Overview

  • They publicly confirmed their amicable split in late June, six months after privately deciding to part ways in January.
  • Perry’s global Lifetimes tour, which launched in April, saw the couple living apart and highlighted their diverging schedules.
  • Insiders point to strain from Perry’s “143” album’s mixed reviews and her April Blue Origin space flight as key friction points.
  • Despite their 2019 engagement, they never set a wedding date and delayed announcing their split until Perry’s tour obligations eased.
  • Bloom is expected to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Venice wedding solo as both stars focus on co-parenting their daughter, Daisy Dove.
