Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom Calling It 'Splitsville' After 9 Years Together?
In relationships, communication is vital to keep the heat alive and to talk about any misunderstandings that might've occurred. When communication fails, that's when actions need to speak louder than words. Long-time lovers Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are rumoured to have quietly ended their engagement after almost a decade together. Reports say that the relationship was strained due to controversies surrounding Perry and the low reception of her '143' album. Rumours of their alleged split started on 9th June 2025, as sources from Vulture report that the pair's relationship had started to strain following Katy's '143' album and the 'Lifetimes Tour' underperforming. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension', says sources from Vulture. The singer's trip on Blue Origin had also impacted their relationship with sources saying, 'He [Orlando Bloom] always thought it was a stupid idea and she wouldn't get anything positive out of it'. Despite everything being just rumours, the couple's outside activities have seemed to further spur divorce rumours as the 'Teenage Dream' artist was seen renting out her Montecito home, which she had a three-year-long legal battle to acquire, to Chris Pratt and his wife. Sources said that Katy had previously suggested that it was the ideal place for the pair to raise their family, which included their daughter Daisy Bloom. It is a peculiar fact that she had rented the home after battling tooth and nail for what she deemed as her 'family home'. However, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are yet to publicise or comment on the split rumours. Do you think this power couple might actually be splitsville? Sources: Vulture, Hola!

Another royal abdication? King Philippe to follow in Edward VIII's footsteps?
Seems like yet another royal abdication is on the cards. But this time, it's not for the British royal family. King Philippe, the monarch of Belgium, recently opened up about when he might renounce the throne for his daughter, Princess Elisabeth, to reign. Read on to know more. What's happening? King Philippe of Belgium recently had some fun while tackling a question about when he might hand over the throne to his daughter, Princess Elisabeth. The 65-year-old monarch shared his thoughts in a cheerful interview released by The Belgian Monarchy, where he responded to 30 out of a whopping 2,614 video messages for his April 15 birthday. When asked about abdication, King Philippe offered a playful take on the idea: "A King steps back, but is not retired," according to a translation shared by Hola!. He emphasized that he would continue his royal duties while allowing his daughter the time she needs to enjoy life, grow, and travel the world. "I will continue to work for Belgium, and I must give my daughter time to enjoy her youth, develop herself, and see the world. I support her 100 percent in that, and I will do everything I can to give her all the time she needs to do," he added. Now, let's take a look at abidication, as a royal precedent. Edward VIII's dramatic exit In December 1936, Edward VIII shocked the world by relinquishing the British throne after less than a year in power. His abdication, driven by an irreconcilable desire to marry Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American, defied centuries of monarchical tradition. Reportedly, the King famously told his prime minister: 'I find it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King…. .without the help and support of the woman I love.' The crisis was swift and seismic; Edward stepped away, becoming the Duke of Windsor, and was succeeded by his younger brother, George VI. His departure set one of the starkest examples of a voluntary surrender of power in modern monarchy, born of personal conviction, not political calculus. Belgium's history of 'peaceful' abdications Fast-forward to July 2013: King Albert II of Belgium voluntarily abdicated in favor of his son, Prince Philippe. After nearly 20 years on the throne, Albert cited age and declining health as his reasons, believing that he could no longer 'fulfil [his] duties as [he] would like to,' and expressing confidence that his son was 'well prepared' to take up the constitutional role. The ceremony was somber yet celebratory – Belgian flags, parliamentary oaths in three languages, and poignant tributes to national unity amid deep linguistic divisions. King Philippe: The son who inherited the crown On 21 July 2013 – Belgium's national day – Philippe, then aged 53, was sworn in as the seventh King of the Belgians. An Oxford- and Stanford-trained former military pilot, he pledged to uphold the constitution and act as a unifying figure in a country often split by language and regional identity. His reign, so far, has been quiet, dutiful, and low‑profile – quite unlike the conspicuous drama surrounding Edward VIII's abdication and departure to a more gilded, yet detached, existence. The modern wave of abdications Belgium's abdication was neither isolated nor unprecedented. In recent years, a wave of European monarchs has offered their thrones to the next generation. Emperor Akihito of Japan abdicated in 2019 due to age and health – his first voluntary exit in over two centuries. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands passed the throne to her son in 2013; her successor, King Albert II, followed suit. Queen Margrethe II of Denmark abdicated in early 2024 – likely aiming to ensure her son, Crown Prince Frederik, could begin his reign at full strength amid swirling speculation surrounding his personal life. While it's near-impossible to think of a similar kind of scenario for King Charles III, the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom – even though he is suffering from cancer – these abdications reflect a modern view: monarchs, living longer and more active lives, may choose to step aside when they feel they can no longer perform ceremonial duties with distinction. It's a renewal strategy – passing the torch while still alive to advise and support. Paving the path for Princess Elisabeth A decade before Princess Elisabeth was born, Belgium made a significant change to its succession laws, adopting absolute primogeniture in 1991. This meant that female descendants of King Albert II would inherit the throne based on birth order, breaking the centuries-old rule that favored sons. King Philippe and Queen Mathilde are raising their four children, including Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel, 21, Prince Emmanuel, 19, and Princess Eléonore, 17, all while balancing their education and royal responsibilities. At just 23 years old, Princess Elisabeth, who's also known as the Duchess of Brabant, is the first in line to the throne and making history as Belgium's first queen regnant – its first reigning female monarch! True to her royal spirit, Princess Elisabeth is actively juggling her studies with royal duties, frequently returning to Belgium to stay engaged with public life. It'd be premature to draw a conclusion if King Philippe would be renouncing the throne for his daughter, but it's safe to say she's a busy princess making her mark!

