Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Split: Inside Their Relationship Journey

Garik K.

After nearly a decade together, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called it quits, and fans are still trying to understand why. The couple, once seen as a Hollywood fairytale, seemed rock-solid through ups, downs, and even a postponed wedding. But now, as more details come out, we might finally be getting some clarity on what really caused the split.

Katy and Orlandos love story began in 2016 with a flirtation over In-N-Out burgers at a Golden Globes afterparty. They made things official soon after, fell head over heels, and by Valentines Day 2019, Orlando had proposed in a helicopter with all of Katys friends and family waiting to celebrate.

Plans for a dream wedding followed, with Japan set as the location. But after postponing the event in 2020, the big day never happened, and over time, that excitement seemed to fizzle out. The pair welcomed their daughter Daisy in 2020, but the wedding bells stayed silent.

This wasnt their first time calling it quits. The two had split once before in 2017, describing it at the time as a break rather than a breakup. Still, they stayed close and eventually found their way back to each other.

But according to sources, the past few months were tough. While Katy toured and Orlando filmed overseas, the distance and lifestyle differences seemed to take a toll. One insider said, Theyre pretty much done. [They] dont really see them being able to turn things around here.

In a 2024 interview, Orlando opened up about how they made the relationship work by choosing each other every single day. He shared that they challenged one another and made the conscious effort to stay committed.

But even with that effort, Katy later admitted that their relationship started unevenly. She was fresh out of a breakup, while Orlando had just come off a period of celibacy. They were on different pages, and that imbalance seemed to follow them for years.

While theyre living separate lives now, its clear this was a love that meant a lot to both. And with so much history, fans are still hoping theyll find peace, even if its not together. Could the pressures of fame, distance, and personal growth have slowly pulled them apart? That just might be the answer.

Neither of them has publicly spoken out since the breakup, but both are keeping busy. Katy is deep into her Lifetimes Tour and focusing on giving fans the show of a lifetime. Orlando, meanwhile, was recently spotted in Venice with the Kardashians and Tom Brady, enjoying Jeff Bezos extravagant wedding .
