The Reason Behind Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's Split Revealed: Former Couple Has Quietly Transitioned to Co-Parenting

After nearly a decade together, pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have officially confirmed their split. In a joint statement released in early July, the former couple revealed they had quietly ended their romantic relationship and had been focusing on co-parenting their daughter, Daisy Dove, over the past few months.

The news, while subtle in delivery, points to deeper reasons behind the high-profile breakup.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's Relationship Timeline

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship began in 2016 after they met at a Golden Globes afterparty. Their connection quickly turned romantic, although they briefly broke up in 2017. The pair reunited later that year, and in 2019, Bloom proposed to Perry on Valentine's Day.

Their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, was born in August 2020, and the birth was publicly announced through UNICEF. Though engaged for several years, the couple never married. Wedding plans were postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic and were never rescheduled, leaving fans wondering about their future.

Why Did Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Split?

Sources close to the couple reveal the breakup was driven by emotional distance and conflicting schedules. Perry's global Lifetimes Tour and Bloom's film commitments meant they often struggled to spend meaningful time together. As reported by People, one insider said they had been 'living on an island of stress,' with 'too much going on in their lives' making communication increasingly difficult.

The couple's recent appearance—Bloom attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice alone—intensified public speculation. Bloom's growing involvement in Sánchez's spaceflight social circle may have exacerbated the emotional strain.

Bloom shared philosophical quotes from Carl Jung and Daisaku Ikeda on Instagram, which fans interpreted as signs of personal reflection and change.
