed opposition to the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement, Smith painted a picture of someone detached and disruptive. 'The god of Cheesehead Nation was isolated and dismissive,' Smith wrote. 'He sat in the back row of the meeting room, issuing loud sighs before standing for a dramatic exit. An incredible quarterback, to be sure, but an even more impressive antagonist.' That quote alone shows how deep Smith's frustrations ran. But it didn't stop there. Sharing a moment from August 2021, Smith wrote, 'My phone chirped with a text from Aaron Rodgers. 'Can you call me?' it read. Could I not run into traffic instead?' The quip underscores a working relationship that, at best, was strained — and at worst, nonexistent. For someone in Smith's position, personal tensions with high-profile players can't be allowed to derail broader union goals. But Rodgers, a future Hall of Famer and one of the league's most visible personalities, clearly didn't mesh with the leadership style or philosophy of the NFLPA head. The friction might not surprise those familiar with Rodgers' contentious public stances over the years, including his well-documented issues with both management and media. Interestingly, Smith's criticism wasn't limited to Rodgers. He also took a jab at Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, saying, 'If Jerry Jones saw a dollar bill on the ground, I truly believe he'd stop and pick it up.' The comment further illustrates the tone of the book — candid, unfiltered, and sure to ruffle some feathers in both player and ownership circles. Rodgers, for his part, recently made headlines by announcing his decision to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025 — a move that many believe will mark the final chapter of his illustrious career. With rumors swirling about his recent marriage, it appears the quarterback may be preparing to step away from football and into a new personal era. Whether Rodgers responds to Smith's remarks remains to be seen, but one can definitely say that the turf wars is shaping up to be one of the most buzzworthy NFL books in recent memory.