‘Blake Lively Khaleesi Text' Trending Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit
Wondering why the phrase 'Blake Lively Khaleesi Text' is trending again? As the legal battle between Lively and Justin Baldoni continues to escalate, the curiosity about previous text exchanges between them is growing. Here are more details on the trend. The phrase 'Blake Lively Khaleesi text' has been making waves online, as her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni grows increasingly tense. The message, sent during a behind-the-scenes dispute over the film adaptation of It Ends With Us, has yet again resurfaced. This follows a major update in their court case. On June 2, a federal judge ruled that Lively's emotional distress claims would not proceed after her legal team opted to drop them. The court also denied Baldoni's request to obtain her private medical and therapy records, since those claims were no longer part of the case. Meanwhile, on June 5, Lively publicly criticized Baldoni for distancing himself from the feminist ideals he once promoted. Lively's spokesperson told Us Weekly, '19 leading survivors and organizations devoted to women's rights, children's rights and domestic violence have now signed onto four separate amicus briefs. All are united in opposing Justin Baldoni's attempt to dismantle a law designed to protect women who speak up — simply to protect himself.' The tension first started during production on It Ends With Us, where Lively was cast as the lead. Later, she reportedly became heavily involved in shaping the script. According to Baldoni's legal complaint, she pushed for significant rewrites and tried to take creative control. While Baldoni acknowledged her enthusiasm, he chose to incorporate only parts of her suggestions. That decision reportedly upset Lively. She later brought up her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and friend Taylor Swift in a conversation. The situation took a dramatic turn with a final message, now known as the 'Khaleesi text.' Drawing a parallel to Game of Thrones, Lively wrote, 'If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons.' 'For better or worse, but usually for better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you,' she added. (via Hola!) The trial of this legal battle is set to begin in March 2026. Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on ComingSoon.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Cracks Surprising Joke About Ex-Wife Maria Shriver
While Arnold Schwarzenegger typically remains mum on details of his personal life, the Terminator recently broke from his usual stance and dropped a well-timed joke about ex-wife Maria Shriver. The off the cuff comment happened during the Amazon Upfront event, where the former body builder sat on a panel to discuss his upcoming move. Related: Sources Close to Ben Affleck Say He's Dying To Have More Kids Schwarzenegger's new flick is a Christmas movie, which prompted him to bring up the older holiday film he starred in, according to Hola! magazine. 'Jingle All the Way was the greatest Christmas movie of all time,' the father of five joked of the 90s movie. 'They play it the whole month of December. I know because my ex-wife calls me about the residual.' For those who may not remember, Schwarzenegger and Shriver divorced after news broke that he had an affair with the couple's housekeeper, Mildred Baena, and fathered a child as a result of the relationship. When Shriver found out about the relationship, she decided to put an end to their 25 year marriage. Schwarzenegger rarely talks about his ex and the affair that ended their relationship, mostly because both he and Shriver have always said that they wanted to put their four children first. In fact, the last time he made a public comment about it was while he was promoting his book in 2021, right around the time his divorce was finalized. The duo must be on pretty good terms these days for Schwarzenegger to make such a comment, especially since he has been quiet about so much else having to do with Shriver. That's good news for the couple's shared children, who have probably been through a lot in the years since the news of their father's affair broke. Up Next:

Lil Wayne accused of physical abuse by ex-girlfriend Denise Bidot
Lil Wayne has been accused of physical abuse by his ex-girlfriend Denise Bidot. The rapper, 42, dated the model, 38, from around 2019 to 2022, and she has now fired a series of allegations at him including that he ended their relationship by text message on Mother's Day, leaving her 'absolutely unsure how to even process' her emotions. Denise said Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, subjected her to abuse in a string of videos and written posts shared to her Instagram Stories. She said: 'Wayne literally kicked me and my daughter out on Mother's Day today.' Her daughter, who appeared in a video containing the allegations, nodded in agreement. Denise said she had recently undergone surgery and was unable to lift boxes. 'I am five weeks out from a whole mommy makeover. I can't even lift boxes. But this man has his assistants coming to help kick us out today… and (he) broke up with me on Mother's Day through text,' she said. Denise added: 'And (my daughter's) birthday's next weekend.' Lil Wayne, 42, has not publicly responded to the claims. Denise wrote in an earlier post: 'Breaking up with someone on Mother's Day is diabolical. Prayers up though. God always pulls me through. Walking with faith.' She also shared concerns for her safety and legal standing, asking followers: 'If y'all got lawyer recommendations, please send them. 'I know he has two girls being flown in today, and who knows how many plethora of girls he has. I've been nothing but supportive to this man, loved him till the end of the f****** world.' In a second video, Denise accused Lil Wayne of more than emotional mistreatment. 'And it's not just the emotional abuse — this man has actually laid a f****** hand on me,' she said. Denise went on: 'Like, nah. Nah. And I took it. 'You know what's crazy is they always say you're so stupid for love, and I thought it was a mistake. But I know other women he's put his hands on.' Addressing Wayne, she added: 'You literally flew me, uprooted me from New York City where I was living, and brought me here for this bulls***? Like, that's crazy, you guys. Like, these men really be taking advantage.' Her relationship with Wayne began in 2019, shortly after the rapper ended his engagement to model La'Tecia Thomas. Denise and Wayne made their relationship public in summer 2020 and reconnected during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a January 2022 interview with Hola!, Denise confirmed she and Wayne had separated. She said: 'Today I feel like a much more complete woman: I learned to love, not only another person as a couple, but the world, life, to value time, my heart has opened.'
