It’s Over: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Call It Quits After 9 Years Together
After nearly a decade of ups, downs, red carpets, and raising a child together, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have officially called it quits — and the news has left fans around the world stunned.
The couple, who first sparked dating rumors back in 2016 at a Golden Globes after-party, had been through multiple breakups and makeups before getting engaged in 2019 and welcoming their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, in 2020. While their relationship always seemed to defy Hollywood odds, insiders say this time, “it’s different — they’re not planning to reconcile.”
🕊️ Why They Split
Sources close to the pair revealed that the breakup was “mutual but painful.”
“They’re at very different places in their lives,” one insider told People. “Katy is focused on her career, her next chapter post-Idol, and Orlando is more drawn to a slower, grounded lifestyle away from the spotlight.”
The couple had reportedly been living in separate homes for months, though they remained committed to co-parenting Daisy with “love and respect.”
💬 Public Silence… Until Now
While both have stayed largely silent on social media about the breakup, Katy’s latest Instagram post — a quiet, blurry sunrise with no caption — has fans reading between the lines.
Meanwhile, Orlando was recently spotted solo on a hiking trail in Malibu, looking “somber but composed,” according to eyewitnesses.
👶 What About Daisy?
Both stars have emphasized that their daughter remains their “top priority.”
“They may not be together romantically anymore,” a source told E! News, “but they are 100% united as parents.”
🌍 Fans React
The internet exploded with heartbreak and disbelief.
-
“Katy & Orlando breaking up feels like the last straw,” one fan tweeted.

Others expressed hope they might reunite down the line, citing their strong connection and family bond.
📝 Final Chapter… or Just Another Pause?
While insiders insist “it’s final,” longtime fans of the couple know they’ve survived rocky moments before. But for now, Katy and Orlando’s 9-year love story appears to have come to an end — with grace, privacy, and an emotional farewell.
Stay tuned. In Hollywood, you never really know when the curtain has truly closed.
