Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s love story is over.
On Wednesday, Us Weekly confirmed rumors that the couple had ended their on-and-off nine-year relationship through a source close to the pair, who told the magazine, “Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable.”
“It’s not contentious at the moment,” the insider said of the former couple, who share 4-year-old daughter Daisy Bloom.
“Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life,” the source added, referring to the “Roar” singer’s turbulent 14-month marriage to actor-turned-spiritual grifter, Russell Brand.
The magazine’s insider said the breakup had been “a long time coming” as things between the two had “been tense for months.”
The pop star and actor were first linked in 2016, broke up in 2017 and then were engaged in 2019.

But earlier this month, a separate source told Us that the duo “never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything,” and at that point Bloom was “over it.”
TMZ reports that the “Lord of the Rings” actor will be embracing the single life this weekend during Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos’ glitzy wedding to journalist Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy.
“He’s the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard,” one source told the tabloid.
Though Perry and Sanchez got to bond as dilettante astronauts during the much-maligned Blue Origin rocket launch in April, the singer will not be present for the high-profile nuptials.
She is currently in the midst of the Australian leg of her Lifetimes World Tour.
