Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry officially confirm they have split
The pop superstar, 40, and her 48-year-old actor fiancé announced the split in a joint statement to US media.
'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, per People magazine.
'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter [Daisy Dove, 4] with love, stability and mutual respect.'
The relationship had been under heavy scrutiny in recent weeks as Perry embarked on her world Lifetimes Tour, which included dates in Australia last month.
Bloom joined Perry and their daughter for her Perth shows, but the reunion came just a few days after he reportedly blasted her widely criticised April space flight.
According to a New York Post report, Bloom slammed the flight as 'embarrassing' and 'cringeworthy' while the pair were in the middle of a row, but travelled to Perth a few days after the altercation was reported.
Despite his criticism of the space flight, Bloom then attended the wedding of the man who made it possible, Jeff Bezos, when he married Lauren Sanchez in a lavish multi-day celebration in Venice last week. Meanwhile, Perry continued her Australian shows.

Nostalgic reason Aussies are heading to Japan
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. If you haven't been to Japan this year, chances are you know someone who has. According to the Japan National Tourism Organisation, the first few months of 2025 saw 429,000 Australian arrivals in Japan - a 28.6% increase from the same period in 2024. And, there are plenty of reasons for this. Japan has delicious food, a unique blend of modern and traditional experiences, and a great exchange rate. But, it turns out there's one more nostalgic aspect drawing Aussies there - and honestly, it might convince me. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Image: TikTok / @maybemackenzie RELATED: Aussies sick of frustrating act targeting bushland 'They have the cheese toast!' Aussie TikTok creator @maybemackenzie shared his experience this week heading to a Sizzler in Japan. 'When I saw there was a Sizzler in Japan, I thought, I have to go in,' he said. 'And, they have the cheese toast!' An absolute Aussie icon - despite first opening in the US back in 1958 - Sizzler was open Down Under from 1985 until November 2020, when it was unfortunately a victim of the pandemic. 'I'm pretty sure every Australian has been to Sizzler, and I really miss it,' he said. A Sizzler restaurant in Brookside, QLD before its closure in 2017. Image: Josh Woning. 'I think I need to go to Japan now' Aussies in the comments were shocked to see a Sizzler in Japan. 'I'm beyond jealous, you win at life,' said one person. 'THE CHEESE TOAST,' another said. 'I miss Sizzler so much,' said a third (and don't we all). 'MY CHILDHOOD,' another commenter said. Others said they hoped they'd be able to incorporate it into their own Japan trips. 'Excuse me sir WHERE IS THIS - research purposes obvi,' one person said. 'I think I need to go to Japan now,' said another. 'That's it, I'm going to Japan for Sizzler,' another person said. They're everywhere! In (kinda) good news for Aussies, it's not just in Japan that you can find a Sizzler. Once upon a time, you could find Sizzlers in Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore, and China - in addition to Australia. However, all of these have now closed. Now, there remain locations in Japan, Thailand, and across the United States. Originally published as Nostalgic reason Aussies are heading to Japan
