'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.'
Their statement comes just one week after a source claimed that the 'Last Friday Night' hitmaker and the 'The Lord of the Rings' star had split but 'are amicable.'

Rumors had been swirling that the longtime pair had been on the outs for a while, with an insider telling Us Weekly their breakup was 'a long time coming' and noting things between them had 'been tense for months.'
While Perry 'is of course upset,' the source shared that she was 'relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.'
Before her engagement to Bloom, the 'Roar' singer was married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.

Last month, insiders told Page Six that they were 'waiting till her tour is over' to announce their breakup. Perry has been on tour since April 23 and isn't scheduled to wrap until December.
Others claimed their relationship started unraveling after Perry released her poorly-received '143' album in September.
'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' a source told People in June. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.'

Additional sources pointed out that the 'Fireworks' songstress and Bloom hadn't set a wedding date despite him popping the question six years ago.
'[Perry and Bloom] never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything and Orlando is over it,' a source shared.
The duo first began dating in 2016. While they briefly broke up in March 2017, they were back together by February 2018.
Perry and Bloom got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019. They revealed they were expecting their first child in March 2020, with the singer giving birth to Daisy months later, on August 26.
Before his relationship with the pop singer, Bloom was married to Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr from 2010 until their divorce in 2013.
The actor and Kerr share one child, son Flynn, 13.

Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry breakup: Couple to focus on co-parenting daughter Daisy
Hollywood power couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, who'd been sparking speculation about their yearslong romance in recent weeks, has broken up. Representatives for Perry and Bloom, who have been engaged for six years, confirmed their separation in a statement to USA TODAY on July 3. "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," the statement read. "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," the statement from their representatives continued. Us Weekly was first to report. The announcement comes after previous reports and media speculation that Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, who share 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, had ended their nine-year relationship. People and Us Weekly reported in June that the couple had allegedly ended their engagement. Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016, briefly split in 2017 and got engaged in February 2019. They welcomed daughter Daisy in 2020. Bloom raised eyebrows in late June when he attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Italy alone. The "Lord of the Rings" alum, donning a crisp white button-down and khaki slacks, flashed a peace sign to onlookers as he left the Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice via boat. Perry had a slate of four Lifetimes Tour concerts in Adelaide, Australia, during Bezos and Sánchez's wedding weekend. After the celebrity nuptials wrapped, Bloom posted some inspirational quotes on his Instagram Story on June 30. In the first slide, Bloom re-posted a translated quote from the Buddha that read, "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most." In a follow-up post, Bloom typed up a "daily encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda," a prominent Japanese religious figure and Buddhist: "The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next." Contributing: KiMi Robinson, USA TODAY
