Katy Perry And Orlando Bloom Break Silence Amid Split Rumours
The Grammy-nominated singer and Lord Of The Rings actor have been in an on-off relationship since 2016, and announced that they were engaged in 2019.
However, last month, it was widely reported that the pair were parting ways after around nine years together.
Katy and Orlando had initially remained tight-lipped about the rumours for the last two weeks, but confirmed on Thursday evening in a joint statement that they were 'shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' their four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.
Revealing that they wanted to set the record straight amid the 'abundance of recent interest and conversation' about their relationship, the former couple's statement added: '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 California Gurls singer recently wrapped up the Australian leg of her Lifetimes world tour, in support of her divisive latest album 143, which was released last year.
Earlier this week, a video recorded at Katy's concert in Adelaide went viral as it appeared to show the performer fighting back tears amid rumours that she and her fiancé were no longer together.
'Thank you for always being there for me, Australia. It means the world,' she told the crowd, before composing herself and beginning a rendition of her signature hit Firework.
Orlando, meanwhile, recently shared a moody Instagram post meditating on 'loneliness,' 'sadness' and 'darkness' amid the speculation that he and Katy had split.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star has a 14-year-old son, Flynn, from his previous relationship with the model Miranda Kerr. He has also dated the actors Kate Bosworth and Nora Arnezeder.
Katy has previously been in relationships with musicians Travie McCoy, Diplo, Josh Groban and John Mayer, and was married to Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.

Nicolas Cage hails 'kind and intelligent' Julian McMahon
Nicolas Cage will remember Julian McMahon as a "kind and intelligent man". The actor died from cancer on July 2, aged 56, and his former co-star in The Surfer - the 2024 psychological thriller film - has paid a glowing tribute to Julian, describing him as "one of [his] favourite people". Nicolas told Deadline: "Such deeply saddening news. I spent six weeks working with Julian, and he was the most talented of actors. "Our scenes together on The Surfer were amongst my favourites I have ever participated in, and Julian is one of my favourite people. He was a kind and intelligent man. My love to his family." Elsewhere, Dylan Walsh - who starred alongside Julian in Nip/Tuck, the hit TV medical drama - has admitted to being "stunned" by the news. The 61-year-old actor said: "We rode this wave together and I loved him. My heart goes out to Kelly and Maddy. "Jules! I know you'd want me to say something to make you smile — all the inside jokes. All those years you had my back, and my god, we laughed. My heart is with you. Rest in peace." The late actor played Jess LaCroix in FBI: Most Wanted, the police crime drama, and Dick Wolf - who created the FBI franchise - has expressed his shock and sadness. He said: "What shocking news. All of us at Wolf Entertainment are deeply saddened by Julian's passing and our condolences go out to his entire family." Julian's passing was announced by his wife Kelly McMahon on Friday (04.07.25). In a statement given to Deadline, she said: "With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer. "Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. "We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories."
