Title: "Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Split After 7 Years, Insider Reveals How Pop Star Is Coping"

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Split After Nearly a Decade Together

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly ended their relationship after nine years, marking the close of an on-and-off romance that included a six-year engagement and raising their four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. The split follows weeks of escalating tension, with sources describing it as “a long time coming” due to months of strain.

Amicable Separation and Family Focus
A source told Us Weekly the breakup is “not contentious,” with Perry reportedly “upset but relieved” to avoid another divorce after her difficult split from Russell Brand. The pair are prioritizing co-parenting Daisy, whom Perry has been frequently spotted with during her Lifetimes tour in Australia. Bloom, meanwhile, has attended events solo, including Jeff Bezos’ upcoming wedding, where he’s expected to appear as a “single man.”

Tensions Amid Career Challenges
The split comes amid a rocky period for Perry, whose album 143 faced criticism and underwhelming sales, dubbed by some as “AI-generated.” Her tour also drew mixed reviews and viral trolling, adding stress to her personal life. “Katy was deeply frustrated… it caused tension,” an insider shared. Bloom, 48, has been supportive but focused on his own projects, including film promotions and parenting his 13-year-old son, Flynn, from his previous marriage to Miranda Kerr.

Living Arrangements and Rumors
Speculation about trouble arose when the couple rented their $30 million Montecito mansion to Pratt and Schwarzenegger. While they own another property in the area, the rented home was intended to be their “family home” before plans shifted. “They’ve been living apart since Katy’s tour began,” the source noted.

A Rollercoaster Romance
Perry, 40, and Bloom first sparked rumors in 2016 after a Golden Globes after-party dance-off. Their relationship included quirky moments, like a nude paddleboarding trip in Italy and dressing as elderly versions of themselves for a 2021 voting rights short film. After a 2017 split, they rekindled in 2018, got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019, and welcomed Daisy in 2020.

Despite efforts to reconcile, sources say the pair couldn’t overcome mounting pressures. Perry remains focused on her tour and daughter, while Bloom navigates co-parenting and career commitments. Fans hope both will find peace post-split, closing this chapter of their headline-making love story.
