In a joint statement shared with major US media outlets, pop sensation Katy Perry and celebrated actor Orlando Bloom have come forward to announce their official separation. The couple, who began their romantic journey in 2016, had been together through ups and downs, including an engagement on Valentine's Day in 2019. They share a four-year-old daughter.
The representatives of Perry and Bloom emphasized that the duo has gradually been altering their relationship dynamics over the past several months, with the primary goal now being a harmonious and supportive co-parenting arrangement. They reassured fans that both would continue to be seen together, highlighting the importance of raising their child in a loving and stable environment.
This announcement comes in response to "an abundance of recent interest and conversation" in their relationship status, which has garnered substantial media attention. It's worth noting that the couple experienced a brief split in 2017 but reconciled shortly thereafter.
Perry's recent year has been challenging, as her latest album "143" and lead single "Woman's World" did not achieve the expected commercial success. Additionally, reports have surfaced indicating slower ticket sales for her current tour compared to earlier in her career. The singer also faced public criticism following a space trip with Blue Origin in April, a backlash that she described as leaving her feeling "battered and bruised."
The 40-year-old singer, who gained fame in 2008 with her hit "I Kissed A Girl," has produced several chart-topping singles since then, such as "Roar," "California Gurls," and "Firework." Orlando Bloom, 48, is a well-known figure in the film industry, recognized for his roles in iconic franchises like "Pirates of the Caribbean," "The Lord of the Rings," and "The Hobbit." He was previously married to Australian model Miranda Kerr, with whom he shares a 14-year-old son, Flynn.
As both Perry and Bloom navigate their new chapter, their commitment to their daughter remains the focal point of their relationship.
