Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom split after six-year engagement
The pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and will continue to be seen in public with their daughter, according to a statement cited by platforms including People and USA Today.
The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect'.
It comes a week after reports of the couple's break-up swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour.
Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been romantically linked since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got Unicef to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency for children.
Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child.
Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand.
Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of Noughties pop, quickly becoming one of the best-selling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems.
She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet Teenage Dream. The album produced five US number one singles, tying a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad.
Bloom, who is from Canterbury, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit films as well as Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

James Gunn confirms Superman is about an ‘immigrant': ‘Yes, it's about politics'
James Gunn has said his Superman is the story of an 'immigrant that came from other places' and of 'basic human kindness'. The DC Studios co-CEO explained the themes of his forthcoming film Superman in a new profile and the inherent political nature of the superhero. 'I mean, Superman is the story of America,' Gunn told The Sunday Times. 'An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.' Starring David Corenswet as the titular Superman, Gunn's iteration of the iconic DC hero also features Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as the villainous Lex Luther. The cast also includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer. Gunn acknowledged that the film may be received differently among diverse political groups, but added that at the core of the film lay 'human kindness'. 'Yes, it plays differently,' he said. 'But it's about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them.' On whether Superman was political, Gunn said it was, but it also aimed to start a conversation about morality. 'Yes, it's about politics. But on another level it's about morality,' the Guardians of the Galaxy director said. 'Do you never kill no matter what – which is what Superman believes – or do you have some balance, as Lois believes? It's really about their relationship and the way different opinions on basic moral beliefs can tear two people apart.' 'This Superman does seem to come at a particular time when people are feeling a loss of hope in other people's goodness,' the filmmaker added. 'I'm telling a story about a guy who is uniquely good, and that feels needed now because there is a meanness that has emerged due to cultural figures being mean online.' Fans previously hailed the return of popular Superman character Krypto the Superdog when the first trailer for the new film was released, who featured in the comics as Superman's canine companion. Gunn shared previously how adopting his own rescue dog shaped the script for Superman. 'When I first adopted Ozu, I was starting to write the Superman script,' said Gunn. 'Ozu was such a terrible, uncontrollable dog – tearing up our entire house – I thought, 'What if he had superpowers? We'd be screwed.' And thus, the filmic Krypto was born. He really just gave the script that unusual aspect that made it fun to write.' Gunn added that the cinematic Krypto was designed to resemble Ozu, using CGI technology and reference videos. Superman will be released in cinemas on 11 July 2025.

F1 is Apple's new polesitter.
F1 is Apple's new polesitter. The racing drama is now Apple's highest-grossing movie to date after generating $293 million at the global box office over the last ten days, overtaking the $221 million total intake set by Ridley Scott's Napoleon in 2023. It's a short leaderboard given that Apple has only released five films theatrically, however, and it already covers the $250 million that F1 cost to produce.
