Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Announce Separation After Six Years Together
Pop star and actor prioritize co-parenting their daughter Daisy Dove amidst split.
In a surprising development, renowned pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have confirmed their separation after a six-year relationship, which included a brief engagement. According to reports from various US media outlets, the couple's representatives issued a joint statement clarifying that they have shifted their focus over recent months towards co-parenting their four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
The couple remarked on their commitment to raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect in the wake of what they term an "abundance of recent interest and conversation" regarding their relationship status. Katy, 40, and Orlando, 48, initially began dating in 2016, briefly split in 2017, but reconciled and became engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019.
Their daughter was announced to the world during the music video for Katy's single "Never Worn White" in 2020. Born later that year, Daisy Dove was celebrated by UNICEF, the organization for which both Perry and Bloom serve as goodwill ambassadors.
The announcement of their split comes after a challenging year for Katy Perry. Her latest album, titled "143," and its lead single, "Woman's World," have not garnered the success her previous works achieved. Furthermore, ticket sales for her current tour have not matched her past performances. Additionally, Perry and several other high-profile female celebrities faced public criticism after their space voyage with Blue Origin earlier this year — an experience Perry described as leaving her feeling "battered and bruised."
Perry, who became a household name in 2008 with her chart-topping hit "I Kissed A Girl," and Bloom, known for his roles in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Lord of the Rings," have both previously experienced marriage and family life. Bloom shares a son, 14-year-old Flynn, with model Miranda Kerr, showcasing the importance of blended family dynamics amidst their recent separation.
