Singer Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have officially ended their engagement, closing a chapter on their high-profile relationship that began in 2016 and lasted nearly nine years.
Representatives for both confirmed the decision, stating the couple will now focus on co-parenting their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, who was born in 2020. In a joint statement, Perry and Bloom shared that they will “continue to prioritize their family dynamic” and raise their daughter with “love and mutual respect.”
The pair first met at a Golden Globes after-party in 2016, and their relationship became a fixture in entertainment headlines, marked by a brief split in 2017 before they reunited and got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019. Despite their commitment, sources close to the couple noted the pressures of demanding schedules contributed to challenges in maintaining the relationship.
In recent months, Perry has been on tour while Bloom has been attending events independently, including appearing solo at public gatherings. Despite the separation, the couple has been seen together at family-centered events, signaling their ongoing commitment to co-parenting.
Perry, known for global hits such as Firework and Teenage Dream, and Bloom, celebrated for his roles in The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, have also been active in humanitarian work, including their roles as UNICEF goodwill ambassadors.
The split, described as amicable, marks the end of one of entertainment’s most followed celebrity relationships while highlighting their shared focus on maintaining a stable environment for their daughter.
